Weird, but impressive

That would be weird but impressive!

Yesterday’s work was just an easy pull day, because despite a day off preceding this, my body has been feeling sore and cranky lately and has asking me to go easy on it. Fine.

That said, it is a bit crazy how my lat strength has increased. I have not been doing these Iso rows since I dropped all the body weight, and yet somehow I am better at them than I was when I was 8 kilo heavier and doing them all the time. I feel like I know exactly why I am getting these strange improvements at lower BW, but I dare not say it out loud, lest I be mocked for it.

Speaking of needing Tren, today was a hilariously waste of time. Having a little nerve issue in the back/butt which showed itself during jumps today. I was also distracted by some other shit, but still, this was bad. Could barely get up on top of 48.5 and then nearly broke my leg after stubbing my tow on the last set. Fun times, do no recommend. And this is why I complain about even the tiniest little nerve issue, because it literally prevents me from be able to fire off all the needed muscle fibers for shit like this.

Still feeling old and creaky. Things sore and hurting all over. Good day for another decline day, because that doesn’t really stress my body too much.

A couple more rep PRs. Felt I might be good for 4 reps at 135, but rep number 2 got out of the groove and sapped me a bit. Not unhappy, though, because this is still another little step forward.

And today’s work on the jumps, which was not good at all. Two really bad sessions in a row on these. I have a weird little nerve issue in my lower back, and it does not hurt much, but my nerves are not firing perfectly, so trying to jump super high is shit. Like my right leg is not doing its part. Fucking lame.

Yeah, dude—totally lame.

Seriously, though, we all know what it’s like to feel off, and that much absolutely does suck.

This day was kinda medium. I did not feel very strong on the top end (probably due to calories being on the low side the last couple days), but that was fine because I did not have my spotter there. So went after a rep PR at 110, which just builds on the rep PR I set there a couple weeks ago. I want to say No Big Deal, but with this smaller version of myself it actually kind of is. Strange thing is that I am not really happy with it, kind of expect more for some reason. Hard to explain. But in any case, this is a lot of total reps at 110 and 100.

Puts my theoretical 1RM at 160, haha.

Feeling a little better with the nerve issue, and the jumps were a smidge better. But still not great. I think in part because I need to step up the reps again, which I did today. Definitely not spectacular, but good work nonetheless.

Felt good enough to deadlift today. Results kinda medium, the topsets were slow off the ground so I decided not to rep them.

Trying to increase general activity, so combined jumps today with some MUs and then even had a very short run at the end. It all felt pretty good today, even if my little nerve issue persists.

Underfed and in need of a day off, so I knew this was not going to be fabulous. Failed to double 140, but going into the session I doubted I could even manage a single, so there’s the silver lining. Everything else routine. Well, except that I am pretty happy about my capacity to rep things 100 kilo and over becoming routine.
