Goalios as I'm almost 40 and currently weaker than a Swedish cider.

* Commit myself to powerlifting exercises and to getting statically strong.

* Post in here at least once a week

* Buy a bench

* Not compete until I'm at least at a 650kg total

* Stay below 125kg for health

Wife and I are both "under the weather". I don't say ill, just incase we get quarantined and shunned by the neighbours.

I am all kindsa tired weak but chose to throw in 40 minutes of training anyway.
Very little breather between sets.

FitNotes Workout - Friday 30th April 2021

** Barbell Squat **
- 20.0 kgs x 7 reps - front squats
- 20.0 kgs x 7 reps
- 70.0 kgs x 4 reps - front squats
- 70.0 kgs x 4 reps
- 70.0 kgs x 4 reps - front squats
- 100.0 kgs x 3 reps
- 100.0 kgs x 3 reps
- 120.0 kgs x 3 reps
- 120.0 kgs x 3 reps
- 120.0 kgs x 4 reps
- 100.0 kgs x 4 reps
- 70.0 kgs x 4 reps

** Standing calf raise **

Knee is clicking and popping so until I either get it checked or it heals a wee bit more, I am tempted to stick to fronties and only high volume back squats.

Also, my patio "platform" is a bit wobbly and uneven.

Can't beat a bit of the old knees trying to be the drummers in their own band! If I win the euromillions, I'll buy us the new Elon Musk Cyberknees.

Fanx.

Started teaching myself (last year I fink).
Way more comfy than back squats but slips the position sometimes.
Missing flexibility for hands back, or even straps up. Gotta keep working on it.

Morning training abuses my old bag of skin and bones.
Morning is snap crackle pop pairing the brain with all its connections.
Not checking the diagnostics for abnormalities before stupidity may be double stupid!

Yesterday was a COMPLETE write off.

For the sake of consistency, I am going to write even the crap in here, to remind myself of keeping smart.

I obviously had a bad workout on Wednesday and I made everything worse for myself.
A job came up that I have been waiting for and so on Wed night I applied for it. CV, revision of the job etc. Turned in to a literal all nighter. Submitted the application at 05am, then decided against sleeping with fear of sleeping through.

So then stayed awake until 10pm the following night.

Yesterday then, I tried to workout, having had one short catch up sleep.

Plan was to warm up with push ups, pull ups, light deadlifts and then some front squat sets.

Felt rubbish so warmed up with 3 sets of front squats at 70kg.
3 x 3 fronties at 100kg.

Sat down for 10 minutes. Stood up. Bang, could barely walk. Complete body exhausion hit me and I was done.

Amazing. 2011 and I'd have smashed through it anyway.

Sleeping 7 hours last night didn't quite catch me up either.

Currently limited to a 3 day hard workout session, so acceping defeat and weekend to sit in a corner with my dunce hat on.

Next week, I'll be lifting moderately on Monday. Muay Thai padwork on Wednesday and see how I recover from that.

Another a.m workout. 0630. Later than it should have been.

Fasted. 1 disgusting triple spoon instant sugary coffee.

3 sets of 25 press ups.
I try to keep them decent form but don't quite lock out as I use these for my warm ups.
1 set. 1 minute rest.

Standing barbell shoulder press. Strict.
Even after the press ups, I still warm up with the barbell. Also trying to revert to my old form. Bring it fully down to upper pec.

12 slow reps on bar. x 2
6 strict reps 50kg
6 strict reps 60kg
5 strict reps 70kg
7 strict reps 70kg.

I could feel the a.m fasted weakness here. Happy that it was lack of fuel, rather than genuine lack of manliness.

I should have done some pull ups off the bar too, but time against me.
Missed 3 sets of 8 pull ups.

Deadlifts.
Now, I watched Thor (recent video with Larry) doing what appeared to be Romanian deadlifts.
As it was early and my neighbours sleeping, I gave them a shot in my first 3 sets. Keeps the reps fairly quiet.

Will upload vid soon. No idea if they were close to rdl or not. Also, was in lifting shoes.

Bar was wet from rain so had grip issues this morning.

70kg x 8 RDL (possibly)
70kg x 3 RDL
100kg x 8 maybe some RDL maaaaybe not

*After 0700 so started grunting a bit more*

120kg x 5
2 min rest
140kg x 4. Shoulda been 5 but slippery and I DOH everything
2 min rest
160kg x 8 with OU grip. Son is awake. Shouting at me. Workout over.

100 bodyweight calf raises in bathroom.
Kept grunting to minimum.

An hour of Muay Thai and stretching fitness yesterday.

Strapped up my knee with triple layer tubisock and made it through the whole session. Couple of rounds of padwork and the rest was all around fight cardio.

Surprising that a year off actually did my body good. So much wear and tear from high impact training. I will keep this every 3rd week to try and avoid injury and to really, interfering with strength/muscular growth. Hard to stay disciplined when I get an itch to fight, but remaining focussed is important.

I can absolutely feel everything today. Unsure my body will be good for heavy work tomorrow so I will focus hard on warm ups before I lift anything. Tomorrow is an a.m workout.
