W5D2 Press

Rereading Laine's training advice again for the RT. I think I'll keep chipping with the 3x10 until I get good and comfortable again then start working up with low reps to a max single set of 10+ adding weight once I beat 20 reps. Resetting each rep as well.

W3 Dead’s

December 16, 2022

Week 3. TSE. Also donated blood last night. Not sure if that affects anything today. The fried fish and chips may be doing something though…

Lifting directly under a radiant heater really sucks too IMO.

Speed Pulls 300 x 12 x 1r

Hoist Machine Leg Curl - a few sets. Really uncomfortable

Some kind of curl machine for a few myo sets. I like my nautilus.

Two hours of bowling.

W1 Squat

December 12, 2022

Week 1. Changing my squat up a bit since I've been running Jobe for well over a year. A nice basic hypertrophy for a bit. Wore squat shoes and went deep. Let's move the capacity up! Going to also Snook my RT again as it's been years. Learning to start nice and light and let the volume work.

Holy crap I'm not accustomed to reps over 5 anymore on the squat!
