Wasn’t sure how to interpret doing four sets on the reverse hyper/KB swing so just went for the suckiest interpretation. Couldn’t setup belt squats before completing barbell squats (commercial gym). A dip belt and a loading pin is now higher on my to-buy list.

Great stuff dude! For me, I did the dropset on the squats and then just limped right over to the reverse hyper and did my 4th set. And no worries on setting up the belt squats ahead of time: that rest won’t do much 1 way or the other, haha. Good on you for making it through.

And that’s how I did it with the swings! That strip set was brutal. It was a challenge to step down, strip, step back up and start that first rep. I used some plastic step-up aerobics thingamajigs to elevate myself to get added ROM. Quad galore. Thanks again for posting it!

I hate 70 rep sets too!

Thanks for noticing

Edit: fixed!

Climbing

Routes: a bunch. Pushed hard on one, like really hard. Was “cruxing” out but didn’t take the fall and just kept at it. Spent a lot of minutes on the wall and finding active rest on finger pockets. Totally dope.

Made post-workout apple pie and quark

I know some people follow my log for the Scandinavian-ness. Here’s a US-call-out from my neighbouring Norway,

(our alphabet is equally big, super weird flex I know)

A less funny Scandinavian-ness. Mushroom season is a month late this year which means that its supposed to be this wet and humid last month, not this month. We’re supposed to start having snow, not picking mushrooms.

E. Leg Press 1 100 just the machine

That leg press was money for my patellar tendonitis. @j4gga2 100 rep leg press might be worth adding to your bag of tricks. The tendon was aggravated before the gym but not after. First day since I first mentioned it that I could get on my bike and do that first pedal without any uncomfortable sensation in the tendon.

What’s bringing you to my neck of the woods? Also, if you are staying in Stockholm, everything that goes on there is not representative of Sweden at large. But any observations you make, feel free to @ :slight_smile:

Don’t the Icelandic got even more letters? their d and th?

Nice vid. here we don’t see much of Scandinavian culture, which usually stays up there. I must confess than other metal bands, I only know Superwalkers, Ikea, the mythology ahah


I’m going to the Mackmyra distillery in Gavle to fill and lay down a cask of whisky :slight_smile:

I am going to spend two nights in Stockholm too - any recommendations apart from the Abba museum?? I have a booking at Matbaren which I’m told is the best restaurant in Stockholm


@Voxel you ok if I shoot you an email? Nothing too serious, just an idea I’m working on.

Mackmyra, lovely! I’ll see if I can get word of what to do in sthlm these days. My recommendations are somewhat out-of-date

Shoot!

Sent, thank you.
