Comments:

Squats were very difficult. 100x5 felt more difficult than when I was doing them high bar and weighed 81 kg. I do have a minor right adductor injury but still, systemically they felt very difficult.

Bench was so-so, I just immediately fall off after I go past 6 reps or so, regardless of the weight used.

Hip thrusts and GHRs were pretty good.

Do you really eat 12 eggs per day? I mean... what does your gallbladder think about that?

Cold outside, so gym. Bench was very good, happy about it. Squats were difficult and after my 100x4 set I had a heart rate of 160 and felt a little shaky. I had to mentally focus not to lose it. Incredible how much systemic fatigue squats put on me. Chinups were not great, not terrible.

Deadlift was pretty good and it surprisingly fatigued me less than the squats, I guess because you can leave the barbell from your hand for just a bit whereas in the squat the bar is always on your back and eating away at your energy.

I moved to doing calisthenics in the park for a while, just to see what happens: handle pushups, chinups, pistol squats, hill sprints, stretching, box and depth jumps.

Still around

Nobody can figure out my knee pain

5 physical therapists
5 chiropractors
1 hijamah expert
1 biomechanics expert
1 massage therapist
1 accupuncturist

Crazy stuff

I have terrible chronic neck pain in the cervical area and thoracic "squeezing pain" as I sleep. No luck with any doctor, they're useless. They look at the MRI, don't see much, so their conclusion is "you're imagining it!". They can't say "I'm just incompetent and I don't care", so they blame it on you. It's very convenient when you think about it.

MRI says tendinosis on both Achilles.

Anyway, I went today in the park and had three dunks on the small rim.

Injured Achilles ever since these pictures, sharp pain through it when even touching the ground. Will do MRI tomorrow.

Went in the park and played some 3-on-3. Did some dunks on the small rim, tried two dunks on 10 feet, was very very close on one of them. I have terrible Achilles tendinitis in both feet and left home with stinging in the right Achilles. Will need to take a long break from everything.

Here's a dunk at the 2.88m rim from today:

I put a pic of the highest point in the attachements.

Comments:

Went to the gym alone, so the bench press results are very good, considering I didn't have a spotter. Didn't do squats as my partially ruptured lateral meniscus on my right knee acted up and my right Achilles hurts.

The landmine deadlifts gave me crazy amount of glute soreness.

Comments:

I went with 70 kg for the intense 3 rep sets and it was a success - I've only managed 2 reps here and there but mostly 3. Will stay at 70 kg. The 120 kg squat second rep was truly a max rep, very very close to failing it.
