Bald as a newborn. I get told rather frequently that I look like Vin Diesel.
That’s far more flattering than what I get told.
You’re a female who can do 5 pullups, nothing else matters much.
You make an excellent point.
Inexplicably sore the last few days. Day off yesterday, today was some simple upper body pulling, which is boring as shit.

Seems fairly low rep for you, can you still muscle up?
Well, I am a chunk of a man, a few kilo north of 90. I am old. My elbow fucking always hurts. And I am not really working pull-ups so much as just maintaining them.
But of course I can do a MU or two. Just not worth it at this bodyweight, the torque is unreal.
Took it easy today, my body needs a small break.

I was pressed for time today, so I….pressed for time. It’s a joke, son.
Easy warmup with the push presses, and then barely any real work with the DBs.

This from yesterday. I have been doing a lot of bonus lower body work (including two days ago which I did not record), which honestly is exposing some of my weak points.
Goblet squats are awesome, by the way. They sorta remind me of a front squat, which I think my body is better built for than back squats.

Was giving a thought to going after a double at 130 today, but warmups didn’t feel right. After last week, I should probably be going a little easy anyway.
Somehow ended up with an incline rep PR, which didn’t feel like it shoulda been a PR.

Strong work. Literally and figuratively.
How figuratively?
Like when my kid gets an A and I say “strong work”.
Head not in it today, but I guess my body was. A pretty good rep at 180.

I love a good ATG squat
Assuming the letter “G” there stands for something like “Gettingclosetoparallel”
Love it, either way that’s good squatting mate
The bulgarians from yesterday, despite being unweighted, make my posterior chain fairly sore, so I didn’t feel like overloading with push presses today, thus I kept it strict. Gentle little set of 100x3 at the top, with very minimal knee wiggle. I feel these are strict enough now that I no longer feel self-conscious about them.
Of course, a triple there saps a lot of energy, so the DB work was just okay. Good news is I no longer need a spotter to get the 42s up.

Always nice when you can get it up without a helping hand
