Persistent Guy's Training Log Continues

Thanks! I’m lifting again today, even though it should be a day off, because other stuff came up to do tomorrow evening, and at this point I’m kinda curious how much skipping rest days I can get away with. Feeling fine at this point, still, just sore in a few spots more so than usual.

3x10: Zercher squat 99 kg
1x2: push press 85 kg
1x3: push press 81 kg
1x5: push press 77 kg
3x12: seated db press 16 kg

2x6: deadlift 193 kg
6x3: pullup 28 kg
3x8: pullup

5x5: front squat 109 kg
3x8: military press 59 kg
3x12: dip

3x5: pause deadlift 159 kg
2x15: pullup
3x8: cheat curl 49 kg

Left thigh was pretty sore yesterday and I’m still feeling it today. It’s been feeling not quite right for a few weeks now, so I figure I’d give it a break from the cleans.

3x10: Zercher squat 99 kg
3x8: push press 69 kg
3x10: seated db press 18 kg

2x6: deadlift 193 kg
6x3: pullup 28 kg
3x8: pullup

Left thigh feels fine, maybe not quite 100% when climbing stairs three steps at a time, but totally fine on the deads.

5x5: front squat 109 kg

Then got dragged into helping a friend move cause other people bailed. No furniture or other heavy stuff to pick up, but a lot of carrying bags down then up stairs. I did get a jar of Moroccan almond butter out of it, though.

Nice, im sure it was appreciated because the only thing worse than moving is when you have to do everything by yourself because everyone bailed.

Well, that and unpacking.

Oh yeah, it was definitely appreciated, getting a jar of Moroccan almond butter which you can’t buy here really shows that.

And today:

3x10: Zercher squat 99 kg
1x8: push press 73 kg

I should video a set of the Zerchers sometime, just to see how silly my face looks by the last rep.

And here’s one of the Zercher sets on video. I do make silly faces, but not quite as silly as I expected.

Left hip joint still a bit sore, maybe slight inflammation or something.

3x8: push press 69 kg

On the last squat set, I tripped over one of the sawhorse legs, put a nice round hole in the sheetrock wall, and figured that since nothing crashed down to the ground it wasn’t worth trying to put the bar back and setting up again, so I just did the set. It actually felt a little lighter than usual. That bit of adrenaline helps, I guess.
