Weird, but impressive

Shoulders. For once I started with the BtNs, seems a pretty good exercise and it is nice to change things up. Also, it is hard as balls.

My elbow does not really seem to be improving no matter what I do. Still keeping the pulling very easy. Maybe this is just going to be a thing from now on.

Titties. I really should be doing all of this in the reverse order if I want to actually get better at flat benching (yuck). Felt like good work, even if it all subjectively sucked.

Back around to deadlifts, a bit more careful this time. Which was good, because shit felt heavy today. Sometimes I forget I actually have to earn it first.

Elbows feeling good enough for some pullups, but very slooooow and controlled.

Slept like shit and shoulda skipped today, but my gym said that because it was my birthday I could come down and get a free padlock. I don’t need a padlock. But it is the principle of the thing. Therefore, here are some shitty squats. Something kinda went SPROINK! In my left knee at 150, so I dialed it back after that.

  • Barbell Squat

    • 40 kg x 5 reps
    • 60 kg x 5 reps
    • 80 kg x 5 reps
    • 100 kg x 5 reps
    • 120 kg x 3 reps
    • 140 kg x 3 reps
    • 150 kg x 1 reps
    • 110 kg x 12 reps
    • 100 kg x 12 reps
  • Ab Wheel (standing)

    • 5 reps
    • 1 reps
  • Leg Press

    • 135 lb x 10 reps
    • 225 lb x 10 reps
    • 315 lb x 10 reps
    • 405 lb x 10 reps

Bit of interval running as well, to just to round off all the suck.

Is this a metaphor for something. It is a new position we haven’t heard of down here in the southern hemisphere.

Congrats on the padlock, old mate!

And happy belated birthday, I guess.

I think it’s a weird literal gift. A padlock to lock up your stuff in the locker room.

I can’t find a way to make padlock sound like something sexual, so let’s just assuming it is indeed a literal locking device for securing your clean undies while training.

You really can’t? Gotta say you’re slacking off.

If it’s slacking off maybe he needs the padlock :joy:
