Notes

Lol that first rep. What chilly this morning and so wasn't really warm for first rep. HR again looking golden [152, 160, 164, max 170] but legs lacking pope. Not that surprising today given I did more than usual volume yesterday. Glutes especially feeling it. Should probably commit to that 1/week leg lifting plan.

Angsting about fitting training about work. Been mostly pretty flexible hours and lots of home-working for last couple years, but will be almost full time in office at new job (for the first while, at least). It'll be fine, I'm sure, and just a matter of getting adapted, but still! One of the benefits of being able to control your time, even if I do objectively the same amount/slightly more hours of work now than I'd do in office.

Also, lats obliterated today. Pulldowns just hit different. I do use a different form and focus differently. Tbh kind of feel like lats are almost irrelevant to OAC. The soreness there is way more teres major. And for me the biggest issue is that first pull when the arm is fully overhead, and I think that's not really a lat movement. Need to work how to target that. Probably can also do some specifc one arm stuff with a pulldown cable there.

Notes

Real plod. HR around 130, but also like 10 degrees cooler than I'm usually running in.

Fainting hint of the old hip pain crept in. Wonder if it's because I'm running with more fatigued glutes than usual owing to the drop set on the glute machine at the gym. Will monitor.

how's the commute to the new job? that can be another big factor. i only have to be in twice a week but on those days i spend 1:10-1:30 in transit, and that's better than a lot of people. takes away from time to do anything else.

Really not that bad thankfully, like 30-40 mins each way. And it's like an 8k run/walk, so will experiment with running to from the office at some point I'm sure. If I'm running home most days, waking up early once or twice to hit a morning session, then can do one big lifting sesh on the weekend, that'll be great. Just anxious about change, really!
