Persistent Guy's Training Log Continues

1x12, 2x10: Zercher squat 95 kg
3x12: pullup
1x22, 1x20: military press 53 kg

7x3, 1x8: front squat 109 kg

A set every minute. Was going do to 8x3, but I should have used a bit more weight for that as I was still feeling pretty OK after the third rep of the 8th set, so I just cranked out a few more.

2x2: deadlift 229 kg
1x3: deadlift 209 kg
3x12: db floor press 46 kg
3x8: cheat curl 49 kg

3x12: Zercher squat 95 kg
2x20: military press 55 kg
3x12: pullup

Got home late and very tired after playing one song at a fashion show. The tiring part was carrying my big bass plus computer, interface, headphones etc. there on foot. I should just skip today and lift tomorrow, but then I have a rehearsal with the same singer Thursday evening, so that’s no good if I want to lift every other day. So…

7x3: front squat 113 kg
1x6: front squat 113 kg

Again, a set every minute.

They count as Farmer Walks though!

Heh, good, cause I do have a small garden behind my house, but even if there’s a bumper crop of apples, it’s not big enough to provide much load or distance for farmer’s walks in a more literal farmer sense.

Pausing deads at mid-shin on the way up for 3 seconds. Not too bad, at least with this weight.

2x20: military press 55 kg

My elbows keep drifting in on the squats, which means they then hit the top of my thigh, which limits the range. They stay in place if I don’t put the insulating foam around the bar, though, so I might just have to do it that way in the future.

1x4, 7x3: front squat 119 kg
3x8: military press 75 kg
6x3: pullup 24 kg

After the first set of presses, the base of my right thumb was pretty painful, but after a couple of sets of pullups that went away, and the next two sets of presses went OK. So I think I need to swap the order of those - apparently pullups are good for warming up whatever needs warming up in that thumb.

1x6, 2x5: pause deadlift 143 kg

3x8: cheat curl 49 kg

10x1: front squat 129 kg
6x3: pullup 24 kg
3x8: military press 75 kg

Thought I’d do the front squats a bit heavier, since I’ll be doing paused deadlifts for the next couple of weeks, and that would leave me without going heavy in any lift.

1x6, 2x4: pause deadlift 157 kg
3x12: db floor press 46 kg
3x8: cheat curl 49 kg

1x12, 2x8: Zercher squat 99 kg
3x12: pullup
2x20: military press 55 kg

10x1: front squat 129 kg

Sadly, heavier front squats aggravate whatever’s wrong with my right thumb… so no upper body stuff today.

1x5, 2x4: pause deadlift 169 kg
3x12: db floor press 46 kg
3x8: cheat curl 49 kg

Time to go back to normal deadlifting next week, I think. It’s been 4 weeks of paused ones.
