Notes

Despite my jeans-related complaints in the past, I kind of feel like my quads might be lacking slightly compared to rest of legs, so may add a little more volume for them here on Wednesdays, recovery permitting.

Surprising lack of soreness from yesterday's run.

Bringing back chins. Surprised how strong I am on them still given I've not trained them for ages, near PR territory. Guess building muscle works. Rows were just getting too exhausting and felt a little unproductive given how much effort went into just holding the position (doing them with like 70% of my RDL load, cost of strong lats)

Run -- 4 x 4' On / 3' Off [4:52, 4:39, 4:28, 4:18 pace]

Notes

DOMS everywhere from yesterday, lol.

First running session, so chose a classic. Didn't check paces or anything while running, just going to effort. Tried to keep things moderate to start and then moved towards a 5k-ish effort as the workout progressed. Felt v nice to be so in control rather than jsut trying to hammer things. Maturity, eh?

Hip flexors dead after the last rep/during the cooldown jog. Not too surprised as they get hit pretty hard with nordics

Decent session. Week off was nice. Went for a few runs, did two very light lifting workouts, was a lot looser with diet etc. Good to be back, rested, and locked in.

taking a few days [maybe whole week?] off hard lifting. Only missed two lifting sessions since mid-June, and that was a deliberate rest 7 weeks ago. Also only had like a handful of days since then when I didn't either lift, do bjj, run or cycle. So yeah due a good rest lol. Might do some light lifting and a couple of jogs b/c I do love exercise, but aim is for nothing overly tiring. See you in a week!

Been bloated/weird-feelling last few days. This run wasn't too great either, tho mostly down to being super humid today I think.

Notes

30 min version of this workout fit in the middle of a busy day. So annoying to lose a rep on CGBP, almost certain that's the first rep I've lost on any movement in months. Understandable given situation of the workout, but this one lift is giving me grief when everything else is going swimmingly.

Notes

That's the top weight this low row machine goes too. Only 6 reps, so plenty of room to grow, but fun to max something out.

Weight randomly spiked last couple of days. Realised I accidentally bought (a) salted peanut butter and (b) a brand of cereal with more salt than usual. Given quantity of those things that I am consuming lately, I guess I have the culprit. [and dw, i get my vegetables, omega 3s etc in abundance too, it's not just trash in my diet]

Switching from stationary bike to running has me needing like 3300 kcal. Replaed my oat-based meal to a huge bowl of cornflakes (lowest fibre cereal) topped with peanut butter.

Notes

Bench progressing so slowly, though it is progressing. Maybe hampered slightly by doing it day after the massive Friday workouts. That said, it has always progressed slowly for me, which I find out since all the other pressing/fly/tri movements I'm doing are going up nicely. The ambitious goal for the gaining phase is 100x10 close-grip bench.

Noticed I feel right side of neck more than left so adding in lateral work to balance that out.
