BP 2x93, 2x95.5, 2x96.5, 4x2x95
DB BP 3x8x35
Dips 3x8x17.5 @ 99.8kg

Notes:
BP felt v. difficult, i erred with that warmup set of 93, it should be 90 but i didn't want to start off the session by being conservative, in hindsight, that's exactly what you want for a good warmup. so next time warmup with a 90kg double and then go for broke for the 6 doubles, im thinking progress by 0.5kg. Nothing crazy, just steady progress would be nice.

Run - 6.5km

Notes:
Yesterday's DLs gave me some wonderful doms in the upper back, tarps, mid back, etc. Great bang for buck exercise. I had made the conscious decision to  drop the cable exercises cos they were beating up my R bicep  (i think tendon?)  too much and it's  cost me the ability to  do  chinups etc regularly, which i've almost stopped doing since my R bicep took such a beating from machine work.

Ive settled into a good grove with  running now - once a week is the sweet spot, ive replaced the second run with a sprint session - did hill sprints (didnt log them though).  that will give better bang for buck than just two running sessions, plus i enjoy the variety which keeps things more fun and fresh.

Notes:
Wow doing depth jumps instantly retaught my CNS  how to organise properly  for jumping.  Normally i would feel sluggish into the jump and not setup properly  for the plant / landing ..   felt more natural with the potentiating. Maybe this is how i recover my normal jump?  I am still  struggling to touch 32" though, which is no doubt because of being overweight. but  depth jumps give me hope for now.

So  for heavy singles,  just go from  unrack into the rep without moving  back. For reps, step back first.

Dips 8*x20, 8x15, 8x15

Notes:
Damn ..that was a hot and cold workout. had good elements, the starred bench set is cos i put hte bar back after 2 reps b/c i could swear i must have misloaded the L side since it felt so heavy. but i hadnt, so i jumped back and did a 3rd rep but it doesn't technically count as a triple. My bench is a shitdown as usual. will go for 6 triples next week.

didnt do db or dips last week because of the lockdown (closed gyms) so was a bit of a feeling wortkout to see where im at, next week will do 3x8x35 on db bp and 3x8x17.5kg on dips. Then resume normal progression from there.

170 from the floor? Well done mate. I can see 200 coming soon.

yep! from the floor, i stopped doing rack pulls a while ago .. but im glad i started with them because they taught my body to do them right. i still had a learning curve from the floor, mainly because i didnt have the strength to break the bar off the floor correctly unless it was v.light, but a couple of sessions later im happy with them. i love it! fav exercise right now

Notes:
Switched to a higher rack instead of hang cleaning my ohp. Just because I want to do heavy singles and it won't really count if i hang clean them. And wow it was so much harder. Also mask kills it. So over it, 14th cant come soon enough hah.

Notes:
Gyms opened this evening .. got in and it was pretty full for a friday night, usually it would just be me. Everyone wearing masks. Turns out lifting with a mask is also challenging, i couldn't take a full breath easily without sucking the mask into my mouth. which cost me abdominal tightness. There was no way i was getting 6x6x120kg today - so just did some heavy doubles with the goal of starting a new training cycle at 125kg.

Notes:
Bench at home is way different. I used my crossfit shoes for bench, felt okay. not sure if it's better or worse than dowins, will use them at the gym next time. i can probably use them to spare wearing out dowins at least on bench days. maybe even ohp days?

Run 5.5km

Notes:
Wore Adidas. Running with a mask is v. hard .. my heart was pounding like crazy, HRM showed 190bpm when i average 165 and max out 175bpm normally. Hopefully the last time i do one with the mask if the lockdown ends friday..

Home workout, DLs went ok. bench on weds without dbs but i'll make a workout out of it somehow but friday's squats are the most concerning cos even if lockout ends 6pm friday - idk when they will open gyms.. might be a while .. lets see what happens.
