I already have big flabby boobs.

2445

I prefer them less hairy

2446

No worries, I shave

2447

Well I guess weā€™ve decided that your goal for lockdown 2.0 is to develop your impressive boobage.

Your obsession with my boobs aside, I think it is going to be a lot of high volume, low weight stuff out of necessity, although I have enough weight to go fairly heavy on shoulders. Bulgarians. The return of the Langskib Launcher. More Bob. More pullups. Start doing front levers again unless I am too fat. HSPUs. Lots of 350 sets and that sort of thing. Standing broad jumps. Maybe I will go outside and run? Hard to say.

I will use my lack of options as a positive, get into better shape.

Thatā€™s what we all told ourselves on lockdown 1.0. I believe youā€™ll probably do it though.

Yeah, along with most other things worth venturing out for. :frowning: But not really a surprise at this point, considering the way things was going.

So so happy I splurged on home training gear in the spring.

I sorta succeeded last time, depending on how we define success. And I havenā€™t really set a specific goal yet, other than just an improved athletic condition.

I am literally eyeballing some stuff right now, cannot quite bring myself to pull the trigger. Soon it will be too late, the choice made by my inability to decide.

He he, have done that myself a number of times throughout this year. Things have literally come back into stock and gone again in a matter of minutes sometimes.

One last squat day before things close down. It was fine. Posterior chain still a bit cranky, but strength was not a problemā€¦weight went up, weight went down, etc., probably had a bit more available on the topset and so on. Who cares.

I see what youā€™re doing here. Setting the scene, I like it. Would you like us all to act suprised when you press a lifetime PR for a triple?

Yes please.

But no, I am off peak right now for sure. Plus I ran a bit today for like the 3rd time in 5 days, and everyone knows how this kills gains and PRs.

You might as well just buy yoga pants and turn vegan really.

Anyway, no surprises. Even a single at 85 felt like bullshit, might not have even been able to go higher than that. To punish myself a bit, I finished it off with a 60x10 for 5 sets, which I am pretty sure I never managed before. It was pretty grueling, I had to take some long rests in between sets.

    • Standing Barbell Shoulder Press (OHP)

      • 30 kg x 5 reps
      • 40 kg x 5 reps

    • Upright Barbell Row

      • 50 lb x 12 reps
      • 50 lb x 12 reps
      • 50 lb x 12 reps

So thatā€™s it for the gym. Time to lose a few kilo and become a lean, glistening mound of muscley masculinity.

What happened here?

Edit:
Oh, upright barbell row, that weird thing where you do a slow high pull. I get it if I actually read the whole thing.

2459

It isnā€™t even a proper upright row. It is kinda a mix between that and a barbell row, but with small weights and angled to hit the traps directly.

First day of lockdown workout. I donā€™t have a plan exactly, although obviously I am forced to go over to a high volume mindset, will dump a bunch of kilo (or sorta try), work on cardio and athleticism. Today mainly just pullups. Shit I have gotten out of pullup shape, what a fatass. Maybe I will try and see how I can increase reps over 15 sets over time.

    • Barbell Curl

      • 15 kg x 40 reps

Also took Bob out behind the woodshed for a few. It started out slow, but by the end of round 7 was feeling pretty good. All that cardio from last week is already paying off! Still have an issue with my left hip. Adductor, if I have to be specific. I think it is a relic from endless weeks of heavier squatting. Annoying as hell, didnā€™t make for any convincing kicks on Bobā€™s ribs, he sorta just laughed it off.

Day 2 of lockdown. No time for much else, so just a bit of floor pressing. Had to start light to get used to this very awkward shit.

Barbell Floor Press

  • 25 kg x 10 reps
  • 45 kg x 10 reps
  • 55 kg x 10 reps
  • 65 kg x 10 reps
  • 75 kg x 10 reps
  • 87 kg x 15 reps (PR)
  • 75 kg x 10 reps
  • 61 kg x 21 reps
  • 61 kg x 20 reps
  • 61 kg x 15 reps

Good news: easy PR
Bad news: that was literally all I could fit on the tiny bar
Good news: slightly longer bar on order, will be able to add a bit more
Bad news: floor presses blow

Last three were 350 style, but obviously too easy.
