another day in the books, another day where i hate split squats with a burner passion, now more then ever. That must mean they work right? RIGHT???

10 minute walk on treadmill, stretching, et. band work
Split squats 3x5 30kg (3rd set i went to deep, lost balance, fell to the side, plates fell off, i died inside.)
Feet up bench 3x5 70kg
fly’s 3x5
seal rows 3x8
face pulls 3x8
tricep pushdowns superset w/ bicep hammer curls got a SICK pump. I felt like a bodybuilder after that.

Split squats work. They sure do suck though.

However, i’m kind of disappointed since i was looking forward to the meet. A well.

Like i said, i did some stuff

10 minute incline treadmill walk (@MarkKO i’m starting to think incline walking is the secret to big calves. Insane calf burn. now to see if it works…)

Single leg leg press
renegade rows
hyperexstensions
incline benchpress
seated rows
pendlay rows
floor press w/dumbells
facepulls
tricep pushdown
barbell curls (and some light hammer curls.)

Ab wheel rollout, Finally got to feel the ab burn during the exercise.

This video helped a ton. (iknow abs are “made in the kitchen”) but this is a great video.

Welp,forget mt previous post.
Went to the gym, hit a 150kg squat, which moved ok, wanted to go up to 157,5kg but missed it.
Also started feeling feverish right during the warmups.
Quit, went home had dinner and back into bed.
This week is now deload.

Dropped 3kg in a day to, probably not the best .

did a heavy pause squat of 160kg yesterday, Felt really easy.
Did some bench, just did a single at 90kg (did a 105kg single on wensday, was like easy. 2nd attempt.)
THen on to deadlifts.

Dead are feeling garbage, According to my training partner i have to get in the right mindset, and just pull it. So guess ITS A MINDSET?!?!

gonna do my regular program today.

DL is the first lift to go to shit when you’re run down or needing a deload. It’s not a mindset as such I don’t think, not to the extent that if you’re plain drained and tired getting psyched up won’t do any good. You’ll still not get a heavy pull.
