180 - 3x8

leg press
160 4x4

Leg extension and curl SS - 3x15
11 plates and 7 plates respectively.

pull through
3x20 9 plates - really got my glutes going!

Edit:
Rugby today. Was okay. I had to pull out with a glute strain. However getting ready I had a few guys explain the “biggness” that is me right now. 2 of them just going “your a bloody tank”. Which is nice. F=MA - and if you want to decelerate me when we are playing rugby - your going to need some force.

So only 2 out of the 6 exercises today. But I will take the other 4 over to tomorrow.

Yoke walk today 220kg (well 222kg but whos counting)
20m turn around and return - 1 trip
40m stright through - 2 trips.
This was a new experience. 40m straight through was hard. On shitty ground as well. I kept going side ways.
Lunges - 3 sets of 25 with 25kg.
After this I was not keen for rows and shoulders

Monster session

Press from pin
78kg 6x2. Last rep was a fail. BUT these are hard.

Bench from pins - lots more ROM this time
130 x4, then 110 x5, 4 sets

JM press and over heads
super set

The T bar row and pull over super set
75kg and 25kg respectivally. Both 3 sets of 20

The plank (+10kg) and rear delt flies super set.

Over all feel great but tired after that. Loving the lower reps - but higher sets. Lots of high weight volume.

This session was meant to be a whole body affair. But as I done a work out yesterday I can not.

Yoke walk - 6 x15m return with 220kg. Very happy with this. Lots of speed. Finished off with 4 trips of walking lunges. 25kg plate 20 (10 each side).

After some worsening glute pain the coach has changed the workouts.
I’m now on a hypertrophy block. With minimal spine loading. I have a few belt squats in there but there are 0 squats and only 3 sets of dead lifts (light but slow) all week. I have some yoke carries - but also these are light.

It will be interesting to see where this leads us. I made great gains at the end of last year getting to the 190kg x3 squat. But its caused some issues. Time to address these and then carry on.

How’s life going Carl? Lockdown 3.0 made much difference? Good to see the trainings still going, how’s the glute issue? Many changes with training at home or just sticking to the hypertrophy phase as planned?
