Seated barbell overhead press
Bar + 30 kg - 3 * 10

How i feel

  • Last set of front squat was a 1 kg PR. I want to do 5 reps with bar + 45 kg before 2020 is over. The biggest obstacle is cleaning the weight from the floor.
  • I did a shoulder workout from my training log in 2015. Finishing with military presses after doing double pre exhaustion literally fried my delts. Repeating my old workouts brought some excitement to my training sessions.

Weighted push up
BW + 7,5 kg - 12
BW + 7,5 kg - 10 + dropset BW 10

How i feel

  • Today’s theme was dropsets which is my second favorite intensity technique after rest pause. Doing a dropset on one arm rows was taxing but i literally went bananas on incline bench. I barely could lift my arms afterwards.
  • Even though total volume was lower, i was really exhausted at the end. It was a very satisfying workout.
  • I hit an unexpected rep PR on incline bench. Doing 5 reps with bar + 50 kg until 2020 is over started to seem really reasonable.

30 grams of roasted chickpeas and a piece of fruit became a staple post workout snack for me. Since my workout ends at 23:30 pm, i need something easy on the stomach.

How i feel

  • I will do 5 reps of front squat with bar + 45 kg before 2020 is over. I set this as a goal.

I think it’s one of the classic poses I like the least.

I think it’s really weird and I don’t really understand its purpose

I didnt like it either. It was too hard to get into position and i looked like shit :slight_smile:

I’ll hold you to that.

This will be my motivation :+1:t3:

How i feel

  • Because of my neck / upper back strain, i was forced to train much lighter than usual so i chose the harder versions of my typical exercises. I also kept the rest periods very short and didnt go below 10 reps. It was a “cute” low intensity but good workout.

I took some photos after the workout. nobody in turkey can see or find them so no problem.

Hows the training going dude?

Hi. I was too focused on my youtube channel that i forgot to update my log. Training is going good. I have been playing with Doggcrapp for the last 1,5 months. It is a nice change of pace.

Good to hear you’re still at it man.

This is the split I’ve settled on after many, many years of trial and error. I alternate sets of chest and back exercises, and for legs I alternate sets of thigh and calf exercises. That’s pure bro science, but I find it works really well for me.
