Sq

30/6 - 8/7/20 by Muhammad Amir Ayub

Still training with deload numbers that feel like usual training numbers at the moment. Key areas of weakness: grip, vertical pulling and pushing, quads. And I’m severely sore after all sessions, making recovery before the next session an issue. I’ve been going back to consistently take my magnesium/vit c, and the good side is that it has “fixed” my insomnia to becoming “need super amounts of sleep”.

Deadlift: No changes
DL - up to 3 x 127.5 kg x 5
Power clean - 60 kg x 3, with reverse lunges (2 each leg)
Pushup plank with alternating elbow touches, 10 kg on back - 3 x 26

Bench: No changes
BP - up to 3 x 67.5 kg x 5
Inverted Rows on Smith Machine - 3 x 13, 2 x 12 (I think). TRX decommissioned for now as it stands in the way of COVID-related distancing in the gym
Standing DB Press - 5 x 10 x 16 kg. Failed some reps on the left side

Squat: Did better by completing what I intended to do
Squat - up to 5 x 90 kg x 5
Single Leg Deadlifts - 3 x 15 x 20 kg
Side Planks with 8 kg DB External Rotations - 3 x 5 sec each side

Military Press: Was extremely sore after squatting and tried to push in a session the next day for scheduling reasons. Bad idea. Fucked up the pullups badly.
Pullups - 3 x 5, 3 x 4, 1 x 3
Standing DB Press - 7 x 16 kg x 5
Lat pulldown Iso Holds - 3 x 20 (?)

Damn.
