Never done this much weight with Zercher squats before. So, apparently, the keys to setting PRs well into your 40s: don’t start lifting until your 30s, and focus on increasingly obscure lifts as you age.

Doing deads pausing just above the ground this heavy feels like a risky idea, even if I’m completely fine afterwards. Will try a lot less weight and more reps next time.

And a couple of food pics. First 7 1/2 kilos of lamb I bought a week ago, ate a little more than half of it and froze the rest.

And something I plan to try tomorrow… pike egg sacs. I bought a 3 1/2 kilo catfish today, which will obviously last for a few dinners, and the fish guy had some of these laying around. Can make caviar out of this, but it seems like the easier thing is to batter them and fry them whole.

20x1: front squat 109 kg
3x6: military press 71 kg
1x6: behind the neck press 49 kg
1x16: dip 20 kg
1x8: dip

The egg sacs dusted in flour and fried pretty much have the taste and texture of wheat gruel, with maybe a tiny amount of fishy taste if you really pay attention. Supposedly a lot of protein, though.
