Squat 70kg x 5, 80kg x 5, 90kg x 5
Not too sure about depth on the 90kg. Should have taken a video.
Trained at a different gym. Same company, but different branch. It was in the process of undergoing renovation. The only squat rack (used to have 3, but only 1 was left) available had a “platform” to cover the beams that supported the rack at the bottom. The whole rack was flimsy, and the platform was not stable. It was also out of wood, and I squat barefoot (with socks) so had to be really careful.
Bench 40kg x 5, 45kg x 5, 50kg x 5, FSL 3 x 5
Lat pull downs 39kg x 10, 45 kg x 10, 39kg x 10
Awkward plates. The lbs were divisible by 5 and 10s so the kgs were weird
Single arm seated cable rows 10 reps per side x 3 sets
Really didn’t like the gym so just did my shit and left. Oh well. More training sessions to come! I doubt I’ll be going back to that branch
On the A workout, I just alternate which lift gets FSL so I don’t burn myself out (still gonna play volleyball monday nights and possibly thursdays too). I really like this template because I can always drop the second A workout if the week is hectic.
I can also do an FSL AMRAP instead of 3 x 5 if I feel like it. Although last time I used it, I liked it for the bench, not so much for squat because I’m currently playing with using paused squats for FSL
Also, gonna use 5’s pro for Deadlift conventional to stay disciplined on form. I’m being a bit stubborn about continuing with conventional instead of sumo, so it’s something to think about for me
Haha, so yeah, kind of a bastardized 5/3/1 For Beginners, but I think the slight modifications aren’t overboard
I just use the same percentage as the week for the second day (so if it’s 3s week, I still use 3s for example). I don’t usually try to beat it actually. If it’s 3s week, I’d be happy to get 5, or until I feel form breaks down if it’s a good day. I’m pretty sure there are some occasions I have broken rep PRs on the second day though. A1 is usually focused on the squat, and A2 is focused on the bench. So for A2, I just make sure squat technique is solid.
Not sure if it they have an app, but the site is strenglevel(dot)com and symmetricstrength(dot)com. Gets redundant logging workouts, but I like seeing graphs to track progress. Tells me my best lifts too based on e1RM regardless of reps, so I find that useful
Sumo rep capacity is misleading (at least for myself and quite a few other people) with the reduced ROM and other shit. Reps all day but throw it in a 1RM calculator will probably over estimate unless you are using a 3 rep max or less.
Not gonna train today. Game night last night after 2 or so months not playing. Shoulder feels unstable right now from all the swinging. Will see how it feels tomorrow
Ok so @chickenlittle, @dagill2, @SkyzykS
Any ideas how to make these fluffy eggs better? All I did was put 4 eggs in, added a little salt, pan scrambled them, and took them out before they became fully cooked. Any ideas what to add? I’ve heard using butter rather than oil is what some people do?
I know it’s just eggs, but you know, baby steps lol
I’ll use about a quarter cup of milk in a batch of 4-6 eggs, whip into a froth, then slowly pour on to a lightly buttered, medium hot pan. As it cooks and puffs I don’t actually knock them around but gently fold them over on to themself, then chop a little with the spatula.
A few dashes of pepper in there as it cooks to taste.
Looks like your pan wasn’t quite hot enough. Try raising the temperature a little.
Try adding the salt after cooking.
Don’t stir so much. Genlty pull/ push them in the pan.
