Weird, but impressive

Today was chest a quick session. No spotter, so figured I would try to hit a rep PR at 110. And did so. Made the backoffs tougher, but that’s the game.

Oh look, another PR. Kind of surreal, that’s twice my bodyweight, so even repping it at all is a bit crazy. Somehow this was easier than the 160x6 I did a bunch of weeks ago, but it did drain my energy for a lot of repping afterward.

Shoulder day, and I set it all up to give me a shot at getting a rep PR on the 40s. I was getting tired of being stuck on 12 reps. That said, I would not have guessed I could manage 15 reps, fairly absurd. The 40s are getting pretty trivial, at least once I get them up and going.

Jumps were…off…today. Didn’t feel explodey.

I don’t use them but it certainly would make pressing a little easier

I would love to try them, but can’t help but wonder if they get in the way during the movement? You need to demo them for me.

Do it with the heaviest DBs in the gym, and be sure to film it.

Very pedestrian day today on the deads. Tired and weak for no reason at all, could barely get 200 off the ground, and my hammies were acting up a little. Oh well, will bounce back.

Chest day. This was the one lift that I wasn’t really threatening any good PRs until the last week or two, so it was inevitable that I would hit a heavier PR today if I went after it. I felt great, and the reps felt pretty good as well. It is possible that I have doubled 120 once in the past (really unsure), but not as good as this time for sure, so I am just going to call it a PR.

Oh, and I did jumps again today to make up for the cruddy day on Monday. And set a new PR at 46 inches. That is two of the fat 20 kilo bumper plates stacked on top of the two boxes, and yes, it is absolutely terrifying to behold, and every scarier to think about. Full disclosure: At these heights I take a gentle walking approach before the jump, so it is a little bit cheaty.

Back around to shoulder work. My bodyweight is down a bit too much and energy is low, so expectations are also low. Lately I am just treating the standing OHP as a warmup and focusing on the DBs instead. Need a spot to get the 42s up, and the reps were tough today. Pretty happy that I can do them at all.

Did not feel like a good day today, but I guess it actually was since I was tying my PRs and stuff. Was more willpower than strength, I think.

It is a little misleading, because the Iso rows are one-handed, so I record for each hand.
