I still don't have a squat-rack, so i am using dip bars to lay the bar on them at knee level. I power clean it, push-press it, lower at neck, do the squats, then again a BTN push-press it and put it back on the bars. I am very happy with how i can control those 55kg now, both push pressing them and then descending them slowly on my neck.

Look into hardware store saw horses for a makeshift squat rack/safety.
It was what was considering for a while before I got my setup together
May need to raise them with some blocks if your tall

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVawDwRx3Tw" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVawDwRx3Tw</a>

or construction site trestles



TBH these cost just as much as a dirt cheap second basic squat stands

^^^^^^
It is the corporate gym and it doesn't have a rack for "general safety" reasons (yeah, if i was the boss i wouldn't want my employees doing free squats either). Not that you can't injure yourself with other lifts, but i get it. So i can't add equipment.
But this first video is a nice idea for heavier singles. It will work nice if i raise those dip bars a bit. Thanks!



Entering final week for this training block. Will be posting my first week loads too for final progress comparison.

Happy new year!  :highfive:

Almost 3 weeks totally off due to 2 weeks of Xmas holidays including getting covid during the 2nd one. I passed it very light (not even fever) but let myself without training a few more days, just in case.

Plan for next year : back to the usual stuff , 2 days/week lift + some light cardio, 1 day less lifts more cardio, 3 running days ( easy / long slow / HIIT ).
Races goals : sub-22' 5K , 45' 10K / 1:45 half.

12@53kg
12@53kg

Pretty nice, expected to be weaker after all this time.



15 January

Run 6K @ 40:37 ( 6:46 pace )

Embarrassingly bad run, the worse i can remember. I actually gassed out at around 4K and grinded the next 2K in high 7s pace.
In my defense, last run before this was 7 December and legs were ultra sore from squatting. Plus it was very humid.
But still that was a way too bad run to cope with.

Edit: I looked back to see how i did his August, after returning from  4 weeks of summer holiday no running, to compare. Here is what i found:

25 August

Easy run 7K @ 47:33 ( 6:47 pace )

As if i wasn't de-trained enough from 1 month since last run, i was also extremely sore from yesterday's squats and on top of that there was 90% humidity.
Lol absolutely horrible run, I'm surprised i even finished it.

WTF , gimme the red pill, can't handle more matrix dejavus!!!!

No running weekend, again. Mostly because it was quite social and i was too bored to squeeze a run at the few free time windows.
I am growing very annoyed from this, gotta build my discipline and consistency back up asap!
