MU day. I have gone 100% away from the idea that these are just for show. My lats look like someone stuffed baked hams on each side.
Rep progression here was tough. Good volume.

Dude, i haven’t checked your log in forever, but you are insanely stong and can do really impressive things.
HSPU and MU most ppl cant do even 1 (including me). You destroy them!
Switching things up a little, going back to incline and decline. Trying still to “fix” my shoulder, which remains a big problem. Considering I have not been doing these at all, have been barely touching the barbell, and have lost a lot of bodyweight…I was happy with the numbers. Have barely lost any strength.

Okay, so more things today not impressive enough to lie about. Hit a scary little PR on the box jump at 50 inches (have to round up a tiny bit…should really start using centimeters). Did not film it, but it would have even passed @Koestrizer ‘s standards of actually standing up on the motherfucking thing like a poser.

And also because @alex_uk needs occasional proof and wank material, here is little video. The discerning viewer will note the narrow group, the strict start, the zero momentum used, the contemptuous ease of the movement itself and then the almost smug look of non-chalance after the dismount.
Damn with face reveal and not behind a paywall either. Christmas came early.
That aside - that looked seriously impressive. I might just settle for the drinking contest because I’m not sure there’s enough gym challenges for me to win.
Forgot to log a workout from last week, so will do it now. Otherwise had a four day weekend out of town with no training.

Yesterday’s work incoming. Even after 4 days rest, my shoulder absolutely sucks with pain, so I did not feel like going heavy. Honestly, this was still pretty strong for my current bodyweight, and probably had more reps in me. Skipped the dips and the decline.

Today did not go as planned…was gonna jump more and do some bulgarians. But on the very first jump coming back down, I somehow tweaked something in my lower back, and quickly found out that it was a waste of time. Nothing major, should be good in a few days.
Switched to MUs, which also sucked. This is what happens when I take four days off, everything goes to testicles.

The strange little back issue I got yesterday got me thinking I need to do at least a little lower body lifting to make sure I don’t have a major weakness waiting to get injured. So like I normally try to do, I attack the problem and put deadlifts on the menu. Nothing crazy, especially as I haven’t done them in months. 180 almost didn’t come off the ground, lol. Don’t really care, though, I will be working on repping lighter weights.
On the other hand…I did some weighted Muscle Ups for reps, so I guess that is a thing now. PR obviously. Not terribly hard, the biggest issue is that the chains swing too much and you have to make sure they come back down on the correct side on the negative.
