bar x 10; 50kg x 5
80kg x 3
92.5kg x 3
102.5kg x 5
80kg 3x6

SGDL:
120kg 4x6

Quick session, solid reps throughout, although I can notice the unfamiliarity that crept in. This will day will probably get some additional small exercises and/or a kettlebell circuit.
 
Deadlift:
60kg x 5; 90kg x 5; 120kg x 3
140kgx 3
160kg x 3
180kg x 3

OHP:
bar x 10; 40 x 5
55kg x 3
62.5kg x 3
70kg x 3
55kg x 3x6

Front Squat: 80kg 4x6
Facepulls: 45lbs 4x15
Pushdowns: 45lbs 4x12
Hammer Curls: 12kg 4x10

Not bad. The front squats were done with really low rest periods as I was alternately using the rack with a girl half squatting 60kg.
 
Bouldering

Went bouldering again yesterday, had a good time. But for some reason my right wrist and elbow started acting up.
 
Went to BJJ on friday, but I haven't managed to lift this week due to some one-time appointments throwing my scedule off. I had a professional dental cleaning, some exam reviews and other stuff one has to endure at the beginning of a semester. On the upside, I finished my basic studies and found out I can effectively shorten finish one semester earlier. Right now I'm starting to specialize in the path of mechatronics/automatisation and medical tec (the sudden jump in the percentage of girls present in my courses is a nice development) and if all goes according to plan I'll finish my bachelors thesis next july and then wrap up all loose ends by september.

With those hurdles out of the way, I'll finally have the time to revamp my social life and put some effort into sports. I'll start where I left off with lifting last week and make sure I put some food down my gullet. I held my weight since the last tournament, but right now I don't eat enough to support decent training.

TLDR: Time to kick-start my motivation.
 
BJJ
ankle pick, kimura, necktie-whatever choke, tabata burpies

On the one hand, dat oxygen-debt. On the other hand, I was asked to show a few people some lifts with the new oly bar at the gym. Apparently it is staggering that I can power snatch and press 60kg for reps without a warm up.
 
Power Snatch:
bar x 5; 40kg x 3
60kg x 2
70kg 3x2

Squat:
60kg x 5; 80kg x 5
100kg x 5
115kg x 5
130kg x 5
150kg x hold

Chins: 6/6/6/5
Dips: 6/4/4

Snatches felt not good, although I had the feeling of being lopsided on some reps. Focused on pulling the bar down on squats (and will continue to hammer this cue for the next weeks) and got some good reps in. I even felt like I could do 130x8, but came to far forward on the way down at number 6 and fumbled it. Despite not doing chins and dips regularly, I'm not *that* far behind, more so with dips.
 
Bench:
bar x 10; 50kg x 5
75kg x 5
87.5kg x 5
100kg x 5
80kg 3x6

RDF: 40lbs 4x12
Supported L-Sit: 4x10s
BE: 4x10

Somehow fucked my neck down to my right trap, so opted out of doing pulls.
Rest was fine, neck gets better by the hour.
 
Deadlift:
60kg x 5; 100kg x 5
130kg x 5
150kg x 5
170kg x 5

OHP:
bar x 10; 40 x 5
50kg x 5
57.5kg x 5
65kg x 8 (PR)
50kg 3x6

Front Squat: 80kg 4x6
Facepulls: 45lbs 4x15
Pushdowns: 45lbs 4x12
Hammer Curls: 12kg 4x10

Main lifts were solid, I'm curious to what I can pull next week. Didn't increase weights on front squats due to my left quad cramping since thursday.
 
Power Snatch:
bar x 5; 40kg x 3
60kg x 2
70kg x 1
75kg 2x1

Squat:
60kg x 5; 90kg x 5
115kg x 5
130kg x 3
145kg x 3
180kg x hold
120kg x 5

Chins: 8/8/6+2

Had a cup of coffee and a 200mg tablet of caffeine beforehand, made getting back to squatting at 8 AM somewhat easier.
 
Bench:
bar x 10; 50kg x 5; 70kg x 5
90kg x 5
100kg x 3
110kg x 3+F
90kg 3x5

SGDL: 60kg x 5; 90kg x 3; 120kg 4x6
RDF: 45lbs 3x12
Supported L-Sit: 4x15s

Brought my bench game today, the easy triple was a tied PR but misgrooved and dumped the next. Rest was okay, I think I'm changing subbing SGDL out for shrugs and back extension or GHR (if I can get the setup I thought up to work).
 
Deadlift:
60kg x 5; 90kg x 5; 120kg x 3
150kg x 5
170kg x 3
190kg x 5 (PR) (mixed grip)

OHP:
bar x 10; 40 x 5; 50kg x 3
57.5kg x 5
65kg x 3
72.5kg x 1
82.5kg x 1 (PR)
60kg x 8

Front Squat:
90kg 4x6

As I get depressed everytime I go out to party for no apparent reason, so I needed to do something after the (honestly nice) evening at a great bar yesterday. Had to switch to mixed grip after two reps with 190 because of acute weakness. The 82.5 press went up not that bad, but I think I scared the dude next to me with my wildbeast grunt. I was done at this point, but didn't want to completely puss out, so I squeezed out the planned front squats.
 
Nice work. You've equalled my best OHP, but 190kg x 5 on deadlift completely blows me out of the water.
 
BJJ
So good to be back on the mat, had a good time today. Lungs held up, rolling went fine, I feel pretty good now, albeit a bit tired (due to watching Spectre last night and only getting ~5h of sleep after that).

Thanks man, I can't squat or bench for shit, but steady work has done good things for my OHP.
And if there is one lift I can go hard in the paint, it's the deadlift.
 
Good job, Kotov. Making all kindz of gainz, all kiiiiiiindzz.
 
Power Snatch:
bar x 5; 50kg x 3
65kg 5x3

Squat:
65kg x 5; 90kg x 3
105kg x 3
120kg x 3
135kg x 3
180kg x hold

Chins: 8/6+2/6+2

Good session, reps were crisp, although I could feel saturdays workout in my hamstrings and back. It seems somewhere between the last haka of the world cup and daily vitamin D my T-levels have bounced back.

Aye, m8. Smells like progress, init?
 
Bench:
bar x 10; 50kg x 5; 70kg x 3
80kg x 3
90kg x 3
100kg x 5
80kg 3x5

Shrugs:
140kg 2x5
160kg 2x5
180kg x 5

Supported L-Sit: 2x30s
(one leg off the ground for 15s, then switch)

Although slightly hungover, another solid session. After some inital problems with shoulder position on the bench, I put out my best bench reps ever. The shrugs were basically just feeler sets, I need to do most of my sets at at least 180kg. So I'll basically follow the Chaos and Pain adage: Anything under 4 plates and over 5 reps is not a shrug.

I'm curious to the effect these will have on my other pulls and overall yokedness. Secondary would be a injury prevention: The only lingering ache I have is tightness in the neck muscles, lots of cracking and rarely some pain. I might be able to stave some of that off with greater shock absorption (bigger traps and neck), if I can train without making it worse in the process.
 
BJJ
lots of work on shin cross passing from open guard (with or without knee in)

Conditioning is catching up, I get better at not quitting.
 
Deadlift:
60kg x 5; 100kg x 5
140kgx 3
160kg x 3
180kg x 3

OHP:
bar x 10; 40 x 5
55kg x 3
62.5kg x 3
70kg x 3

I'm feeling the fatigue building up, tomorrows rest day will come in handy. Sadly had to cut the session short, pulled something in my upper back (feels like my right rhomboid) and had trouble inhaling and bending over. Sucks right now, but will probably gone tomorrow.
 
You need a good woman with a nice pair of perky bewbs and a big ass to give your back a good rub. That or a foam roller might do.
 
BJJ
continuing the same drills of the last weeks

Didn't feel like I would die today, but I need to push myself harder.

I'll prefer option A, but right now it looks like it's going to be the foam roller.
