1x3: deadlift 209 kg
1x3: deadlift 199 kg
1x3: deadlift 189 kg
5x5: pullup 15 kg
Lower back, left arm and right knee all sore, so I went light on the deads and skipped the standing presses. This is where lifting in a gym that’s got more equipment and more training choices would be nice, but oh well.
30x1: front squat 113 kg
3x10: db floor press 46 kg
3x12: pullup
Used a belt for the squats though.
5x1: front squat 137 kg
5x5: military press 73 kg
3x10: alternating hammer curl 22 kg
Trying to make friends with curls again, since my left arm hurts when trying to do pullups today…
1x3: deadlift 229 kg
1x3: deadlift 209 kg
3x10: db floor press 46 kg
3x10: straight bar curl 33 kg
Back feels 100% now, left arm better but not quite 100%, so I’m still giving it a break from pullups.
30x1: front squat 113 kg
1x6, 4x5: military press 73 kg
5x1: front squat 137 kg
3x10: db floor press 46 kg
3x10: inverted row
Tried pullups, still don’t feel right. I think I could do chinups no problem, but I don’t have a bar and do pullups hanging off the side of a stair, and there’s no headroom when hanging in the other direction…
But on the bright side I did the squats every 60 seconds instead of every 90 as usual - just because it’s cold outside, I didn’t turn the radiator on in the room I lift, and it felt like I’d cool down too much in 90 seconds. Tougher than usual, the last single was pretty grindy, but doable.
1x3: deadlift 209 kg
1x3: deadlift 229 kg
Arm still seems to be recovering, giving it more of a break… Maybe I should just completely take a week off or something, but nah. Back’s definitely 100%.
Tabata front squats: 51 kg
It’s been a while. I can still do them. And I still hate them.
5x1: front squat 137 kg
3x8: military press 69 kg
1x12, 2x8: pullup
Pullups feel OK during the top half of the range, still pretty lousy at the bottom, so a lot of those pullups were partials, but each set felt better than the previous, which is a good sign I think.
1x3: deadlift 229 kg
1x3: deadlift 209 kg
3x10: db floor press 46 kg
3x10: straight bar curl 33 kg
Attempts at pullups didn’t go well. Wrapping my arm seems to make them worse.
3 minutes: back squat 59 kg (counted 58 reps)
3x8: military press 69 kg
3x10: inverted row
6x1: front squat 129 kg (one every minute, no belt)
3x10: db floor press 46 kg
3x10: straight bar curl 33 kg
2x5: deadlift 209 kg
3x8: military press 69 kg
3x10: inverted row
3x10: db Cuban press 8 kg
The last one was today’s T-Nation tip for shoulder health, so let’s give it a try…
Also finished this song a few weeks ago, using some new tuba samples I’ve been working on.
4 minutes: back squat 59 kg (kept a steady pace of 18 per minute, then sped up a bit in the last 30 seconds)
3x10: db floor press 46 kg
3x10: straight bar curl 33 kg
6x1: front squat 129 kg (one per minute)
3x8: military press 69 kg
3x10: inverted row
1x3: deadlift 229 kg
1x3: deadlift 209 kg
3x10: db floor press 46 kg
3x10: straight bar curl 35 kg
5 minutes: back squat 59 kg (90 reps total)
3x8: military press 69 kg
Arm’s feeling a lot better, but I’m trying to give it a break from pulling for a week, see if that gets it back to feeling completely normal.
6x1: front squat 129 kg (one every minute)
3x10: db floor press 46 kg
1x6, 1x5: deadlift 209 kg
3x8: military press 69 kg
6 minutes: back squat 59 kg (110 total reps)
3x10: inverted row
3x10: db floor press 46 kg
1x1: pullup
Still some discomfort on the pullup, but the rest’s definitely helped - felt completely fine 30 seconds later. Not “completely normal”, though.
And I got slightly more reps per minute on the squats than last week, but by the end I was out of gas and out of willpower. We’ll see how 7 and 8 minutes go.
