W1 Dead’s & Bench

December 14, 2024

Week 1. Week got all buggered up so a bit of a mash up of the bench and dead's days. Someday my main sets will have equal or greater effort as my accessories haha!

 

Also, a note to myself; stop eating steel cut oats on days I need to pressure up. 

Bench Press 101.5k x 3 x 5r

Low Incline DB Press (2-3 x 8-10r) 95e x 3 x 10r - a lot more stable kicking up vs the Mad Spotter hooks

Deadlift 395 x 3 x 5r

SLDL (1-2 x 6-8r) 395 x 8r - easy but I'll leave the second set for next week. Don't like the idea of my accessories being heavier than the primary.

Week 1. Start of my second round. Upped my training maxes up 2kg or 5kg depending on upper body vs lower. It'll take a handful of cycles until my weights are percentages of my true 1RM but that's okay. I'm old and not competing against anything. Also, awesome pump throughout my upper back and lats.

Week 3. Left shoulders been bugging me for a while again dammit. Today's my first day with my new toy; the Mad Spotter hooks. Dunno about them yet. Kinda spooky racking them and they don't feel awesome in the hands. I'll need another session or two to make my judgement  Also I'm pretty sure the regular bench press has become my weakest bench variation now haha! 😥

Andy Baker - Squat Week 1

November 17, 2024

Week 1 squat of Andy Bakers after 40 program. Sick and not feeling 100% but I've been sitting for too many days. Going back to a 4x per week format. Going to see if trimming back the overall session duration helps with motivation. A lot less volume than what I typically do. Fun fact: you can hear the danger on the rows!
