That and the set of 20 afterwards were very tough. Hurting a bit today.

Sleepy tired today, so was kind of sleepwalking through the session today. Was just work, and nothing else.

Shoulders day. Whatever has been wrong with my right shoulder for almost a year now is clearly getting better, but I am going to avoid strict BB OHP for a while longer yet. In the meantime, the Handstand PUs have clearly been doing me good, my shoulders have probably never been this strong at 78 kilo. 34x10 with the DBs after destroying myself on that HSPU PR set is significant.

10 sets seems excessive, but definitely approved of adding weight, it’s almost like you want to be big and strong

Nope, I want to be small and ridiculously strong.

Very pedestrian day today, but I only care about squats to the extent that they are reinforcing my core. So whatever.

Well it’s all relative, right? Year ago I think I repped that same weight 12 times or so.

Hah!
So like I said:
Seriously, though, all that squatting is still good work.
Have been a bit lax on the MUs lately, so this was pretty okay.

Another easy day. Bodyweight is heading towards 77, and the slight calorie deficit has made recovery a bit harder, so I needed a couple easy sessions.

There’s probably an interesting conversation here about what kinds of fatigue, soreness and pain are “good” and which ones are “less than good”. Usually, when I say I am taking it easy it is because I have pains and/or concerns about things involving my tendons, ligaments, joints, and so on. As often pointed out, I tend to overdo things sometimes, and non-muscular tissues pay a price.
Nervous system is also something you can hit too hard. Muscles recover fast, but none of this other stuff does.

Turned it up a tiny bit today, but still nothing crazy. I reversed order today and did the OHP first just to confirm what I thought. My shoulders have lost no appreciable strength in spite of the injury I have been dealing with for about a year, and not doing any normal overhead work for half a year. The 38s were not much trouble at all (I weigh around 77 these days, so this is basically my bodyweight in dumbbells). I think I can do the 40s. My shoulders have never been this strong at this weight, probably not even close. There is something to learn here.

Another relatively easy day, I guess this has been something sorta like a deload week. The MUs are in relative slow motion here, but trying to make them slower and slower. I want people to become physically nauseated when they see them.

Okay, body seems good to go again. Woke up a bit below 77 this morning, which is the first time in a very long time. Strength still satisfactory.
