1x5: deadlift 189 kg
1x3: deadlift 209 kg
1x2: deadlift 229 kg
3x10: behind the neck press 53 kg
3x12: pullup
Those numbers don’t look like progress, but I am being more honest about the range on the presses and pullups, so that’s something.
2x11, 1x10: front squat 103 kg
6x3, 2x2: pullup 25 kg
3x12: db floor press 42 kg
1x5: front squat 119 kg
1x3; front squat 129 kg
1x2: front squat 135 kg
1x6: deadlift 189 kg
1x3: deadlift 209 kg
1x2: deadlift 229 kg
3x10: behind the neck press 53 kg
3x12: pullup
20x1: front squat 103 kg (off sawhorses done as a cluster of singles - no more than five breaths between reps)
7x3, 1x2: pullup 25 kg
3x12: db floor press 42 kg
1x5: front squat 119 kg
1x3; front squat 129 kg
1x0: front squat 137 kg
2x10, 3x9: db clean and press 24 kg
3x10: hammer curl 24 kg
So I know I can front squat 139, it’s just a matter of confidence and maybe technique. Gotta approach it right.
1x6: deadlift 189 kg
1x3: deadlift 209 kg
1x2: deadlift 229 kg
4x12: pullup
I tweaked my right shoulder earlier, it doesn’t seem too interested in overhead lifting.
Also a bit of video to add color, same singer as on the last page but this song came out better.
23x1: front squat 103 kg (off sawhorses done as a cluster of singles - no more than five breaths between reps)
8x3: pullup 25 kg
3x12: db floor press 42 kg
Right shoulder still feels tense when pressing, but is defintiely better.
When it comes to heavier front squats I just need to have the confidence to push hard at the start instead of tentatively push and wonder if the bar’s gonna move. This is 100% mental. I probably just need to take a week off anyway.
1x5: front squat 119 kg
1x3: front squat 129 kg
1x1: front squat 131 kg
1x0: front squat 133 kg
So, I was gonna take a week off and do something else tonight, but that got moved to tomorrow, so let’s do a little bonus session. Just warm up and:
1x10: deadlift 189 kg
That tenth rep sure didn’t feel easy.
I’ll take that week off next week for real, but today I did a few front squat singles just to practice getting a good setup and start:
3x1: 89 kg
1x1: 109 kg, 119 kg, 125 kg, 129 kg, 131 kg
Took a week off, went to visit my parents for Christmas, got some kind of food poisoning or stomach flu, but I seem to be over it and I’m back now.
1x6: deadlift 189 kg
1x3: deadlift 209 kg
1x1: deadlift 229 kg
3x12: pullup
3x11: behind the neck press 53 kg
Since the heavier the weighted pullups get the worse the range gets, I took most of the plates out of the backpack and did them with proper full extension at the bottom. We’ll see how much weight I can add before that breaks down.
1x5: front squat 109 kg
1x3: front squat 129 kg
1x1: front squat 131 kg
3x3, 5x2: pullup 10 kg
3x12: db floor press 42 kg
39th birthday, so I’ve been lifting for more than eight years now.
23x1 cluster: front squat 103 kg
1x13, 2x12; pullup
3x11: military press 53 kg
Also video with bacon, chocolate and girls helping me make bacon and chocolate.

3x12: db floor press 42 kg
6x3, 2x2: pullup 10 kg

3x11: military press 53 kg
3x6: deadlift 189 kg
8x3: pullup 10 kg
3x12: db floor press 42 kg
15x1: front squat 119 kg
3x10: behind the neck press 49 kg
1x13, 2x12: pullup
16x1 cluster: front squat 113 kg
1x10: front squat 89 kg
2x3, 6x2: pullup 12 kg
3x12: db floor press 42 kg
Squats were supposed to be 103 kg like before but I put 10 kg plates instead of 5s on the bar for the squats by mistake. I thought it felt a bit heavy, then after about a dozen reps I started thinking I must be weak today for some reason, then a couple of reps later I realized I put the wrong plates on there. Ground out rep 16, then stripped some of the plates and quickly did a set of 10 to make up the missing volume.
Oh well. I guess I accidentally got a new goal now - do a cluster of 20 with 113 kg without taking more than 5 breaths between any of the reps.
