Cold was finally gone after 20 days, probably no coincidence that I started feeling better as soon as we signed a lease after searching and search. Well didn’t get a chance to work on anything while trying to find a place to live and do some remote work. Still don’t have a place for several weeks, so can’t get settled yet.
Have a week’s pass at a gym, meh set up is ok, they have those stupid black non-descript hex plates (ugh) and the weight of each plate was not what I was used to either. The next gym I’m paying money for I will make sure there are the nice round ones, colour coded at that, because I could not keep things straight and inline, but it’ll do for now.
The other day I did some easy weight stuff my mom has, she has a nice coated 15lb bar that feels good for doing some bridges or hip thrusts, and a pair of 10lb dumbbells, and a little step up thing I can use. There’s another gym down the road I might go to but they charge too much per session.
Anyway on Sat at mom’s did this:
15lb bar box squats (heard these are good for sumo’s, although probably need to go heavy??)
Step ups
Lateral jump step ups
10lb DB presses
15lb Bridges
And some other stuff just messing around
Today:
Sumo dl’s (my weight estimations are all over the place):
I think the weight was 60.8kg - 8 reps
69.8kg - 6 reps
80+kg - 3 x 2 reps (for some reason thought I was pulling around 70kg on these, was wondering why it felt heavier than it should)
and some more reps a the 60.8kg
35+kg (or so I don’t know)
Cleans - a good few of them
FS - which were very weak
Some single leg bridges for right side as my left adductor is all tight again, thought the break would loosen it up, and just felt like I could not engage the right side on the sumos.
