Yeah, chsing something very big here and currently things are moving well. Although the comp is kind of in the way but time isn’t really running out, eh?

Maxing out on jerking or being a jerk that is?

Good to see you back in here, mate.

I’ll try to lift shirtless more with the incoming summer to keep you around.

Could be there is a language barrier here in terms of all the different things ‘jerking’ can refer to.

I doubt that but will agree to leave it at that point to keep it USK 12 (that’s like PG 13 in German)

Right, there are children reading your log, we have to be careful.

I hope not. They’re gonna be terrified of growing up. At least when they read the part about how life sucks and existing is pain and stuff. But I got a big biceps, so we’re halfway there.

Ergometer cycling
45 minutes @ 150 watts, >70 rpm, 19 km

Not the full hour but 150 watts was a lot on sore legs.

This made me laugh so hard. You should offer counseling sessions.

I had 4 psychotherapies so far - I kind of played through the game and am half a therapist myself at this point. :smiley:

Thanks mate, I’m currently on a good path with my training and this is the most relaxed I have ever approached a comp prep. Whatever happens, will happen on the day.

Love this attitude. I really like the idea of making the training more simple and just moving some big weight around and just doing your best on the day. I feel like training for many people has got way too complicated and we have lost some of that old school grunt.

Oh for sure and I absolutely fall into this category. I know I’m not going to get great results given the events on the day but hey, I’m giving it my best shot and we will see what is there. It’s probably my only chance to step on the platform this year.

12.05.

Sitting at 120,1 kg, belly 109 cm, chest 122 cm, arm 45,5 cm flexed, thigh 77

I paused my diet plans but also am trying to stay around 120 - 122 max.

1 weight for height
12 x 2 @ 18 kg

I got creative :smile: (see video)

2 carry medley
2 x (10m x (87 kg keg - 100 kg sandbag) - 125 kg sandbag)

1 x (10m x (87 kg keg - 125 kg sandbag) - 150 kg sandbag)

  • couldn’t load the 150 kg bag because that’s 150 kg sand in a bag meant for 175 kg. It’s literally falling apart, it’s that lose. But I got it in my lap, which really is quite a task, I think.

3 ssb front squats
3 x 5 @ 72 kg

That 150 bag looks like my 100. Floppy as hell and very hard to handle. Nice work all round mate. Oh and damn you are a big boy. Quality
