Thought I’d be feeling terrible today after a day off work yesterday. I ended up doing some jackhammering, hauling rubble in a wheelbarrow, pruning trees and cutting the branches into small pieces to bag them, and then hand-disassembling about 20 pomegranates. Woke up feeling totally fine, though.

how has training been feeling lately?
Been feeling good, which means less joint pain than usual, and only in a few spots, heh. I’m not yet at the “it would be super cool if nothing hurt today” meme level of experience, fortunately.
It’s funny, having started lifting at 30 I have a lot less wear and tear than if I started when I “should” have in my late teens, and certainly a lot less aches and pains than people my age who don’t lift.
Anyway, today:
1x6: pause deadlift 169 kg
1x8: double pause deadlift 149 kg
3x3: pullup 36 kg
1x10, 1x3, 1x2: pullup
1x10, 2x8: Zercher squat 123 kg
3x8: db floor press 42 kg
1x12: db floor press 36 kg
1x12: military press 49 kg
1x12: deadlift 159 kg
3x12: high pull 69 kg
1x7: bentover row 69 kg
Deads felt easier than last week - then I barely locked out the last rep, today felt like I had two in the tank, one at the very least. I don’t think the difference is that I’m stronger today, but that I went no belt. At least on higher-rep deads like this, it’s easier and more comfortable for sure. I think I can lower the bar a bit faster, so I don’t get as tired, especially my grip.

No question about it, for me right now deadlifts are more comfortable with no belt.

Getting that last squat rep wasn’t too bad, but walking it back over the sawhorses was a bit wobbly. Don’t think I could have done even one more.
1x1: deadlift 199 kg
1x3: deadlift 189 kg
2x16: pullup
Annnd then I lugged stuff upstairs, set up microphones, and did a whole bunch of light (up to I think 145 kg) deads with pauses at the bottom, to record picking up and putting down the weight. Pretty tiring tbh, we’ll see how I feel tomorrow, but I also want to record stuff on the sawhorses and the sound of plates clanging when one is added to the bar.
3x10: front squat 99 kg

And also did more recording this morning, which included something like 60 Zercher quarter-squats with various plate configurations. All done now, weights are back downstairs where they belong. Ate like a half a kilo of trout and pike roe to help with recovery.
3x8: snatch grip deadlift 129 kg
3x3: pullup 36 kg
1x10. 2x3: pullup
Feeling OK after recovering yesterday from the previous two days’ excesses, just mildly achey in a few more spots than usual.
