Bodyweight@session : ~85kg , whaaaat?
Soreness : none
Injuries/aches : none

HANG POWER CLEAN:
8@20kg
5@40kg
3@50kg
3@60kg
0@70kg
0@70kg
3@65kg , ties 3RM  :personal-record:
-Didn't feel like attempting 1RM PR.

ATG SQUAT:
10@BW ( extra set )
8@20kg ( -2 reps )
5@40kg
5@60kg
5@80kg
5@90kg , ties season best, ties all time  ATG 5RM :personal-record:
18@65kg ( +1 rep )
-Very good, solid AF.

PAUSED STANDING CALF RAISE MACHINE:
-Standing calf raise was broken so had to substitute those with:
PAUSED HORIZONTAL LEG PRESS CALF 'RAISES':
12@360lbs , too heavy, compromised ROM
12@300lbs , rather too easy
12@320lbs , as hard as i wanted

Too much work lately. Also was on bad sleep, low carbs and low caffeine. Considering, this workout went amazing, should be a total failure!
Target training paces (min/km), calculated from 5K PR 22:49 :
Easy run : 5:48
Tempo run : 4:50

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

7 Deember 2017

Bodyweight@session : ~85,25kg , once again low carbed/fed
Soreness : very sore legs. mostly VMOs but also hamstrings abductors, glutes, calves. PRing squats and cleans comes with a cost lol
Injuries/aches : none

HANG POWER SNATCH:
Too sore and also next day of cleans, so skipped.

RDL:
8@85kg ( +5 kg )
8@90kg
8@95kg
-Top set much less challenging than expected, should have upped.

DB LUNGES:
6 each leg @ 20kg each hand
6 each leg @ 20kg each hand
6 each leg @ 20kg each hand
-Solid.

BENCH PRESS:
10@22,5kg ( +2,5 kg )
8@42,5kg ( +2,5 kg )
5@62,5kg ( +2,5 kg )
5@67,5kg ( +2,5 kg )
5@72,5kg ( +2,5 kg ) , ties all time 5RM  :personal-record:
18@55kg ties :personal-record:
-Very very strong, PR ties everywhere and yet RPE < 9.

DEAD-HANG PULLUPS:
12@BW ( +1 rep ) , ties  :personal-record:
7@BW+5kg  ( -1 rep )
5@BW+10kg
4@BW+15kg
11@BW
-Kinda stuck, i am at limit strength. Also two last weeks i did those the same day with RDL&lunges, grip is kinda toasted by the time i get to pullups.

This is a period ( work and life wise ) that i would normally not train at all. My usual derails. And yet i am putting in at least 3 workouts a week, PRing despite stressed/tired and  on top of that i am feeling i am underachieving and slacking. That whole package is a really great progress element for me!!!

Have you thought about switching pull ups and RDL? I would think that RDL is far less challenging on both grip and pulling power than pull ups are.

Right, that is a good idea. The thing is that RDLs and pullups are not supposed to be done the same day on the first place. I just had to merge workouts due to limited time the last two weeks and that's how it happened. If it happens again ill do the pulls prior to RDLs and see what happens.

Well, it wasn't a 'PR by 3 reps'. It was a PR tie and a 3 reps improvement from last week's last set, but that last week on my first set i got 15 that set the PR. Still awesome and thanks! :D



all-time PR is surrious.  :lololol:

Thanks! Yes, it is great to finally reach some kind of squat PR again. I think i have similar weights logged but they were not true ATG, they were 'as low as i can get in the (fixed height pins ) cage'. This year every single set is done outside the cage.

that's some solid benching right there.. 5RM then finishing with some high rep burn out = solid.

Im down with the damn flu. Id be ok with it, you can expect to lose a week for a flu or sth, but the timing is bad, last week before a 10 days off. On the other hand i haven't missed/deloaded even 1 week since end of august that i started, so i guess some more rest wont hurt that much. Will try to squeeze some volume weight session before i leave, as a last minute stimulus.
