Smolken's Training Log

1x20: deadlift 129 kg
1x3, 7x2: pullup 20 kg
5x3, 3x2: db floor press 49 kg

The idea with the deadlifts is that when I can complete 20 without needing to take more than three breaths between any of the reps, I add weight. Got there today.

And, as promised, a video from yesterday’s gig:

Yup, our more serious band covers Britney Spears. Lady Gaga, too.

4x3, 4x2: front squat 109 kg
2x3, 6x2: pullup 20 kg
3x3, 5x2: military press 65 kg

So now I’m doing military presses for reps with a weight that’s more than I weighed when I started lifting. Not that this means much… But to add a little variety to this very repetitive log, another song from Friday’s gig. This is the best performance of the night IMO.

1x20: deadlift 139 kg
3x3, 5x2: pullup 20 kg
6x3, 2x2: db floor press 49 kg

4x3, 4x2: front squat 109 kg, pullup 20 kg, military press 65 kg

I guess you’re randomly gonna end up with the same number of reps for all the lifts once in a while.

And now, a bit of color:

1x20: deadlift 139 kg
5x3, 3x2: pullup 20 kg
7x3, 1x2: db floor press 49 kg

Tabata front squats: 51 kg

5x3, 3x2: front squat 109 kg
8x3: pullup 20 kg
6x3, 2x2: military press 65 kg

And another live video:

1x20: deadlift 139 kg
8x3: db floor press 49 kg
8x2: pullup 21 kg

These 20 rep deadlifts sure work, but they’re very draining.

1x20: deadlift 139 kg
1x3, 7x2: pullup 21 kg
1x3, 7x2: db floor press 50 kg

Decided to deload.

Deloading some more.

1x20: deadlift 89 kg

Yesterday, last day of deloading.

Back to normal.

1x20: deadlift 139 kg
2x3, 6x2: pullup 21 kg
2x3, 6x2: db floor press 50 kg

Doing something different with the squats - singles off sawhorses. If you’re gonna squat from sawhorses then doing singles makes sense. I was gonna do 15 but the weight I used turned out to be a bit light for that and I did a few extra. Also lowering the weight on the military presses to make sure I don’t cheat at all.
