Press (paused reps):

40 kg x 5
50 kg x 5
60 kg x 5
67.5 kg x 1

75 kg x 4 fail 5

Far from my best on this, but to be expected now I'm losing bodyweight.

Push Press:

50 kg x 4
70 kg x 3
80 kg x 3

95 kg x 2
95 kg x 2
95 kg x 2

Volume PB. Warm ups were smooth and fast as always. Work sets weren't very smooth, every rep was grinded out at the top. Not bad though

Squats:

60 kg x 6
85 kg x 5
110 kg x 5
122.5 kg x 3

137.5 kg x 8 PB

72.5 kg x 10
72.5 kg x 10
72.5 kg x 10

Happy with my squatting. One of the PT's was instructing a client, and said I was "lifting a lot of weight" Roll-Eyes

Zydrunas Pressing:

40 kg x 10
40 kg x 10

Standing Press:

40 kg x 10

Wide grip pull ups:

BW x 8

Callus was looking vulnerable so left it there

Done in 1 hour 25

Checked my height and weight:

4'2 and 98.9 kg, have lost 2.4 kilos in 2 weeks and my jeans feel looser already

Thanks. I want to lose some fat (maybe get down to 95 kg or so) and then build up again to a lean 105 in the next 12 months or so.

Better to be 105 kg of useful weight, than 105 kg of lard and blubber in my opinion.

Surely you can overhead squat more than my 30 kg?

Afternoon Sandbag training:

Made a sandbag out of an old army duffel bag, 3 rubble sacks, and 3 bags of B&Q Sand over the weekend- total weight 74 kg

Clean to Right Shoulder, walk 12 metres, turn, walk back 12 metres, 2 sets
Repeat for 2 sets on the Left Shoulder.

Clean to Right Shoulder, walk 12 metres, turn, walk back 12 m, set it down, pick up, walk turn come back for 1 set (48 metres and 2 pick ups in total)

Clean to chest (holding in biceps basically) walk a few metres, had to drop it.

Cleaning the Sandbag straight to the shoulder seems to be the way to go with these, holding in front of the body is harder to hold onto and interfers with walking. Will push the sandbag weight up to 90 kg in the near future once I'm comfortable with 74 kg.

Callus on my left hand is healing up now, I put gaffer tape over it to protect it for todays session. Wore straps as well to minimisze the damage.

Squat:

20 kg x 15

Deadlift:

20 kg x 10
70 kg x 5
120 kg x 5 (straps on)
147.5 kg x 5
167.5 kg x 3

Belt on, chalk on, straps on

187.5 kg x 9 PB(last rep hitched)

100 kg x 8 (T&G)
100 kg x 8
100 kg x 8

As I took the plates off one side of the barbell fell apart lol. I'm not going to be popular for breaking 1 of the 3 barbells!

Pull ups:

BW x 8
BW x 7
BW x 6

Pretty poor at these now, but chin ups are improving. Callus held up well throughout the session.

Ha, might do in the new year, but it's really busy then, have to queue for plates and bars etc.

You should come in the morning more often!

Log:

Different log today, 70 kg empty apparently

70 kg x 3c3p
80 kg x 3c3p
85 kg x 3c3p PB Pleased with this after last weeks fiasco
90 kg x clean failed press Unhappy

Was hoping for 3 reps with 90, but the clean was difficult, no air at the top and no leg drive at all really.

Saw Rob rep out on a 170 log after which was pretty mad.

Farmers:

70 kg x 15m down back 15 m FAST

90 kg x 15 m down back 15 m Pretty quick for me

90 kg x 15 m down back 15 m Slower than last set

110 kg x 9 m drop, continue 3 m drop, then went back 5 m with 2 drops, couldn't finish.

110 was much much harder than 90 and for once it was my grip that was going. Still 220 kg from 18 inches is technically a deadlift PB for me though (beltless too).

Kegs:

55 kg x 2c2p

55 kg x 6c6p

55 kg x one motion press

Did some different techniques including resting on shoulder and push pressing it.

90 kg x 2 cleans to about 60 inches or so

Axle Clean and press:

60-70 kg axle belt clean easy push press

2 attempts at power cleaning it, none succesful lol
