Just felt like picking up the pace a bit. Not too hard, what iirc nate jenkins calls `fundamental tempo`

45 degree back ext + leg ext + chest press + chest-supported rows

Solid! I like these steady-effort-rest variations. Will try to progress this 0.1k more hard/0.1k less steady then speed up one or other of them.

First hour+ run since the foot injury, and felt totally fine! If all is well, I'll aim for another oen tomorrow + lower-body lifting. Hype.

damn, how's your head?!

thankfully fine! had a bit of a sore spot at the back (likewise hip, elbow and shoulder) but seemed to get away with it overall! Probably distributing the impact across those four places rather than hitting any one in particular...may have played a role in taking yesterday off, though.

Run -- 5.57k, 41:45

Dips + chins

Notes

genuinely thought i was running like 6:30 pace but was apparently 1min/k slower than that. Think this was natural adjustment to amount of ice on the ground. Having got through the run unscathed, I took a pretty heavy fall walking to work. Was a full on pratfall on black ice, fell back, smacked hip, shouulder, elbow and back of head. Shrugged it off + didn't feel like I took much damage at the time, but this evening I'm a bit achy.

Foot still feeling okay! Little sore today, but not surprised given yesterday had calf raises + the run was in Altras

Lift --
Chins + Dips drop set

Notes

Decent. Keeping the 'workout' days pretty light until I'm more confident in foot. No need to rush anything. In the spirit of that, do my leg lifting tmrw, since I will try for a longer run if my foot is up fort it and don't want to go into that with wobbly legs

Updates?

just so lazy to update my workouts. i have them on my phone though. i need to do a lot of copy/pasting and editing

been sick the last few days so strength no doubt dropped

loving training until failure for a single set. the workouts feel amazing. i stimulated the muscle without beating myself up, so i leave the gym still energized and feeling accomplished

now what i like to do though is fail 3x in a row. So I may DB bench a big dropset of 40kgx3, then 30kgx4, 20kgx4  (failing an additional rep after those) for example. That's 11 reps total yet definitely also stimulated strength gains with the very low reps, and size gains via going to failure 3x in a row on an 11 rep set (14 reps if you count failed reps).

i'm loving this way of training and i wonder how it could have worked out 10-15 years ago in my training career.

the other amazing thing is these style workouts lead to gains even if i only lift 1x per week or every 2 weeks. It used to be the case that I would lose some strength very fast if I missed a couple of workouts

this is exactly how i've been doing my lifting lately as well! fun, fast, efficient, and at the very least you can maintain  with a pretty load time input!
