Months behind on the log. Still making a go of it.

Definitely missed some days over the last bit. The great news is my body is feeling solid. Just a bit on the chubby side.

- track
-- warm up
-- 6 x [1200m @ 90-92% of 5k pace, 200m jog]
-- cool down
was supposed to be 1 minute rests but i fucked up programming the workout in my watch so ended up doing the whole thing on the fly. meant reps were more like 1220-1230m, and pace was a little quick. 90-92% of my 5k pace is 4:15-4:20/km, and reps were more like 4:10-4:14. RPE 6, though, so i wasn't over-pushing.

afternoon

- climb x 15 mins
just a few yellows and reds (easiest) to warm up. more fun than jumping rope.

- squat 205 x 5,5

- calf raise 205 x 6,6

- gettin' old circuit
only one time through, started to feel weird. i think i'm just tired. didn't sleep well last night.

- KB suitcase hold 32kg x 10s/side

ehhh that was enough today.

Run -
-- w/u
-- 3 x (1.4k @ 4:08, 0.6k @ 4:55)
-- c/d

Total - 9.5k, 47:17

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

Note

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.

Gym work 62

Bird dogs: 10
Dead bugs: 10
Ab wheel rollouts: DND
----------------------
Dumbbell BSS (each leg):

bodyweight x 8
65x8 (32.5 kg dumbbells) all time :personal-record:
65x8
65x20s split squat holds

Chinups (with a 5 kg chain around my neck):

3 reps x 9 sets

Landmines (push press + deadlift):

bar x 10
bar+20 x 10

Seated calf raises (slow tempo):

10x10
20x10
20x10

Front plank:

1 min

Bodyweight: 91.1 kg (same weight)
Exhaustion level: 9.5/10
Rating: Good

Comments:

First time doing the BSS with 32.5 kg dumbbells, could've done 10 each set but the problem is that I get very tired doing them. Chinups were so-so, but first time doing them with a 5 kg chain, so not going to complain, especially coming after those heavy BSSs.
