belly or face dilemma of a 40 something

ha ha lets have an oap sparring session , makes sense for me to come North , if you have time Jon lets set something up in the spring.

tonight:

paused box squat to parallel 120k x5 RPE9 102.5k 5/5
pin press from 5" off chest 95kx5 RPE9 82.5k 5/5

didn't eat enough tonight which made it hard but i hit my target reps .

tonight 1 hour of Muay thai , really good session faking leg kicks , checking leg kicks and then putting it all together with some light sparring great fun.

power cleans up to 82.5kx5 a bit ropey , need to drop the weight for a while.

deadlift on 20mm block 170kx5 145kx5 145kx5

pin press chin height 65kx5 too heavy should have gone for 62.5k 52.5k x5/5

felt a bit tired tonight so pleased to hit the target reps.

this morning 45 minutes fartlek with the dogs , went too hard for the first 20 minutes and f**ked myself ruined by the end of it , and to make matters worse on the way back I picked up a sloppy dog s**t and the bag burst and i got dog s**t on my hands!

saw the bumper plates, had to stop watching.

real men lift pink rubber weights.

tonight:

paused squat to parallel 115kx5 rpe8 102.5k 5/5/5

pin press 5" off chest 92.5k x5 (supposed to be rpe8 but in reality it was 9.5) 80k 5/5/5


no power cleans tonight as the back feels a little frail.

Are you basing all your weight sessions on RPE Ed?

at the moment I am ,i'm following a program designed by AMH and its based on RPE , I'm enjoying just following the program without having to think too much

tonight 45 mins fartlek got a stitch 5 mins in , first time i've had one in ages forgotten how s**t they are.

stitch wa**er !!!

last proper stich I got was during the blackpool half marathon and I had to really work hard n concentrate to get thru it ...... f**king unexplainable horror !!

1 hour of muay thai , elbow combinations , technically quite difficult , I definitely looked like the beginner I am.

do you throw elbows to the face ???

one of them on your giant nose cannot be good at your age - 8 years to heal !!!!

ha ha yes mate they are allowed , my beaky nose wouldn't stand too many I suspect!

tonight:

power cleans up to 70k 3x3 really struggled to hold onto the bar on the way back down tonight.

deficit deadlift 20mm block 170kg x5 rpe8 152.5kg 5/5/5

overhead pin press chin height 60kx5 rpe8

ran out of time to do the down sets.

Nice to see a bit of lifting in here ED, I've been getting worried of late!
