That workout looks brutal. Nice work finishing everything!
it was, 12 reps on everything was tough, but I think Iāve dialed in the weight pretty good. At least on my lower days. Upper I was a bit optimistic.
Quads and glutes are sore today.
I might be going for two weeks of 10 reps just because of the change in pace. Depends a little on how ālightā the weights feel by the end of next week.
This SGSS looks pretty fun. This might be my next strength phase programā¦
It is not
The program really starts with 8 reps, Iāve just upped it a bit, starting with 12 reps for one week then 10 reps for one or two weeks.
Before entering 3 weeks of 8, 3 weeks of 5, 3 weeks of 3 and then finally 3 weeks of 1ās
@Frank_C says when the 5ās phase is finished all then pain should disappear. And itās a cruise till the end.
Iām sure a young gun like you would benefit from it,
Woke at 83,6 kg - 184,3 lb
3200 calories yesterday.
Had a great āGrimbergen Double Ambreā Belgian beer in the evening
Today weāre throwing a 18 year birthday for the youngest boy.
In DK youāre turning adult at 18, you can go to bars, drink what you want, vote for parliamentary elections, so itās a pretty big day for the boy ā¦ and his parents.
But buying alcohol at non-financially crippling prices is at 21 in DK as well right?
Iām not quite sure what you mean by that?
When youāre 18 there are no childhood restrictions anymore.
between age 16 and 18 you can buy beer and wine in supermarkets. Not hard alcohol like vodka and rum, thatās first legal when youāre 18.
Ah, we have slightly different rules then. I also noticed I wrote 21 when I meant 20. But, what I was referring to was that in Sweden you can go to bars (and vote and all that jazz) when you turn 18, and buy beers available at the supermarket (no wine there) but buying say, wine, isnāt possible before you turn 20. Systembolaget - Wikipedia
The minimum age to buy alcohol at Systembolaget is 20 years.[3] At Swedish restaurants and bars the legal age to buy alcoholic beverages is 18 years, though bars and clubs may voluntarily set an age limit higher than 18 if they prefer.
The U.S. is so backward in that respect. At 18 you can vote, are expected to be independent and take care of yourself, and can be drafted into the military, but you canāt buy any sort of alcohol until you turn 21ā¦ So, you get all of the responsibilities, but donāt get all of the benefits of adulthood for another 3 years.
The age is based off of research and how the brain develops. Itās still developing at 18. Based on my experience in the police world the legal age should probably be about 30, but I really donāt think itād improve things. You canāt fix stupid.
Itās 18 here to be able to buy booze, enter nightclubs, smoke,vote etc. But at 16 we can get our drivers licence here in South Australia.
Yeah, I understand that perspective, I just think that the responsibilities and privileges of citizenship should go hand in hand. As far as people being idiots while drinking, well, like you said, you canāt fix stupid, and there isnāt an age limit on it, either. Of course, in Europe the culture isnāt nearly as fixated on driving so thereās not nearly as much rampant drinking and driving.
woke at 83,8 kg - 184,7 lb
lots of food, beer, wine and rum yesterday.
today was badminton for an hour with my friend.
Lost every set we played, had a lot of things going on in my head, so couldnāt really focus.
You OK?
Yeah Mark Iām OK, thanks for asking.
My mom and dad are 85 and dad have dementia, and itās going really downhill with him.
They live together and mom is just so frustrated and angry and sorry all in the same time, really taking a toll on her. She wont have any help we try to tell her they should have.
They where at my sons 18 years birthday party yesterday, and it went really well, despite a lot of people my dad had a great time.
So donāt really know why I had it that way. So yeah Iām fine.
Perhaps it was just a hangover
Got you. As long as youāre all good
woke at 83,9 kg - 185 lb
didnāt count yesterday but probably around 3000 calories.

Not much to say about this one. 10 reps is still a lot of reps.
OHP sucks big time, when doing them after bench, last week I started with OHP and did 3 sets of 12 with 32,5 kg easy, today 3x10 with 30 kg struggling a little bit.
Bench and Row seems to be fine.
Give OH press itās own day, and smash your shoulders along with it
2nd this
Iāve noticed huge changes in my shoulders doing this plus they feel a lot healthier
Much sympathy on the OHPs. Iām struggling to set a new TM with them now. I canāt even imagine trying to train them AFTER benching.
