Persistent Guy's Training Log Continues

4x1: deadlift 209 kg
6x1: deadlift 189 kg
5x5: pullup 22 kg
1x4: pullup 12 kg
1x3, 1x2: pullup
1x20: alternating hammer curl 12 kg

Right hamstring still feels a bit tight on the heavier deads, so being careful there and not adding any more weight for now, but most of the rest of me that was sore before sure seems to have benefited from that week off.

20x1: front squat 109 kg
3x6: military press 71 kg
3x12: dip 16 kg
1x20: plate uppercut 20 kg

1x5, 2x4: pause deadlift 175 kg
5x10: pullup

Giving myself the gift of strength for my 47th birthday, heh. This is what I looked like this morning. Very average, sure, but I still weigh at least 20 kilos more than I did when I was 30, so… it’s something.

1x1: Zercher squat 145 kg
1x4: Zercher squat 135 kg
1x6: Zercher squat 125 kg
1x12: Zercher squat 89 kg
3x8: military press 63 kg
3x10: seated db press 21 kg

So, the heaviest set of Zerchers didn’t go according to plan, haha. The bar shifted forward a bit during the first rep, so I had the brilliant idea to try to reposition it at the bottom of the second. That didn’t work.

1x6, 2x5: deadlift 189 kg
5x5: pullup 22 kg
1x4: pullup 12 kg
1x3, 1x2: pullup
1x20: alternating hammer curl 12 kg

Right hamstring feeling fine, though I went very light today so who knows…

20x1: front squat 109 kg
3x6: military press 71 kg
3x12: dip 16 kg
1x20: plate uppercut 20 kg

4x5: snatch grip deadlift 119 kg
2x20: power clean 49 kg
1x12: pullup
1x10: non-alternating hammer curl 16 kg

1x3: Zercher squat 145 kg
1x4: Zercher squat 135 kg
1x6: Zercher squat 125 kg
3x8: military press 63 kg
2x10: db floor press 32 kg

Haven’t done floor presses in what feels like a few years, and never tried them as a finisher before.

4x1: deadlift 209 kg
6x1: deadlift 189 kg
1x12: deadlift 129 kg
5x5: pullup 22 kg
1x4: pullup 12 kg
1x3, 1x2: pullup
1x20: alternating hammer curl 12 kg

20x1: front squat 109 kg
3x6: military press 71 kg
3x12: dip 16 kg
1x20: plate uppercut 20 kg

3x7: pause deadlift 155 kg
5x10: pullup

Pullups sure are a nice way to unsquash the back after paused deads, heh.

1x3: Zercher squat 145 kg
1x4: Zercher squat 135 kg
1x6: Zercher squat 125 kg
1x12: Zercher squat 89 kg
3x8: military press 63 kg
2x12: db floor press 32 kg

1x4: deadlift 209 kg
1x6: deadlift 189 kg
5x5: pullup 24 kg
1x4: pullup 12 kg
1x3, 1x2: pullup
1x20: alternating hammer curl 12 kg

15x1: front squat 119 kg
3x6: military press 71 kg
3x12: dip 16 kg
1x20: plate uppercut 20 kg

4x5: snatch grip deadlift 119 kg
2x20: power clean 49 kg
1x12: pullup
1x10: non-alternating hammer curl 16 kg

That second set of cleans was enough to convince me that I should probably just do heavier cleans without so many reps.

1x5: Zercher squat 145 kg
1x4: Zercher squat 135 kg
1x6: Zercher squat 125 kg
3x8: military press 63 kg
1x12, 1x8, 1x4: db floor press 32 kg

Did the floor presses with no break, basically letting one arm rest while the other’s lifting. This turns out to be a really dumb idea, as the last half-set the right arm only had half the rest the left did.

6x1: deadlift 189 kg
5x5: pullup 24 kg
