Stronkfak's Getting Stronk AF

Intensity Day

2 sets of 20 pushdowns and facepulls as I was waiting for the guy that was using the rack to finish

Pin ohp (half rack,hole 3 from above,bar at mouth level,maybe a bit above but below my nose)
20 kg x 10 x 2
30 kg x 3
40 kg x 1 All these were done on the other rack,from neck level cause I was still waiting
50 kg x 1
60 kg x 1
70 kg x 1
Missloaded 72.5 kg,which moved incredibly slow.Still happy that I didn’t die since there were 2.5 kg more on one side
75 kg / 165 lbs x 1 speed on point.I could probably grind out 2.5 more kg

Deadlift
60 kg x 6
60 kg + 1 yellow band x 5

140 kg + 1 yellow band x 1 Moved slow,so I decided to skip the last warm up set
175 kg / 385 lbs + 1 yellow band x 1 Started a bit forward,which made it needlessly hard at knee/just below knee level

Paused leg press
40 kg x 5
80 kg x 5
110 kg / 242 lbs x 6 x 2 Gonna be doing some short of paused leg press on every intensity workout cause I think they’ll help with speed of the floor

Barbell row
20 kg x 20
60 kg x 5
80 kg x 3
100 kg x 3
120 kg / 264 lbs x 3

105 kg / 231 lbs x 6 x 4 I’m gonna lighten up the weight and reduce rom a bit for the time being.If it ends up being too easy I’ll throw an extra set or 2.It’s really stupid not pausing or keeping great form on a movement which’s whole point is to put you in a disadvantage off the floor

Also did some neck work yesterday

Last week I did seated press,paused 65 kg / 143 lbs x 1 pretty easily and deadlift with a green and a yellow band 132.5 kg / 291.5 lbs x 1

Recovery is amazing with this program, and I think I can tollerate a bit more work, so I’ll play around with adding a third day with some really light pulls and some moderate presses

Considering that, I’ve gotten pretty stronger

Happer shoulder press facing the pad
If you do these regularly the machine is shit,cause it has you pressing with the elbows behind the handles,but facing the pad it felt really good.Also the fact that I was pressing away from my body made it really shoulder friendly
