Walked 5 miles 2 days ago to get to a dental appointment. I havenāt walked that far in months, or nearly at all, but I was not ruined the next day as had happened previously. The higher rep program seems to have prepared the body better for that sort of activity.

I feel you on not wanting to train .
our gyms are closed here and Mine big chain probably wont make it out of covid at all.
I either do a solid 30 minutes of crap calisthenics,
or I space out the same effort and reps over the day - then it feels like I almost did something.
I will say the loaded ruck/walks have are a game changer for leanness and actual hypertrophy - jealous you get to borrow some gear.

Adductors were so sore/stretchy-hurt that I opted to do RDLs instead of DLs. I do a wider stance on conventional DLs and it involves the adductors a lot. Didnāt want to tear something even though the weight is comparatively light. Think I can raise weight on the regular OHPsā¦

Are the CG overhead presses hitting your delts or your tris moree?
Tris, but getting the bar back over the head is more challenging than a regular press too. It comes down further out front
