Simo - The Red Shoe Diaries (Part 1)

*Reach down… Reaching out starts with the bar Infront of you, not an ideal way to start a pull!

(And before anyone more sarcastic and pedantic comes along - I am aware some sweet deadlifters roll the bar into themselves to initiate the pull!)

I was speaking with pathos not lifting mechanics, you philistine!

Don’t you take the mirth out of my intentional misunderstanding!

I wouldn’t dream of it my good Sir.

Thursday 23rd December

SSB squat
Bar x 10
70 x 5
90 x 8 x 3 sets (198 lbs)
Dropped the weight on these cause lower back was tight as a nuns chuff from deadlift yesterday.

Bench press
Bar x 10
70 x 5
90 x 3
100 x 2
107.5 x 5 (237 lbs) RPE 9
107.5 x 5 RPE 9
107.5 x 5 RPE 9
107.5 x 5 RPE 10
107.5 x 4 RPE 10 back cramped which cost me the last rep.

Bench moved pretty well again. I keep expecting all the high rep burpees to have a negative impact but I am not seeing it yet.

Pull ups
BW +20kg - 5 set of 3
These were solid.

Prowler
80kg - EMOM
10 runs up and back.

What a bloody great session. If you hear a trumpet it is me blowing mine. Quality

Managed to squeeze in a little burpee session.
Just a straight 100 - 1 pump burpees. Tried to keep a good pace and minimise the breaks. Got it done in under 10 mins. Not exactly fast but enough to work up a great sweat and get the lungs burning.

Merry Christmas to you all, hope you are your families have a great festive period. Stay strong and stay safe.

The old guy didn’t bring me the hip but I did get some new nice knee sleeves so that’s a close second. :joy:

This is Simo we are talking about. Gray shirt, black shorts, red shoes…so the knee sleeves will be blue or yellow or some shit.

Merry Christmas!

Good to see the level of speculation as to the colour is the new sleeves.

They are actually a kind of grey urban camouflage so I can train incognito!!
