in other news gyms are banned as of today, so im gna miss my first training session in ages

Have you still got the home gym? I'm so thankful mine is setup.

it's in the garage.. i need to pull it out but i cant be bothered .. i should have kept it in a state of repair (for a possible end of world situation) but now everything is rusted and dusty and cluttered up haha

Bench seems to have stalled pretty hard, went backwards. was set to do 6 sets of 5s with 85kg, but i would have failed it when the first set felt so hard, stopped at 3 reps. Will be setting up the home gym back up soon.

Notes:
What a shit workout .. but got it done. no cardio, was too exhausted. im completely drained by life right now. i prob shouldnt even be going to the gym with the whole covid-19 thing tbh. i was thinking train fri/sun nights when gym is quiet and fix in a sneaky workout during the week either tue or thurs depending on whichever is quieter at the gym (i'll check google). or dust off my home gym but once you've used a proper gym it's hard to go back to shitty garage gyms.. it's just too inferior.

i had somewhat of a revelation today. i had made a conscious decision to use big 25kg plates to make workouts harder (it's easier to use lots of smaller plates than less big ones) but ive never actually tried the other way around. today after finishing my normal recovery squats with the usual plate loading (red and blue), i did a rep with  2x15kgs(yellow) .. and then alternating between pairs of green and yellow. made it all up to equal the training weight of 110kg and it felt so much better than using a red and a blue. im such a fucking twat. when i did that PR with 3 reds a side, if i had just made it up with greens and yellows i bet i get 180kg easier than 170kg in all reds. lost opportunities! for prs it would be interesting to do that.

BS 6x3x110, 15x90
Jumps 5 sets of 3 reps (hit the target on the 2nd rep of the last set!)
Run - 20 mins

Notes:
The highlight today was the jumps. I haven't done any jumping in a year. And was super surprised to see how good my vertical still is. If i was to attribute it to anything, it would be the KB swings. I think the hip work is the best reason why i'm still capable of jumping, lets be both conservative and generous somehow, 30 inches? My squat is obviously not the reason considering my PR with 110kg is 20 reps and im using it for sets of 3. So i'd look elsewhere and i think it has to be the hip work. Good to know..

The run was ok, i just need to be consistent now, im thinking 60min cardio workouts per day with 20min each between rowing, bike and running.

nope no power rack setup.

I can't even roll it down my body because there is no where to roll it to after getting it to the hips! unless you can pick up bw off your hips while seated (i dont think i could right now).  ive done that at the gym when no one else was around. the pins just are too low .. :/

if im going to bench seriously i have to consider getting a 2nd gym membership just for bench day. but cant really be bothered with that! someone suggested using incline bp since my chest is pretty much untargeted by flat bench and i only end up working triceps which can be worked out well with dips etc..

but maybe i should just switch to dps and do more incline bb now im kind of stuck

Recovery BS 6x2x110
BP 6x4x85kg (failed the last set on the 4th rep though)
Dips 15x10kg, 15xBW
Conditioning - Jump rope & KB swings
Assistance - KB side bends, ab leg raises, incline bp

Notes:
BP was hard af. got pinned on the last rep of the last set (obviously). waved at one guy but he just watched me lol. another guy was in the middle of the set and came over but he wasnt strong enough to take it off my chest and i was too weak to help him. eventually he lifted one side up enough for me to crawl out. how embarrassing. i hate bench press.

That will do pig, that will do. Recomping from tmr on using fat loss supplements..

BS 6x100, 2x115, 2x112.5, 4x2x110, 13x90
BSS 12x8kg(3 sets with R leg, 2 sets with the L leg)
Row 42:30, Bike 45:00
 
Notes:
I was stupid to go from 100kg training weight up to 120kg even though i had ended the 100kg cycle with a 5x120kg, i was greedy and hurt my back twice as a result (3rd time if you include the cervical one last time). 115kg would have been better but now im paying for it being injured and dropping to 110kg. So good job there!
