It's a bit mad at the moment. The home stuff was unexpected (well sort of) but I know work is going to be very busy and stressful over the next few weeks. That may result in me dialling things back a bit but in the grand scheme of things it should make much difference. I just glad my conditioning has improved, it means I can get more work done in less time.

Time was low again today but whats new there.

Band Rows
x 25 reps
x 25 reps
x 25 reps

A1 Front Squat
70kg x 8 reps
100kg x 8 reps
100kg x 8 reps --I've noticed when the reps get hard I pull on the straps harder. Today this resulted in me lifting the bar off my shoulders. That's a nice win for my triceps strength but not so good for my front squats. Ideally I want to stick with this weight but I may be forced to go a bit heavier.

A2 Kneeling Hip Extensions
x 10 reps
x 10 reps

B1 Deadlift
--Hook Grip
90kg x 3 reps
120kg x 3 reps
160kg x 1 rep
200kg x 1 rep -- All reps rapid. Steaming through these so I'd have time for the RB work.
--Reverse Bands on, Straps on, Wide Grip
265kg x 5 reps -- Heavy but easy. Wis I had the time for more sets.

B2 Facedown Incline Curls
30kg x 8 reps
30kg x 8 reps
30kg x 8 reps --Er these were super easy today. Last weeks my eyes wanted to pop out and today I wanted to load up. Was it just that I was having a bad week last week or is something else a factor.

Side note. I've noticed when using the hook grip I can now use 2 fingers to hold my thumb. I can feel a third just starting to hold but not effective yet. Once this third finger comes into play my grip should be very solid indeed. I didn't consider mobility to be a factor for hook grip but thumb mobility is clearly very important.

It's worth a go mate. Tbh though I've no idea how I've managed to increase thumb mobility. All I know is I now have more ROM and more ROM is good as it allows more fingers to wrap the thumb.

Cheers mate. I'm using front squats to not only build my quads but also to open my hips. I get tight adductors and deep front squats give them a mighty stretch.

Some good sessions mate considering how little time you have had. Good beltless squat pb and an epic black bag pb Tongue
Gonna take some beating to improve on that Grin

Cheers mate, it's gonna be peaks and troughs over the next few weeks as I have busy periods and shall we say, slightly less busy periods. I think that bag PB could be a world record.

Big IBS flair up over Saturday day night, Sunday started very suddenly and explosively. What a wake up call. All sorted now but I could eat yesterday apart from a small meal fairly late in the evening. Joy of joys.

Band Rows
x 25 reps
x 25 reps
x 25 reps -- In reality I did way more than 25 reps in each set but I was concentrating more on the movement than the numbers.

A1 Trap Bar Rows
bar x 10 reps
65kg x 10 reps
85kg x 10 reps
85kg x 10 reps
85kg x 10 reps

A2 Dead Press
bar x 10 reps
bar x 10 reps
bar x 10 reps
60kg x 6 reps
70kg x 6 reps
80kg x 6 reps -- Couldn't get the tension and thus stability need to keep the weight overhead. Definitely a side effect of the IBS. I'm a bit narked at this but at the same point I hit 80kg which is my maintenance weight so it nothing else I shouldn't go backwards. Wednesdays overhead session should mop this up anyway.

A3 Kneeling Rollouts
x 7 reps
x 7 reps
x 6 reps
x 6 reps

A4 Squats
70kg x 3 reps
120kg x 3 reps
160kg x 2 reps
200kg x 1 rep
200kg x 2 reps
200kg x 2 reps
200kg x 2 reps --Up 1 more rep this week.

I didn't video anything this time. I feel the world has seen enough videos of my arse squatting 200kg Roll-Eyes
