Glad you had a great holiday. I’ll try and get a weight check as well before starting tomorrow morning.
In fairness it’s may not be so monstrous if your TMs are pretty low. I think I set mine fairly - 90% of my recent all-time press PR; my recent max triple for bench; and my best recent triple for squat - But all these are pretty low weights, and perhaps I’m more “wired” for reps than weight?, so tomorrow’s percentage work doesn’t look too daunting. Everything else will make up for that, of course! TBH I’m dreading the lunges the most. Those are miserable.
Good luck tomorrow!
@jdm135 each individual session looks OK, it’s the volume that may be dialled up too high for me right now. But if I can get the food down my throat, and cobble enough sleep together, that’s an awesome thing.
Work for today:
Press:
5 x 5 @ 45kg
Squat:
5 x 45kg
5 x 60kg
5 x 70kg
5 x 80kg
5 x 90kg
5 x 95kg
Leg Press:
10 x 130kg + sled
8 x 150kg + sled
6 x 180kg + sled
Walking lunges:
3 x 20
Hamstring Curl:
3 x 8
SLDL:
3 x 8 @ 110kg
Pull ups:
10 x 5 spread throughout session
Rower:
100m EMOM for 6 rounds.
Notes:
Squats felt much better. Still way weaker than I’m comfortable with but I am going rock bottom with a decent pause so it’s not quite an apples to apples comparison.
Leg Press is still too light, I think. The ROM is so ridiculously short on these, even when I tilt the seat all the way back.
Forgot to load lunges. Realised halfway through and decided to just cut rest times to basically nothing instead.
Ran out of energy halfway through SLDL again. They aren’t particularly challenging physically, but I’m pretty beat up by then so I find the mental aspect of forcing myself through them pretty tough.
@carlbm onto week 2 of the conditioning thing. I’m unclear about whether 5 mins EMOM means 5 rounds or 6 rounds so I did 6 to be safe. This hit me harder than I thought at the end of this session.
Yes, but mostly because I was already spent from leg day. I think it would be fine fresh. Its taking me best part of 20s to get the 100m though, so the final weeks of every 30s look pretty serious.
3 rounds, plus set up and tidying away. Set up and tidying away were probably more brutal than the actual workout, it’s a long way from my garage to the flat piece of grass.
Shoulder superset (plate raises and cable raises): some
Rower thingy: 5 rounds EMOM, 100m
Notes:
Back and biceps are sore as hell today, think those carries did something. Skipped pulling and added more pushing, will do a dedicated pull day later in the week.
Still disappointed how week my Press and Bench are, work to be done there.
I can already feel I’m going to need to eat like a champion to sustain this.
