Got a friendly reminder to not bench the day before squats. Took prolly 20mins to just get under the bar properly.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but didn't you 1RM 200kg?

I used to. Then I didn't do shit for a year (crazy long time at least).

Pretty simple gym session today, so quick but felt like I did so much. 99kg today apparently, hard to say what's water etc though.
Dips: 3x5 @ BW+35kg Pull Ups: 3x6 @ BW+10kg (bad form...)
And that was it. Took like 25 minutes. I would happily do that every other day, and on the days inbetween just do squats and HLRs. Would be so simple. Throw some rest days in there and it's a routine.

Trying a new thing with rack deadlifts. Started off very high then I'm dropping the pin by one hole every time. Dropped down one hole from yesterday and managed to get 500lbx5 but my hands are completely wrecked. Ended up having to use straps because even my mixed grip wasn't strong enough lol

Wednesday
Bench press: 295-3(pr)-3-3 long pause bench: 255-3-3-3 strict press: 135-8-8-8 kroc rows: 100-30-30-30
Put a towel down on the bench and it made a huge difference I wasn't sliding up the bench any more. Made benching a lot easier, should see some good progress now.
Decafchicken- you should max deadlifts and video it

finally got myself to go back to the gym after a long break of 2-3 weeks, been playing too much sc2 with my friend lately.
mile run warmup @8min db rows: 5x5 50lb db ohp: 5x5 30lb pistols: 3x3 each leg deadlift: 2x5 120lb, grip didnt fail this time! hands have gotten stronger and better at gripping 2 dumbbells
|
Today's workout: (lbs)
175 3x5 Squat 120 3x5 Bench
I feel like my form is awful so I might lower weights before I end up hurting myself. With both the squat and the bench it feels like my left side completely dominates the lift and I end up going up crooked. I've dropped down in weight a couple times because of bad form, it's demotivating for sure.

haha you have turned into a rock over your 'break'. get dat mobility back Well, it has always been a problem but then again I never benched the day before squatting. But you are right, that mobility needs to come back. Or just hit arms 3x a week like I'm currently doing :D Don't need to stretch your gunz. Seriously though, I think as you start lifting heavy again your tightness will go away. Heavy lifting stretches me quite a lot.

Yesterday's workout: Shitload of snatch technique work at 135, then 155/165/170 (PR) /175 (PR) C&J singles: 175/185/195/205/215 (PR)
Funny story, my neck and upper back have been bothering me for about a week and a half now; been to the chiropractor twice in that time period. Felt significantly better after each adjustment, but still had some nagging stiffness/pain as of yesterday. Decided to play some pickup basketball after lifting. First possession on defense, my guy gets a pick on the right side that my teammates don't call, so I run into it at full speed and feel my neck pop in EXACTLY the way I needed it to. Very next defensive possession, my guy gets a pick on the left side that my teammates AGAIN don't call. Same thing, slam into it and get another set of pops. Felt so much better after that, even though I was pissed about the uncalled picks lol. TL;DR pickup basketball more effective than chiropractor

I wonder how much of that is actual muscle lost and how much of that is neural adaptation.

Yesterday I went for a 165lb snatch (5lb PR), tried it seven times lol. I caught some of them but I kept going forward on the catch and ended up dropping it in front. Gonna smoke that PR tomorrow!
