Same, I can eat like a whole pizza and just train immediately after. Feels good.

@TX_iron I’m quite lucky in that department. Neither the shoulders nor the knees are a concern, even if I’m pressing 4 times a week. If something starts to be an issue it’s my ever damaged left quad/hip flexor which never fully recovered for some reason or more noticeably the elbows.
@strongmanvinny2 @anna_5588 I actually also deal quite well with fats. If they’re too high and also poor fat choices, I will feel a little off eventually but I’ll have to push it for that.

1 power jerk
1 @ 115 kg
1 @ 125 kg
1 @ 135 kg
1 @ 145 kg - PR!!!
0 @ 155 kg - misload 
0 @ 150 kg
Very satisfied with this and the best part: I seriously feel like I’m not too far off 150 kg
2 pull ups
1 @ +10 kg
1 @ +15 kg
0 @ +20 kg
1 @ +17 kg - PR!
3 strict press (3rm)
1 @ 80 kg
1 @ 90 kg
3 @ 100 kg - PR!
4 prone cuban press
3 x 12 @ 2,5 kg
It just felt logical that I would press 145 kg today. Like 150 would have been great and all but it was a “maybe” in my head. 145 kg was not. Those are the best kind of PRs
Very solid showing and super happy with a new PR! Combined with the body recomp, I’m super happy about the upper body results of this 12 week block!!
Let’s hunt down the deadlift now!

1 deadlift
1 @ 180 kg
1 @ 200 kg
1 @ 220 kg
1 @ 240 kg - PR!
0 @ 250 kg
2 high bar squats
2 @ 120 kg
1 @ 140 kg
1 @ 160 kg
1 @ 170 kg
6 @ 100 kg + bands
3 sandbag
100 kg short walk + load to 125 cm
120 kg shirt walk + load to 125 cm
150 kg - pick but no full extension
I pulled 235 kg March 2021 and when I started this training block I wasn’t even on that level. So I’m happy with the PR, even though it’s comparatively speaking still a pretty weak pull. That’s something I should probably work on - comparing myself less.

@Bagsy I reckon 245 would have maybe been in the cards but then again 240 didn’t feel light exactly, haha.
@QuadQueen aaah I reckon it’ll be fine. It’s not an everyday thing anyway.

My immune system seems to fight something off rn. I don’t feel great but then again not terrible either. Made for a lethargic and dreadful/ exhausting session and I made sure to start the new block off with light weights.

Notes:
- I have had a weird week.Physically I am still drained from maxing out last week. Mentally I have tanked as well and I’m just not sure why. I feel very frustrated (without anything in particular I would be frustrated about… which is frustrating), absent and quick to anger. I don’t like this and I’m not sure what is causing it. I hope the weekend will help to calm me down and sort out what s happening.

1 deadlift
4 x 6 @ 180 kg
2 Box front squats
4 x 5 @ 90 kg
These hit the core and quads like crazy. I’m considering lowering the box a bit but then again this did what I wanted it to.
3 pendlay row
4 x 8 @ 110 kg (beltless)
4 rdl
3 x 8-10 @ 140 kg
Too heavy to start the cycle out with.
5 cardio
Assault bike steady state
5 km in 10.13
Still feeling weird and a bit depressed but I think I might be on the mend.

1 double paused power jerks
6 x 4 @ 100 kg
2 log press (clean once)
3 x 5 @ 91 kg
Slowly getting back into this. Switched from cleaning every rep because a) this log is an abomination and I really need to replace it. And b) in order to get a rep at comp, I’ll need to push my 1-2 rm. I’m confident the clean isn’t going to be the problem.
3 lat pull down
4 x 15 @ 10
Again with the insane pump setup.
4 dips
10,10,9,8 @ +5 kg
Satisfied considering it was the 4th exercise.
5 rear delt flys
4 x 20 @ 7,5 kg
6 hammer curls slow eccentric
3 x ? @ 10 kg
Notes:
- wanted to switch to the usual Mo-Fr schedule so I only had one rest day and I’m SORE!
