I did train today but let’s just all collectively forget that it happened, okay?
It did include a 220 kg paused deadlift and a lot of bullshit. Like the whole sessions was. But doesn’t matter now. It’s over.

Okay I’m ready to be mature now about logging my session.
1 front squats
Up to
1 @ 120 kg
1 @ 130 kg
1 @ 140 kg
0 @ 145 kg - I don’t think anyone has ever failed a squat at a higher point than this. I already had it basically but then the bar slid off my shoulder (I wore a tank top)
Reattempted this but no dice.
2 @ 130 kg - slapped on wraps and noticed they actually don’t really help because the limiting factor is solely my upper back
2 paused deadlifts
3 x 1 @ 200 kg
1 @ 210 kg
1 @ 220 kg
3 floating paused deadlift
4 x 5 @ 160 kg
Okay so - I had the energy level of an overripe tomatoe. I had no business lifting heavy. I was not even close to being mindfully present and focused on the task at hand. I somehow did only commit to very stupid things. I will have significant time off from the gym now due to travel - not the nice kind at first and thought - eh what the hell, don’t care, etc. etc.
Mind is shut off rn, so excuse the weird logging formats.

We left today til Thursday for a study vacation (a group of 6) to prepare together for our upcoming final state exams. After that I’ll go on a big big hike (actually s bit scared, haha) for 3 days. So this is the longest time off fro. The gym in quite a while!
1 push ups

Alternating the two.
Pump in the chest was garstly after the all out on the first set
Got me huffing, puffing and pumped up. Which I think is a bit embarrassing. But on the plus side, I’m pretty proud to do 40 push ups on whim. …

Tank tops are not my friend, I wore one when doing a KB workout (good conditioning option that has limited leg impact in my experience btw), and so much sweat that was normally in my shirt was on my hands, awful. Pretty much never wear them except for lazy shoulder/arm days even though i like the cooling effect of them.
On a slightly different note, you ever taken a shot of your FS directly from the side? We seem to have pretty similar builds and i’ve gotten better at not failing on the top half of the squat (not much better but a bit) by worrying about my bar path. Breaking with the hips and knees at the same time (which you seem to do) and trying not to hinge too much helps my verticality, feels a bit odd but seems to be helping the bar not be in front of me at the bottom of the squat.

Got a mean and painful blister under the left foot which made today’s trip a bit rough and in general I’m feeling the three days but today had some especially beautiful scenery.

Okay to still be able to press 140 kg from the front under the current circumstances with everything happening outside the gym and no real structured training kinda baffles me. It seems there is still some strength left here. Also this is the second week back doing front presses in general. 140 kg is 5 kg from my best from the front and 10 kg from my best ever (btn jerk). I was a bit heavier for both and a lot better trained though. So this is kind of motivating and fun.
In general this session was crazy good at lifting my mood up. I had a rough day and training turned that around majorly. After the 140 kg press I just had so much fun!
