I am pretty sure this sure this one chick at Uni had some Bulgarian in her. She was pretty heavy.

And today’s work, some jumps alternating with pullups. Twas fine. Lower back is still a bit of an issue, but it did not cause any trouble today. I am half wondering if it isn’t just a bunch of spinal compression from landing so many high jumps, so I am trying to work on softening the landing.

Just kinda fucking around today. Back problem is persisting, and it is making my sciatica nerve act up, which gives me fun memories of the past. Trying to manage it, we will see.

Either that leg press is insanely easy or your capacity to train volume is off the chart. No way I am doing 11 sets of leg press and I like to trash my legs more than most.

Yeah, there are two leg press machines sitting next to each other, and this is the easier one. Probably 10 or 15% easier than the other one, so you can subtract that in your mental calculations if it makes you feel better. I thought the volume was a bit disappointing, I will try to do better next time mate.

Exceptionally average day. I seem to be stuck here at 140 in that I can single it without too much trouble, but it is a coin toss if I can double it or not. Today, I could not. 110 was okay, 100 was better.

Back is starting to improve. Doing some jumps, but taking it easy on the reps because it is clear that landing so many jumps is exasperating the issue by compressing my spine.
@simo74 this time I used the hard leg press machine just as a test. I did the exact same workout as three days ago. It was as I said, a bit harder. Not really apples to apples, because I jumped first. But whatever, I like the easy one better due to the angle and foot plate.

Bit of a weird one, thought I was going to struggle after the warmups, but then ultimately end up with more than 60 total reps…which I believe is the most I ever managed in a session. Usually just getting to 50 is a chore.

Just a whatever day with this and that. Kind of like that I can in consecutive days to pullups, MUs and then some very heavy Iso pulls and feel zero wear and tear from it. Ab rolls a bad idea at the moment, kinda made the back pain flare.

Very rough day yesterday, in large part due to poor sleep (although I will say my sleep in general is much improved the last few months). Also woke-up at 77.5 kilo, which is the lowest in a long, long time. So the deck was stacked against me. Top end was okay, reps felt like they weighed a trillion pounds.
Upped the volume and weight of the leg presses, but then ran out of time.

If we are being partly serious, and sometimes we should be…how do we rate how “hard” a workout is? Relative to myself, the below workout was a breeze, even though I am sitting here with jet lag (I am back from my trip) and have not done shit for two weeks. Relative to other people, it is an impossible workout. All bullshit aside, I sometimes think I am not working hard enough. Am I just working smarter? I honestly do not know.
Also found out that two weeks did nothing to fix my shoulder…but on the other hand, I can still do handstand pushups with only a 5 on the pain scale, so maybe that will be my thing for a while.
