Bike 20 mins @ 12 difficulty

Notes:
Dont usually log bike rides but i bumped the difficulty up to 12 from 11. A couple of months ago i was using 9, so i've made some considerable progress. But interestingly my HR still didn't go over 150bpm, which i thought might happen with the bump from 11. Will try make 12 the new normal from here on. I think running and also strength training has made me better at bike, which was surprising, because i used to make a meal out of level 10 in the past and now i can maintain 12 for 30 minutes.

Was scheduled for 5x5 but i decided to scrap it and start a new cycle with 120kg early, with the goal of 6x6x120kg in 3 weeks time. After that i will progress 5x5s weekly.

Lat Pull Down 8x35, 8x35, 12x35

Notes:
Wow, finally failed a press session! Just decided to call it and tested some heavier weights for fun. Otherwise it was a writeoff. It's my right arm, it's too weak. My strong L side was powering thru reps when the R would stall, which tells me that I'm a 65kg presser on the left and maybe a 50kg presser on the right. Why today hit the wall, prob because i've been pushing my R side harder (with the new flat db benches, arm assistance etc) and this overtrained the R side. Just have to be patient while it catches up then i'll be ready to tackle the next stage.

DL 6x117.5, 3x127.5, 3x140, 1x150, 8x150(Rack)
Jumps 3xSVJ, 3xRVJ, 3xME
Cable Row 3x8x120
DB Side bend 20x35kg

Notes:
Nonsense workout except DLs went better this week. I  seem to have forgotten which pin i used to use for rack pulls, i think i need to go one pin lower. And i had no plan so i ended up doing 8x150 for some reason. But was surprised i could pull 150kg clean - first time doing heavy singles from the floor, the 140kg triple was supposed to be a heavy single and then i could rep it, so i thought to try 150kg. Getting better slow.

The 120kg cable row was just one of those pointless milestones where i rowed the entire stack. Each week ive gone up by 5kg and it's  unreasonable to expect that kind of progress on such an exercise. So about 3 weeks ago i started cheating more and more and this week it was complete  cheating lol. but the goal is to row the entire stack strict one day, so i'll reset a bit, improve rom, max out and repeat.

Notes:
Made a huge leap from last week, dropped a minute on my average pace. Not bad for starting the 2nd week of running. Would be nice to be 6min or so by end of week 6!

Dips 3x8x17.5
Curl 3x8x36

Notes:
Damn, i regret not trying for 90.5kg for all three sets, may have got it. Next time will go for that. But once again, my bench day coincided with the kiwi crew and they bench one after other and there is like 6 of them - so i was kinda cold by the time i got the bench. Next time, i'll just assume we'll end up benching together and save the preworkout for when i get a free bench lol. But all of this can only help so much, the real issue is at my level, it's almost impossible to progress smoothly without a signicant caloric surplus, something i can't afford at my 41.25" size.

it's the biggest trick in the run game.. go slow to go fast. it doesn't make sense until it smacks you in the face and you're like ....... wtf?

haha, kind of, still hard to get too excited about benching bodyweight  :). the interesting thing is im doing it without being as muscular as i have been in the past .. so hopefully i can do a bit better than this once i figure out why

Run - 5km / 38 min

Notes:
First run with Asics Novaboost. Amazing cushioning .. lived up to the hype. I got them on special and im glad i bothered. Easily my fav shoe now but once im in shape i can probably do better times with my Pegasus 34. Did the first km in 6 min pace .. i didnt think i had that in me but the shoes just felt so good and maybe the carb up from last night's pizza helped too. By week 6 i want to be capable of sub 5 pace on a max effort .. that would be cool.

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.

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..

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?
