in the hip thrust, although the 150 kg feels like at the limit of safety in terms of form. Will not increase the weight but instead try to do more reps.

Did my squats with a belt, but the problem is that the belt makes me lose concentration for some reason and I tweaked my back on the left side a little after my third rep with 120 kg.

Comments:

Very weak bench pressing. Both the 70 kg and the 65 kg sets felt like 3RM and 5RM, respectively, with the last rep a grinding, very close to failure rep. I just can't find the "right" grip width. Squats were good but the entire session was very tiring.

Went in the park, played some three on three, then had a bunch of dunks including a pretty powerful one on the 2.92m rim. A few jumps felt like back in the day, although it's difficult to describe what I mean by that. There's an "elastic feeling" in the calf that is hard to describe. I played in my bouncy running shoes.

Comments:

Took a step back in the squat weight and went for a bigger volume. Went good. Also did an all-time

in the bench press with 2 sets of 10 reps with 55 kg, which was unexpected. Very good RDLs as well, although I'm limited by grip strength, it's very difficult holding the bar for the duration of an 8 rep set.

Went in the park, played 3 on 3 for 2:20 hours, had 15 dunks on the 2.92m rim. I've gotten to the point where I can dunk off one step, I just "hip snap" myself into the jump and that's it, like back 8 years ago. Crazy. I tried two or three dunks on the 10' rim as well, I am about 2 or 3 inches away from a clean dunk.

I'm currently trying to get my bodyweight under 90 kg, that should suffice to get those 2-3 inches that I need. Currently at 92.2 kg (91.4 after coming from the park, dehydrated).

Comments:

Old age

in the bench press. Used a narrower grip and it worked really well. 5th rep was a bit of a grinder but still. Squat was done with a narrow stance, quad dominant, full. Very tiring but I did feel the legs work a lot. Had to cut the session short because I thought I had a meeting but it turns out it was cancelled. Oh well.

Went to do my 5 km walk, then went in the park and played 1 hour of ball and surprisingly, after all this and yesterday's gym, I could dunk off two steps on the 2.92m rim. Really unexpected.

Comments:

Felt very weak in the bench press, unsurprisingly with the thicker bar that I thought weighs more than 20 kg. I weighed it and it's 20 kg. So it has to be the bar's thickness why I feel weaker with it, not sure yet. Regardless, very weak in the bench but the narrow stance squat was decent. Also the landmine single leg deadlift felt powerful.

Went in the park and played 2 hours of ball pretty aggressively and was very close to dunking again on 10 feet. I estimate being 2 inches away from it, vert seems to be about 30 inches.

Comments:

Felt somewhat weak in the squat. Can't believe how heavy 100 kg feels like, even low bar. Also, the deadlift was difficult and felt like something I shouldn't be doing, although to be fair it came after heavy work during the squat which took quite a lot out of me.
