Played ball for about 2 hours. Was gruelling. I skipped lifting as a result. Ate pizza for lunch, nandos for dinner and pizza for bedtime snack. Got it out of my system as the last day of the diet break.

Training today. Going to give squatting 6 sets of 4x150kg another crack. Haven't been sleeping well and life isn't being kind r/n but i wanna get off to a good start.

BSKB 2x150, 1x170(PR)

Notes:
Life got in the way. Couldn't rep out 150kg so i went for a heavy single PR.

Nice! 10kgs away from double bw. I know you're on the rep train right now but does that make you feel a lot closer to your goal?

Nice! 10kgs away from double bw. I know you're on the rep train right now but does that make you feel a lot closer to your goal?

180kg/2xbw is the goal for the summer but i dont want to give myself long to do it because im probably around 2/10 as a basketball player right now. Spending the winter solely n the weight room has not done wonders for my basketball ability but i am stronger at squatting. It seems getting old is hitting me hard on the court at 34, im even slower than i used to be which was never that fast haha. so yeah 10kg or 6% more weight seems hard r/n because i know how hard it to put 10kg on the bar. But im trying to convince myself yesterday was a day when i was too weak to rep out 150kg - and i could nevertheless put up 170kg. Maybe on a stronger day i will be say 5% stronger -- and -- i intend to get my volume worksets around 5x5x155kg which shud be sufficient to get the 2xbw/180kg milestone??

Shot around with a friend. Somehow forgot it was a rest day and did some dunks. Which meant i overcompensated afterwards and ate badly to try 'make up' recovery. This pattern is destructive.

Seems im starting over diet wise every day or every other day. Even when im in the 'zone' during the day i can wreck it by bedtime. Something to keep an eye on. If my body feels up for it i will attack volume today again but otherwise maybe rest and try tmr? Idk.

Haven't been to the gym since saturday. Life. Took andrews advice and unleashed the animal in me, felt more and more normal as the workout went on. I think im ok with one or two persons training around me in isolation. But when there is a group especially youths, i feel they'll judge me more? Is that weird? Anyway. Started a new cycle with 155kg. Im gna try get some 25 reps with it in 5-6 sets by adding a rep each week. 150kg for volume was not happening, it just got away from me mentally and physically somehow.

if there's any group of people you should care less about judging, it's youths. lmao. it can be annoying when they are acting like little giggly twats, but really, it's probably better if they are too afraid to judge you.. :D

You're right. But why do i care so much lol. I just remembered we went to watch a movie and these teen giggly twats were not enjoying the movie (Downsizing) and they ruined the experience for us by talking shit and laughing and giggling constantly throughout the film.  :pissed:
