  • Pull. Fairly light session, feat some Jefferson curls.
  • HIIT Class. Getting back in the groove.

Amazing how fast the body re-adapts.  Two weeks ago 7 ugly burpees in 45s killed me, today knocked out 10 in cruise mode and 12 in the last circuit.  I have [absolutely] no ambition to get back to old 96 in 7 minutes PR though...

  • Push. Adding a bit of variety in the sessions by varying the weight to target different ends of the 6-12 rep range I have been set. Worked hard... had trouble holding my Americano steady afterwards..

Not a push exercise at all, but have been throwing in some face pulls on both upper sessions, and am really liking them. I originally did them with pronated/overhand grip, but actually prefer the supinated/underhand version.

  • Pull. Jefferson curls 3x10x45kg feat. Overall solid.

No problem with JC's today but feel would be better to do some t-spine etc mobs and use straps next time...

Thu EDIT.  I didnt get to the yoga class because on the way there I managed to crash the car... first time in 30+ years of driving.  Only metal and ego were damaged.  Not ideal as I'd agreed to sell the car on Wednesday as a trade-in on a new car!  As far as I can see it's just the bumper that is trashed. I pulled out of a gnarly t-junction to make a gap a smidgen too soon and raked the back half of the side panel of the passing car with my front bumper. Duh.

I feel your pain, man! On the plus side, you were not hurt.

Absolutely. Thanks for the commiserations.  Seems the damage is pretty slight, the garage will just repair it under my insurance when I trade it in.  So it is good for the next week until then, I found a way to unmangle the number plate, make it legible again, and reaffix it.  Some gaffer tape was put to good use too.

Sat - Gym

  • Pull.  Did some 10cm deficit DL 3x10x80kg, these seem like a good variation, and the deficit added a lot of intensity for a relatively low weight.

Sun - Gym

  • Indoor 80' then some extra leg extensions, curls, press and standing calves.  Playing with some ST calf stretches altnerating the calf weight sets with good results.

  • Legs.  A bit of a hurry so did pause squat at 60kg... after leg extensions and curls.  Worked nicely.

Now in the UK for a week, so going to do a de-load. Timing is good being 6-7 weeks into current routine.

  • Push.  Solid.

Coming back from longest down time for a few years. Strength was solid.  Really got the sense my shoulder joints benefited from the rest.

  • Leg. Solid. Decided to do 10x3 pause squats again.  Seems to fit the routine more nicely than heavier regular tempo.

The rest seems to have allowed my right QL to settle down a bit more. Lets see over the coming days.

  • Row 2k. 7'40. Tweaked my wrist somehow?!
  • Back. No DL today. 
  • HIIT Class. 30'.  The bodyline stuff killed me for some reason.

Definitely back in the saddle.  Will run another cycle until mid June when I have another trip and will deload again.

You know, that's a great idea. I should just book trips every few months. "Forced" deloads B)

Hehe... sounds like a plan!

Tue- Gym

  • Push. Sort of...

Most frustrating day at this gym in the six months since I joined. The guy who does DB presses with his feet on the racks was doing his 25 sets on the cable machine I wanted to use, I've never seen him do legs.  My wrist was sore, I have a mild cold. I got there late and rushed. Otherwise perfect. Meh.

  • Legs.  Did barbell lunges instead of squats. Worked the higher end of the rep range with slightly lower load.

Had quite a lot of DOMs.  Taped wrist up and dug out a wrap, hope it doesnt screw up my golf swing for Friday's planned outing. I worked out my swing problems were due to a grip of death on the club.  How is it actually possible to forget that one has such proclivities? This seems to happen about every 2 years... I rediscover the same fault.

That made me laugh—it seems we all can do this!
