I am in deep shit. I quadrupled my strength capacity on 13/11 by snatching 60KG 5 times with a possible 6th but now I’m burning out and it takes all my focus to even get one rep @ 100KG squat with previous max at 140KG in Apr. It’s deplorable, my lack of ability to stick with a training prog.
When I mentioned CT’s wave loading program, a very good strength-builder type with lots of opportunities to make a comeback, I was intending to use it but I decided to berserk through and add 5KG a week to my squat. It worked but the lack of volume was my downfall and I could not maintain my strength.
So now, it’s slow and steady wins the race.

Just cleared a RPE 9 Intervals workout. Done for the week. Feels good knowing I slayed them two days in advance. Rolling over workouts haha,

Right knee is funky but it’ll heal. A painful run — but nothing’s stopping the squats. I hate putting my runs on hold and getting a smoke in between — firsts — but I needed something to dull the pain.
Because of my failure to secure a good run, I feel like I have to do a 30+ rd Cindy to get me the satisfaction that I’ve lost. I’ll decide it over a cigarette. I still want a good squat workout later.
28/11
Session 1:
Bumped squats back to 100KG X 3. Next workout, aiming for a 4.
BTW I will be maxing out on Standing Ab wheelouts later. Need to do some damage control. PB is 100 so I know even 40 will be saddening and the death of me.
Since evaluation is over, although I didn’t attend, I am finally free to do whatever I want and that means more bodyweight exercises.
Weighed in 58.45KG despite eating like a pig. HSPU for 50 reps too. Cheers!
Week 1:
On squat days, insert:
- Max Standing wheelouts/HLR
AND/OR - Max HSPU

I could have gone faster. Now, I feel the burn. Statistics show speed drops past the age of 28. Code it so it last for another two.
The coat drops,
the shoulder lops.
The dagger digs,
the blossoms, the figs.
Under the moonlight,
the villian collapses.
Why so serious, Son.
WHY SO SERIOUS?
I teared.
I feared.
Because, I’m a dark knight.

Ordered a break and here comes my Carlsberg! Nah!!
I have an important workout waiting for me and I want it done in minimal discomfort for my dear face. Luckily, it’s in the technologically most advanced gym in SG so I guess my fear is that the air-conditioning will stiffen my joints and reduce my ease of transition (warm-up mode) into it.
I believe I deserve a godamn psychologist and I think I’m about to be seen by one, skilled in sport, health and electrical engineering sciences so I pray I don’t oversleep, take my vitamins and try nothing funny around him.
No seriously, @duketheslaya do the PJs. For triple digit reps and tell me facepulls don’t matter. Do 105 in 2h17m and you will come to respect biomechanics. Pressing like a god can wait.
A PJ is like a pull-jump. You pull yourself from a thin bar to a top (thick) bar (stacked vertically) and there are about 10 ways to do it. When you are so fatigued, your movements will become so repetitive to the point each rep feels like throwing your face into the bottom bar.
That’s how you predict your chances of survival. Hope you try it soon!

Goodluck.
My friend encouraged me to take control over my ailing training plans by reminding me to squat. He’s a close trusted ally, one I trust so here is my plan:
14/1
3.5KM run
Pullups max-out (last done end '17 clocked 30 but the speed at which I bang them out has fallen drastically and to my horror, it takes like 5-8s longer for me to complete the set).
My forearms also ache like mad after doing them.
Max SRO
Max Handstand pushups

Snatch 60KG
Squat
No fancy state of the art programming yet. Just assessing my potential for the exercises which will culminate into:
M: Cardio 1 workout (Track Intervals)
T: Snatch/Squat
Th: BW circuit
F: 3.5K cooloff
I fear the pain that will come but my previous combat experience with an even sicker workload reminds me I will no sooner be raring to charge into the workouts.
All other areas of my life are coming together neatly. Magic department in particular is rather successful if I dare say so myself.
-
25 pullups (measly but it was a wetbar, can’t utilize wide-grip and I haven’t done more than 2 sets in 1.5months)
-
3.5K run (RPE9 at the start, ended at RPE5.5)
4K done and dusted.

Drafting my training program soon. I’m stuck at full-fledged 38. I don’t know what to say so then~
40 psub-par pull-ups. I am honestly shocked. No sleep, bad premonition and low morale, but I did it. Next attempt will feature a video, (I thought about that) and I hope it satisfies you all. Happy with it so I’ll take it. Typing with stiff fingers. It went quite smoothly, you know, the do I have it, seems like I don’t but it usually ends up with yes I have it. Gotta have more confidence. Video up in a few days hopefully then its the next phase of training.
I don’t really know what to say, so then~
I plan to maintain it.
I just realized today is the last day of April so thanks be to God. Thank you for … I don’t know how to phrase it, the quantum leap? Video by end of this week then you guys can rate. By year end, I want 43 stricter pull-ups.

Sure as hell appreciated my new-found freedom. Hated the pushups loved the HSPUs.
Had to check your log after you hopped on mine, not sure how I missed yours up to this point but good to see someone who likes the ridiculous amount of volume that I do, especially when it’s pull-up based.

Weighed in at 56.8.
I better move on with a better plan, a better job and a better environment. I don’t feel like walking away from my current plan but I feel it’s a dead-end. I will not reach 40 pull-ups by end of April and neither will I achieve my main goal but it’s a fresh restart.
Stating my new training program soon and adhering to it will be a joke. Looking for work, staying away from distractions and becoming better is my aim.
I had a very bad episode of the worst to come and it’s only getting worse. I don’t know how to describe it in words but just imagine every road you choose comes to a blockade. What do you do then? No one’s there to warn you, you have to drill into the wall next to you and don’t bury yourself in the process if you want to come out survive.
Oh no, I don’t even know how to describe my current situation but I hope I keep researching. I’ve reached the end of mesocortical phase and now it’s AL which I thought was done with but it seems I’m lacking something. A catalyst. The medication… it can’t get me there anymore. Now’s about using experience to express something so innate yet scientific that I totally blew my top today. To top it up, I had a very drastic reversal in behavior, mood and energy levels (physical/mental) that made living a living nightmare. An emptiness that no amount of cigarettes, walking and thinking could mediate.
Posting this as a landmark for future’s use. I don’t seem to understand, what’s wrong with me. Why couldn’t I have made better choices and be more aware of what’s going on. It’s probably too late and I will definitely lose all my abilities if I don’t work hard and quickly draft up a plan-to-action.
It’s like the Joker is after me and I thought I was that guy. God keeps outsmarting me and the devil keeps on hitting me in the head. If it was a mental breakdown at least I could talk it out and pray or something but sorry my friend, is this depression. Once you flip, you shut down everything and then that’s that. You lose everything.
Was it all in my head?
