Here's a single at 137kg from earlier today and then the fourth back off set.... 112kg times ten. Blah. Did a bunch of other stuff too, then washed the car. Tired now.
I do still train. Top single at 105kg this morning I do still train. Top single at 105kg this morning. This is the heaviest I've benched in a long time, since I tore my shoulder in (I think) August last year. I've lost some strength but eh. It'll come back. This didn't hurt.

This stuff just keeps throwing roadblocks in my way. --- Anyway I still did the work sets I planned today. Here's a bunch of benching where I'm clearly trying to protect the sore shoulder. I did some lat pulldowns, leg extensions, triceps extensions and curls after that. Hope it is a great weekend for everyone! #lifting #training #exodusstrength

It was about -3° when I woke up this morning and It was about -3° when I woke up this morning and I don't think it's any warmer now (5 hours later). ---- 2 Count Pause Bench. 4x5x107.5kg - that last set got kinda hard.

Deadlift day. New power bar from @loadedlifting tu Deadlift day. New power bar from @loadedlifting turned up on Friday, first time pulling with it. Definitely a lot quieter and nicer to pull with than my old bar - hopefully disturbed the neighbours a little less at 5am this morning. Hope my hands get used to the knurling quickly! ---- Couple of singles with 210kg - it was only supposed to be one, but I wasn't happy with how I locked out the first, didn't set my hook grip well. Four sets of six with 180kg. Did some pause SSB squats and reverse nordic curls and lateral raises after that but it's all boring so I won't post here. ---- Very tired and need a deload next week. #exodusstrength #lifting #training #deadlift
Some snippets from the weekend training sessions. Some snippets from the weekend training sessions. Yesterday: really light tempo squats because I'm slightly injured again (yay!), plus leg extensions, incline bench, rear delt flys and seated dumbbell press. Today: Comp bench for a 125kg single then a few triples, a few sets of Larsen bench, lat pulldowns, leg extensions, curls and triceps pushdowns. Needed a whole lot of couch time after that. #lifting #training #exodusstrength
This morning's session. Pulled 200kg, moved a bit This morning's session. Pulled 200kg, moved a bit slow but I haven't pulled anything heavy for weeks. 8x175kg, 8x175kg, 4x175kg (tired), 6x175kg. Pause SSB Squat - 3x6x107kg, bit lighter than planned, I'm nursing a thing. Lying leg extensions and lateral raises to finish. We do what we can do. And I need coffee now. #lifting #training #exodusstrength
Sunday's bench session. I was somewhat pumped wit Sunday's bench session. I was somewhat pumped with how fast 115kg moved (last warmup). Then 122.5kg was @ 6.5 maybe. Some easy triples with 112.5kg after that. Then Larsen bench: 2x8x90kg, and then 12(!) x 82.5kg Some lat pulldowns, unilateral leg extensions, curls and triceps pushdowns to finish. Was a pretty good day. #lifting #training #exodusstrength
