Meh. Lower back a little stiff from the deads yesterday, so decided to skip the standing OHP. So of course I had enough power to put the 40 kilo dbs up, right? Not right. This annoys me more than it probably should, especially because it is just my dumb left side lacking about 2% more strength. So that is a failure two weeks in a row, and I probably cannot live with that. Just not sure yet how I want to go about solving it.

What’s with all this running and jumping you’ve been doing? Are you going to go and get irritatingly good at that too?

He will, but he will also tell us how tired he feel and how broken he is before he smashes a PR. LOL

The “running” is just like 5 to 7 minutes at a slow pace a couple times a week. Literally the opposite of trying to accomplish something, just want to maintain some small level of cardio ability.

The jumping I literally just re-started. I am going skiing (for a whole week) in a couple months for the first time in 25 years, so I a looking at things to help build those muscles up so that it doesn’t turn into a complete disaster.

And yes, I am feeling old and tired and broken. Now it is a hip acting up, but I think it is the extra exertion on my deads the last month or so.

Hip still bugging me a little, but not a disaster. On the other hand, there was some old lady (i.e. my age or so) doing kettlebell swings in the last rack with safeties, so I did not go all out.

Meh. The decline was actually busy for once, so I only did inclines today. It was…not good. I have not been giving them full attention lately, but I did not like how tough the backoff sets were. I could only barely do 10 reps at 90, which is ridiculous. No like. Maybe this is also what is screwing with my DB overheads. Not good enough, will fix.

Did my little once-a-week mess around day, which I kind of like for once in my life.

  • Lat Pulldown Machine (actually a Vertical Traction machine)

    • 30 kg x 10 reps
    • 35 kg x 10 reps
    • 40 kg x 10 reps
    • 45 kg x 10 reps
    • 50 kg x 10 reps
    • 55 kg x 10 reps
    • 60 kg x 10 reps
    • 65 kg x 10 reps
    • 70 kg x 10 reps
    • 75 kg x 10 reps (PR)

  • Hanging Knee Raise

    • 20 reps
    • 20 reps
    • 20 reps
    • 20 reps

  • Machine Ab Crunch

    • 30 kg x 10 reps
    • 35 kg x 10 reps
    • 40 kg x 10 reps
    • 45 kg x 10 reps
    • 50 kg x 10 reps
    • 60 kg x 10 reps

  • Preacher Curl

    • 45 lb x 8 reps
    • 55 lb x 8 reps
    • 65 lb x 8 reps
    • 65 lb x 8 reps
    • 65 lb x 8 reps
    • 35 lb x 30 reps

  • Box Jumps

    • 8 jumps | 24 in
    • 5 jumps | 30 in
    • 5 jumps | 33 in
    • 5 jumps | 36 in
    • 5 jumps | 40 in
    • 5 jumps | 40 in
    • 5 jumps | 40 in (PR)
    • 1 jumps | 40 in
    • 10 jumps | 30 in
    • 10 jumps | 30 in

Found that putting plates on the box is relatively easy/stabile so I could do some increments over 30 inches. 40 inches is not that much of a problem, either (two boxes stacked on their sides), but the thought of putting a two inch plate on top of that makes me nervous. The idea of failing a jump and making the whole thing collapse does not sound appealing, but I will probably have to work something out if I want to progress.

I didn’t realise we could record lat pull down PR’s. I am doing this all wrong. LOL

Well I know how much you love coming here for the PRs, so I am going to have to dig down deep and start doing a bunch of shit I have never done before so I can get some automatic PRs. Next up: I am going to that thing where people get on their knees and pull the cable behind their necks and lean forward for reps, as if they are getting into shape to pleasure their boyfriends.

In other news, my right hip is once again irritated from the deads. Could be that I will stop with the sumo for the next session (which I do on the topsets) and go 100% conventional. If that doesn’t work, well, then I will just find another exercise.

Bit of a mixed result today. Failed a standing OHP at 100, although I probably coulda just cheated a tiny bit more and got it up. Used a spotter to get the 40 kilo DBs overhead, after which point pressing them was no big deal. Even so, something is…off. Considering adding more calories, but would have to be paired with more action.

Slept like crap and not feeling very confident, but somehow had a really good leg day anyway. 160 for 3 might be a rep PR? Definitely never done more than that.

    • 60 kg x 5 reps
    • 80 kg x 3 reps
    • 100 kg x 3 reps
    • 120 kg x 2 reps

    • 235 lb x 5 reps
    • 285 lb x 5 reps
    • 325 lb x 5 reps
    • 375 lb x 5 reps
    • 415 lb x 5 reps
    • 465 lb x 8 reps (PR)
    • 235 lb x 30 reps (rep PR?)

  • Ab Wheel (standing)

    • 12 reps

Anyway, no idea where that came from. Ran for intervals at the end, increasing to a sprint at the end.
