Myself and all my colleagues have had the same for over a year. A couple of them have actually had to use it as well.

We had this system in place for a while down in Australia too. Lock downs, curfew, maximum 5km from home and permits to work. hmmm maybe there are Germans infiltrating the Victorian government.

Day Things and Stuff
Ran yesterday. Went a little longer than the regular loop to catch things back up, as I only ran once last week.
Today is pulling and core. I donāt feel yet like I am able to take advantage of the lower bodyweight yet with the pull-ups, I burn out too quickly. And yet, screw that, I forced the issue a bit anyway. I donāt mind admitting that some of the last reps on the last sets made my soul want to leave my body.

Off day today, which means I performed the ancient art of Jeet Kune Do on an unsuspecting Bob. Trying to make do more active rest, maybe just one day a week of zero activity. Still feel like I am more slovenly than average.

Day No Idea
Boobies today. It all felt heavy, probably because I am weak. I supersetting the whole thing with rearranging my living room.

Day Light at the End of the Tunnel
Saturday was a planned off day. Sunday was a running day. Monday was an unplanned off day, was supposed to do shoulders but ran out of time. So had a bit extra oomph today and decided to just do a buttload of HSPU reps until I couldnāt really any longer. At some point I had to just stop, because it was getting stupid. Pretty sure 175 is the most I have done in a session, and I coulda kept going. A funny place of being simultaneously weak as shit but being able to take advantage of the low bodyweight that comes with it.

In much more interesting news, the damn gyms are finally opening up on the 6th. Just have to have a Corona Passport, which I am fine with. Easy enough to get frequent testingā¦read the news last night, and got a test immediately this morning. Not in line for a vaccination for probably at least another month.
Will be fun to see just how much ass I suck when I get back to some real equipment!

We did the over 70s months ago here, are you guys behind?

The honest answer to your question is āyesā.
I guess they have also now permanently rejected the J&J vaccine here, so that will add a week or two for all groups.

Had a Bob day yesterday, and removed all of the rest of my crappy equipment from my living room and stored away. So will be back at the gym today. Short term I will probably spend then next week or so trying to get back in the swing of things, so it will probably be a little bit of everything.
Longer term? Not sure. Going to keep my weight down. Donāt really have a plan. Might have to go 531 upper body and something else for lower body.

Alright, so. First day back was pretty bad. I have to remind myself that I did all this (dropping weight) on purpose, plus 5 months away from real equipment is going to cost a certain toll. But man, my ego is yelling at me. Whole idea here was just to do some very easy squatting and deads for very few repsā¦which by the numbers I accomplished. But holy shit it was heavy. Even a few MUs were harder than I thought they would be, but that will likely be solved with a bit of practice because pulling with speed is a different animal.

Did some bro curls as well. Even this light ass crap has my lower back aching a little bit. But hey, I was planning to de-emphasize these movements anyway, so letās see what happens. Will go in today to test some chest movements, I expect that also to be a shitshow, but hopefully to a lesser degree.
Gonna have to think of a new log title as well, thatāll keep me busy all day.

Was that a world record for hspu done in a session?

I doubt it. Well, unless nobody else is dumb enough to even do something like that.
Well after 5 months āoffā thatās no wonderā¦ But it will come fast and youāll be pulling 200+ soon enough

My real plan would probably be to resist the temptation to try to work up to pulling 200 again. I just donāt think I need to be doing that any more. My ego says otherwise, though, so that is a problem.

A bit of a shitshow today, but not so terrible in relative terms. Feels like I can improve here fairly easily once the nervous system is back in the swing and I get some rebound gains.

I think my basic plan here now is to officially end the weight loss. I weighed in at 74 kilo today, which is like 14.5 kilo lost in total over 5 months. Thatās more than I wanted to lose, but was trying to shed more fat at the end. So I will probably add back 2 or 3 kilo and try to keep up the decent conditioning. Build back upper body strength and general athleticism. Donāt care about the lower body stuff (so I tell myself) except to get it at basic minimum.

Errrā¦that seem a bit off, but sure, letās go with that.
A mixed pulling day today. All things considered, pretty okay. Only lost a bit off the top end, feels like. Did some bro curls as well.

Ran for 10 minutes on the dreadmill as well. In comparison to running on concrete it is like running on a bunch of fluffy clouds.
