Persistent Guy's Training Log Continues

2x6: deadlift 193 kg
8x3: pullup 30 kg
3x8: pullup

Papaya olives still unopened, but a few years ago I bought some dumplings filled with stinging nettles and cheese. Haven’t seen them since, so this spring I planted some of those things to eat, in dumplings and otherwise. They basically taste like spinach when cooked, just a bit sweeter. Since my mom’s here, got her making dumplings for tomorrow.

3x10: front squat 79 kg
3x8: military press 61 kg
3x8: dip 12 kg

Doing the dips weighted by just holding a dumbbell between my legs. Not adding weight to the front squats, tbh I should stick to this weight but do it without super-long rest periods.

As for the papaya olives, well, as expected, they have the least flavor of the three. If the pineapple olives tasted like olives with honey, these are just olives with sugar. Worth trying silly things, though. And maybe in spite of all the social isolation, I’ll find an excuse to get somebody else to try these before I just eat them all myself.

Also wanted to buy a goat this week, but they’re still only around 8 kg, so I’ll let them grow a bit bigger. Got a lamb instead. Also wanted to get duck eggs, but the lady I buy eggs from couldn’t get any from her cousin cause she sold them all already, so I settled for just goose eggs.

Yeah, I might have the most hipster diet of anybody on this site.

Dinner today is two tench. Had to look up the English name of that, but seems that’s what it is.

For practical eating purposes, it’s pretty much trout with inedible skin, slightly darker flesh and bones that are bigger and easy to pick out. But kinda trout-sized.

Also fried a couple of those goose eggs for breakfast this morning.

1x12, 2x10: Zercher squat 109 kg
1x2: military press 79 kg
1x3: military press 75 kg
1x5: military press 71 kg
3x10: seated db press 20 kg

Enough of the food talk for now, I think. It’s getting repetitive - breakfast was blood sausage again, dinner is leg from the lamb I got Tuesday, plus whatever vegetables I feel like frying.

1x7, 1x6: deadlift 193 kg
1x3, 7x2: pullup 32 kg
3x8: pullup

The best way to get better at weighted pullups really is to get less fat.

3x10: front squat 79 kg
3x8: military press 61 kg
3x8: dip 12 kg

Doing the warm-up sets for the squats holding the bar properly instead of arms crossed, but can’t quite do that with working weight and hit good depth yet. Even when I was a kid in school, I was never flexible, but hopefully with time my wrists will get used to this.

Added a couple of reps to the middle set of cleans.

1x3: military press 75 kg
1x5: military press 71 kg
3x10: seated db press 20 kg

Dropped the weight way down on the Zerchers and went ATG. Funny how it’s easier to do that with Zerchers than front squats, maybe because the weight isn’t as high up above my own center of gravity, so it pulls forward less at the bottom?

1x10: deadlift 173 kg
2x3, 6x2: pullup 32 kg
3x8: pullup

So the cleans are now back to where they were before my left elbow started acting up.

Doing the squats off sawhorses again, after warmup did 15 medium singles lowering them slowly and taking time between them. Then did 15 light singles with just five breaths before the next one. Quite unpleasant by the end.

Seems to be carb-up day - lunch was a few rabbit livers fried with two pears, and dinner is chicken breasts roasted with half a pineapple.
