Fantastic!
My man, thanks for your diligent follows and likes.
That is one hell of a set. Hat’s off to you!
Today not an optimal day for pressing and push pressing, not really recovered from the last two days. But not much choice, because I am forced to skip the next two days. Didn’t have enough pop in my legs today to do anything special, but 100 for 3 was solid.
On the other hand, the DBs feel very light to me these days. 40 for 12 ties my PR. My theoretical 1rm is 58 kilo DBs, lol.

Bloody good work mate. Serious that is great squatting for anyone but especially good for a pensioner.
Bit of a weird one today. Pulled 200 off the floor without problem, so went after 210. Couldn’t quite get me grip settled with the straps, and couldn’t even budge it off the floor. Oh well. Went on to destroy 140 for reps, that is a tie of a rep PR I believe.

Filthy. I love it
A fairly vanilla day. Feel like I should be able to do more on the topset. On the other hand, the backoffs are going great.

If I had known that turning 50 would mean a bunch of crazy PRs, I would have done it years ago. I really felt unfocused and pre-occupied today, but then smashed 170 a bunch of times. I think that must be a rep PR, I think I did 3 a few weeks ago but honestly I am struggling to keep track. Weird stuff. Pretty sure I can widowmaker 120 if I want to, but doing that after the topset today was a bridge too far.

On we roll. Press stuff was kinda meh…wanted to either double 110 or hit 90 for 10 and managed neither. Was super close on 110, but the failure left me weak.
And then I set like 3 PRs on the box jumps

Fully went into the deadlift session today planning to go a bit easy. Right. I made up for last weeks dumb failure at 210, and then set a rep PR at 160 instead.

Walked up the incline
Actual work for today was chest. For some reason my chest and shoulders have been very slow to recover this week, so I feel tired, sore and weak. Also no spotter, so no heroics on the topset. I bumped up the backoff sets yet again, but honestly this was a bit too hard. Or at least it was this week, I will probably repeat it next week for a fairer assessment.

Absolutely dragging ass today, just didn’t feel like it. Too much on my mind, not enough sleep, too much beer. Still hit 2 rep PRs (er…3 I guess), but whatever. I felt like that since I said last week I could widowmaker 120 that I should probably prove it, lest you bitches call me on it. Wasn’t a big deal, had a couple more in the tank for sure.

Hit the bag a bit at the end.
Shoulder day. Focus slowly shifting over to the DBs. I hit 40x12 again, need to figure out how to make some kind of incremental gain from there, but moving up to the 42s literally is insane.
Another PR on the box.

Still pressing the world away I see. Nice
Plodding onwards. Slept poorly, nearly skipped today. Wasn’t even sure I could pull 200 off the floor today…and then I tripled it. Not even sure I have ever doubled it before, so that is a rep PR. Got some good MUs in as well, things are feeling easy at the moment.

Bit of work on the heavy bag, and then a short, fast walk up the incline
Yesterday’s work was some boobies. Suddenly, 115 felt pretty light, I think this ties my rep PR. The backoffs more or less confirmed I am going to heavy with them, the reps at 105 were shitty.

And then today was squats. Not super happy…175 was okay, but I chickened out a little on 180 and did not go deep enough. Decided to forego repping, because I wasn’t really feeling it, so just went to the leg press instead…little PR there, but it was low hanging fruit.
