Progress is progressing...!

I forgot I had done deadlifts last leg day so did them again...

DEADLIFT: 100kg x3 reps, 130kg x 3 reps, 150kg x 3 reps, 140kg x 3 reps for 2 sets.
BACK SQUAT: 87.5kg x 8 reps for 4 sets
BELT SQUAT: 20kg x 16 reps for 2 sets

Belt squats are so painful. But pretty happy with that deadlift!
 
Shoulders...

STRICT PRESS: 50kg x 5 reps, 60 x 5 reps for 3 sets
CHINUP: 20kg x 4 reps, 20kg x 5 reps for 3 sets
INCLINE DB BENCH: 12kg x 16 reps for 2 sets
SAP CABLE ROW: 35kg x 8 for 2 sets, 35kg x 10 for 1 set
 
Legs again. :eek:

BACK SQUAT: 90kg x 8 reps for 4 sets
RDL: 80kg x 10 reps for 2 sets
DBSS: BW x 12 reps, 20kg x 12 reps.

Smoked.
 
Rough week at work so far...

DEADLIFT: 130kg x 3 reps, 140kg x 3 reps for 2 sets
SNATCH PULL: 80kg x 5 reps for 2 sets

Just too tired...
 
Oh, good... pulled part of my rotator cuff (supraspinatus) benching, which is a bit annoying.

So it is legs. All the legs.

BACK SQUAT: 70kg for 12 reps, 80kg for 12 reps, 82.5kg for 12 reps
RDL: 82.5kg for 10 reps for 3 sets
SISSY SQUAT: 40kg for 12 reps, 50kg for 12 reps
NORDIC CURL: CW for 5 reps for 2 sets
 
I did a back workout earlier in the week, but I can't remember it. Probably lots of chinups.

But today was legs. Again.

DEADLIFT: 130kg x 3, 150kg x 3 for 2 sets (nice), 130kg for 3 reps
BACK SQUAT: 60kg for 10 reps, 80kg for 12 reps, 82.5kg for 12 reps for 2 sets

Ouch. That burn. And my last 150kg deadlift was pretty ugly.
 
More legs... even though my rotator cuff is behaving a bit better!

BACK SQUAT: 85kg for 12 reps, for 3 sets
RDL: 80kg for 8 reps, for 2 sets
BELT SQUAT: 30kg for 12 reps, for 2 sets
 
I went to one of those inflatable aqua parks on Sumlnday and wrecked both my shoulder and my lumbar. I was thrilled. A bit of rest and ibuprofen later...

Last night was legs, but it was also really hot...

BACK SQUAT: 80kg for 3, 100kg for 3, 110kg for 3 for 2 sets

Heaviest weight for a whilst. Nice.

This evening...

CHINUP: BW for 10 reps, 20kg for 5 reps, for 2 sets. Assisted (green band) for 10 reps
SAR: 20kg for 12 reps for 2 sets
BIZENTRIZE: Loads.
 
After a couple of weeks on a ship, eating all the food and using machines, I decided I would ease back into things with a 1RM squat...

80kg for 1 rep
110kg for 1 rep
120kg for 1 rep

Not bad considering I haven't done... any proper strength training for a long time.

Onwards and upwards!

I'm also broken, stopped physio for one niggle and now started it up again for two other niggles...

Physical training can throw up all sorts of strange niggles and injuries I find, especialy as I age (I am now over 45).

For instance, I am developing a right shoulder that is becomming irritated by Burpees, and meanwhile, a left shoulder that is getting irritated by Pullups (of all things).

It's a funny old game.

I'm considering a getting in some dedicated prehab/rehab work more regularly.

I think pre-hab or specific warmup activities are always good. I used to do them for shoulders... :D

BACK SQUAT: 90kg for 8 reps, for 4 sets
RDL: 90kg for 5 reps , for 3 sets
REVERSE NORDIC: 15kg support, 13 reps and then 10 reps.
DBSS: BW for 12 reps

Ouch. Those reverse nordics really did a number on my quads this morning! Would recommend!
