Today I had box sparring for cardio with friend who is slightly experienced in MMA, fun stuff. Years of hitting bag wasnt completely useless, I held my own, but my cardio condition sucks. Squats getting heavier, but still having some power in tank.

Training in time pressure again, probably i will do one short accessory training this week.
Presses wasnt exactly easy, but i had some power in tank. Deadlifts were smooth. Did one set less because of time.

Didnt do assisted dips/pullups because machine was broken. So next time.

I burned my skin on trapezius by working on sun, so squats were torture. Weight was OK, but every rep was painful.

Very heavy today, should be triples. Now I will do step back - 90% of my last successful squat session. So i will do 5x3x125kg. And then add 2,5kg every training from 140kg, which was last successful squat session.

So, I decided to start cutting weight from tomorrow. Strength won’t be a priority for a while. I look like a fat disgusting bitch. I also need to rebuild my form, especially on squats and deadlifts, because I didnt give a fuck about that for many years. But now I stuck for very long time on 160kg squat and 250kg deadlift, and I dont think its realistic for me to build bigger lifts without some major changes.

Today I did 80kg strict press and 120kg paused bench press. Both all-time personal best lifts, BUT! previous maxes was just few kilos under that and I weighed like 20kg less. So it doesnt really make me happy and technically, I am weaker compared to my bodyweight. Dead Lift I did with 190kg and then failed 220kg, which is weight, that I usually can lift anytime anywhere.

Today i did some sparring with friend and then some boxing and kicking on bag. In the end we did like 50 sprawlers for cardio. And nearly died :smile:

I also pulled my hamstring when we fought each other. Need few days for recover.
