Wednesday 11/11/2020

Strength
Inner Range DB Press- 6 x 15, 10 x 15, 15

Incline Bench- bar x 10, 40 x 5, 50 x 5, 60 x 5, 70 x 4, 4, 4, 4

Deficit Push Ups- x 7

Range of Strength Sprint- Side Split- did these between sets of bench
1.a) HORSE STANCE 5x5- 4 sec hold on each rep
1.b) SIDE SPLIT PUSHUPS 5x5- 4 sec hold at top of each rep.
1.c) PANCAKE QL COMBO – 4s hold in each position
1.d) INTERNAL ROTATION HOLD- 4s hold each leg

I'm rebuilding my bench press. Used a wide grip (index finger on outer ring), flared the elbows a bit and tried to lessen my arch which is normally way too big. Really trying to focus on my non existent pecs. Was obviously weaker but felt pretty solid during the reps and had no shoulder strain from the wider, flared grip. Going to keep the reps high and add in lots more chest work in the next could of months to really bring up this lagging area. Should work well as I'm not going heavy with legs as I focus on my flexibility.

Strength

Deadmill x 2mins

Poliquin Step Up- bw x 10, 20 x 10, 40 x 10, 60 x 10, 80 x 10, 95 x 10

Split Squat- bw x 5, 20 x 5, 30 x 5

Jefferson Curl- 6 x 5, 20 x 5, 30 x 5

L-sit- 5 x max holds (next time back to working on these from the floor- will suck so much more)

Weighted Tib Raise- 2 x 20 @ 6kg

Range of Strength Sprint- Head 2 Toe (these hurt so much haha)
1.a) ROS JEFFERSON CURL 5x3- 4 sec hold each rep.
1.b) DONKEY CALF RAISE 5x10
1.c) HEAD 2 TOE 5x10s hold then 10 pulses

Deadmill x 5 mins

I believe I've rediscovered my holy grail. The reverse deadmill. The knee pump is insane from this and my knees felt so good afterwards. I used to do this every day and I believe it was a big factor in my knee health. Going to do the same now.

Session took just over an hour but I faded on the split squats. Not sure if because multiple times this week. Not to worry.

Friday is my bogey day. 7am to 7pm for work but missed my training session again.

Saturday 14/11/2020

AM
2 hours of Hapkido in the park again. Really enjoyable session.

PM

Flat Bench- bar x 10, 30 x 10, 40 x 10, 50 x 10, 8, 8

Range of Strength Sprint- Front Splits

1.b) LONG LUNGE PULSE- 5x10- 4 sec hold on each rep

Caught this video last night which was fortuitious after me wanting to rebuild my bench for more pec activation. Tried it out today and was pure gold. Pecs were on fire. First time ever. Also first time ever benching without an arch which is pretty sad that it's taken me so long to get here. Oh well.

Did not train

Wednesday 18/11/2020

Bodyweight- 95.4
Waist- 36.4"

Lowest weight and waist measurements since July-ish. I'm getting back into that golden territory now where I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Strength
Reverse Deadmill x 2 mins

Poliquin Step Up- top set of 10 @ 95 (100% of bodyweight)- Now to move onto Peterson Step Ups

Back Squat- EMOM 5x5 (going to add 5 kg each week till I fail then drop reps)
bar, 40, 60, 80, 100

ATG Split Squat- EMOM 3x5
bw, 20, 40

Seated Good Morning- EMOM 3x5
20, 40, 60- some shallow reps on the 60 set. Will repeat that weight next time

Range of Strength Sprint- Head 2 Toe (these still hurt so much and I need to stretch my calves beforehand)- only got through 3 rounds
1.a) ROS JEFFERSON CURL 5x3- 4 sec hold each rep.
1.b) DONKEY CALF RAISE 5x10
1.c) HEAD 2 TOE 5x10s hold then 10 pulses


After watching CoolColJ squatting yesterday I remembered my end of year goal. I also just miss lifting heavy(ish). Going to add back in the big 3 for the rest of the year and use the ATG and ROS (Range of Strength) stuff as accessories or off day work. Thinking- Squat, Bench, Deadlift, Rest/Run/Whatever, Squat, Bench, Rest/Run/Whatever. Not sure I'll hit 150 back squat by Christmas but I'll give it a good run.

Thursday 19/11/2020

Strength

Deadlifts- 1 min rest between sets
20 x 10, 60 x 5, 80 x 5, 100 x 5, 120 x 5, 130 x 5 (top set was mixed grip and pretty easy)

Nordic- 5 x 5- worked down to last set using 3" of elevation under hips. Flat bench coming soon

Jefferson Curl- 20 x 5, 30 x 5, 40 x 5 - these felt great. Need to get to 50% x bw for the Range cert so I'm not far off.


Done. Legs were trashed after the squats and squats yesterday. BB squats followed by ATG split squats produced an incredible amount of soreness in my hammies and adductors.

Wednesday 25/11/2020

Strength

Deadlift
bar x 10, 60 x 5, 80 x 5, 100 x 5, 120 x 5, 140 x 5

Jefferson Curl- 5s pause at bottom of each rep
6kg x 5, 20 x 5, 30 x 5

Slow DB Hammer Curl
3 x 10 @ 10kg

Range of Strength Sprint- Front Splits- only got through 3 rounds
1.a) 1/4 ATG SPLIT SQUAT- 4 1/4 reps equals one rep. Complete 5 each leg.
1.b) LONG LUNGE PULSE- 5x10- 4 sec hold on each rep
1.c) HERO POSE- 5x10s

2. FRONT SPLIT CHECK-IN- 1x60s/side

Front split keeps getting closer and closer. Both are stopped by my hip flexors though. Especially my right one which is tight AF. Might throw in some extra work just for those with this stretch. It's an absolute prick of a stretch and is super painful at the lower levels but it works incredibly well.

Haha thanks mate. I'm so close to flat bagging it I can't wait. I probably want that more than a 150kg squat before the end of the year.

Friday 27/11/2020

Bodyweight- 94.9- lightest I've been since March this year. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel lol. Only another 5-7kgs to go  :o Waist is down to 35.6" too which isn't far off where I need it to be. Ideally I'm at 34" and then I can build back up from there. I still think I need to be a leanish (12%) 100kg. Not sure I'll get there but I'm going to lean bulk as soon as I get to that 34" waist.

I'm also going back to the splits and squats program on Monday too. As much as I've enjoyed the freedom of doing whatever I want the last few weeks that's also the problem. I squatted 140 off the back of this program a few months back and am going to see where it gets me over the next few months. I will need to add an extra upper body session or two in but that's fine too. The best part is I need to test my 1RM today in preparation  :headbang:
