The Danish Viking: back to 531: Road to 2-3-4 Plates

Lucky ducky. I am trying to resist the temptation to go out and buy a ton of shit.

Should you decide I’ve got a friend that sells that stuff, I’ll bet I could get you a bit of a discount. Trithon . dk

Woke at 78 kg - can’t keep the weight down during weekends, ah well. I’ll try to eat clean’ish and not care to much about the weight. I’ve been tracking for years now, knowing it goes up and down. I can only stay focused for a small amount of time.


Todays training: Bench PR + OHP 5 x 10

Bench topset RPE 9,5 I’m not following my own rule of stopping 1 or 2 shy of failure.

OHP 60% 11 reps, the last set was close to rpe 10

Giant sets gets my heart rate up and the sweat out.

A big advantage of a homegym, combined with working from home, I should be doing even more.

  • Biceps curl 17,5 kg x 6, 8, 10 + 3 rest pause

.

58 minutes + 10 minutes warm up.

.

Deadlift moved fine, the 117 felt heavy, but the two sets at 130 was fine RPE 8 or less, drop set was a grinder Pwn way, got to 5, and thought oh boy. But then I just kept going. Had to get on my knees for 30 seconds before attempting the chin ups.

Squats are moving damn good after deadlift, but do I stand back wheezing like and old steam engine.

Giant set just plain sucks, because I’m exhausted. This day and the squat day are really tough, set by set it don’t seem that much but it creeps up on me.

.

Don’t know if I’m happy about the home gym. No excuse for not working out.

Thanks Rob. It’s very slowly, might even be slower than slowly.
I’m doing the main lift week 1 10 reps w2 8 reps w3 6 reps.
Only going to increase when I get all rep ranges with ease.
Then the BBB challenge with my own alterations.
So very slow it is.

Sounds perfect and as long as you eat some food it will work.

Keep pushing, we all need to in this time. Something physical to do with all the anxiety of the unknown…

That could be the culprit of my missing gainzzzz, But I’m trying to eat…
That said today I was below 77 kg yet again.

Hey mortdk, just wanted to swing in and say I’ve been creeping your log for a while now, haha. Looks like we’re set up sort of similarly with 531- are you enjoying it?

And I’m with you on the weight gain man. I’m the opposite of you though… Too much fun to be had on weekends to find time to eat.

Hey my friend welcome by, yeah we’re kind of on the same.
Yeah I like Jims work, doing the amrap sets was very rewarding for me a couple of years back, when I started the log that is.
First time I’m trying to do the BBB work for a couple of cycles, I like it so far.
I’m having a lot of fun during the weekends as well, for me that includes a lot of eating.
