Bodyweight: 90.8 kg (+0.1 kg)
Exhaustion level: 10/10

Comments:

Surprisingly good bench press (relatively speaking). Will use 57.5 kg the next time. Squats were tiring but the weight was light, the limiting factor is work capacity. The landmine deadlifts were good but from 30kg+ my grip starts failing.

Track work 4:

Dynamic warm up barefoot
------------
3x30m sprints (10m acceleration, 10m maintain speed, 10m acceleration)
Rudiment hops (forward, backwards and laterally) x 20m

Comments: Will use the 4.85s time for 30m as a benchmark for the future.

Dynamic warm up
2x20m gradual build-up
--------------------------

--------------------------
Static stretching

Bodyweight: 91.1kg

Comments: The short distance sprints felt all effort but they look pretty slow on camera. It was cold outside so I used long pants which kind of slow me down. Depth jumps were pretty good, even if not too high.

Tired from non-stop track+gym. Still, was able to do the squats pretty good, considering they were high bar. Bench was weak, as usual.

Comments:

Had to rush a bit. Very weak in the bench press, last time (a few months ago) I was doing 60x9. The landmine deadlifts were very good and so were the pulls. Any pushing is very difficult for me and any pulling is easy.

Bodyweight: 90.0 kg (-0.5 kg)

Comments:

Felt weak and tired. Bench pressing was very difficult, squats were hard. Some neck pain due to the barbell, used some padding.

I did two gym workouts consisting of a variety of landmine, deadlift, dumbbell split squats and rows, just to see how my neck/back does. It's so-so. I will also try to get to the track the next week.
