Journey to Size

Well, after the illness I was in no mood to write anything, due to constant stress, so I’m gonna log my last two workouts at least.

  • Squats
    • 2x5 20kg 1x5 40kg 1x5 60kg 1x3 80kg 1x2 100kg 1x1 110kg
    • ISO holds 3x10s 180kg

  • Overhead press

  • Barbell curl
    • 1x5 25kg 2x3 38.5kg

Overhead press, Skullcrushers and curl weren’t the cleanest ones, I guess, I’ll have to have a look at the technique in more detail. Also, most of the lifts are my PRs, but I don’t really feel well doing them as 1) the few last trainings took me over 2 hours to complete, as I feel really gassed after every set of squats, 2) my right toe joint hurts a little, when I push the toe against the ground, hopefully it’s only a mild inflammation and 3) it’s maybe better, but not even close to something like “intermediate” and no visual changes occurred during the last month.

Also, after discussing it in Accessory Day For Stronglifts 5x5 , I’m gonna try Super Squats asap. Hopefully, the effects will be somewhat better visually.


T-ransformation Challenge

On a more positive note, aside from benchpress and deadlift I’ve already beaten my strength goals in the challenge.
