Congrats! Did the weights feel heavy? I'm planning to go back this week too but I did nothing the last four months, so it's gonna be interesting!

COVID-19 has increased gravity. Scienticians are stumped but it is the case.

Well my own "gravity" has definitely increased and I'm pretty sure I know why :o

Living vicariously through your DOMS bluey!

Weights were ok - hopefully a few more medium sessions and I'll be back up. wanted to go spinning again this evening but work! Hopefully tomorrow is the next one

Light again but harder than id like

75kg Tempo squat doubles
40kg bench 5x5

Need shoulder mobility and focus on my heels again
Forgot my earphones so couldn't do cardio what a tragedy

Mobility work, squats, benching, spinning
Think the mob stuff helped.

Missed a lot last week with work but back on the wagon

Please tell me this isn't jiu jitsu snobbery?

Or worse again, JJ hipstery. "I did jiu jitsu when it was traditional"

Nic just asked if it was Brazilian or "actual"
I didn't know this was a whole thing!!

Mr. CooL ICE

If I recall correctly, BJJ is a pure grappling derivation of Judo. Judo is the throws and grappling of Japanese JJ, and Japanese JJ is just a fighting system combining everything, including strikes. Karate is like the striking derivation of JJJ.

Brazilian Judo would probably be a better name. But that kind of thing could start wars.

There are so many cool martial arts.

I've wanted to do Pencak Silat since I watched The Raid.

Taekwondo is pretty much 'the art of kicking and punching' in Korean. Doesn't make it sound all that fancy

No snobbery. From my experience I’ve known a few guys who did both. Japanese jj now days is regarded as softer and more drill oriented. Bjj is more effective when it comes to grappling

How is your strength levels comparing to before lockdown? I'm still on linear progression, which is awesome, after 6 weeks in the gym but sure, that'll stop soon. I'm working on regaining my previous strength in 3 lifts: DL, BP and OHP.

No squat?

god it's been a month since i updated this.
been lifting but not logging. still on light squats working on heels. deadlifts trying to get form back a bit as well. all rebuilding

don't know 100% how my strength is but 110kg deadlift is still grand. belt is definitely tighter going to work on that as i refuse to add a notch :pac:
usually after a gap in training endurance is down but strength same, now it's both.

j@utis

I hit the wall after 8 weeks of linear [almost] progression. It was fun. My endurance is up because I took up cycling during lockdown but strength went although body weight remained the same which = more body fat :mad:



sorry for hijacking your thread, I won't do that again. Great DL numbers, btw!

I'll try logging more consistently again

Squat
Plan: 57.5 3x5
Reality: 50kg 4x5 with first 2 sets tempo pause. It felt heavy at the start but I didn't warm up properly I guess. Lighter towards the end

Bench 37.5kg 3 x 4/fail = 9,9,8,7

Soooo weak

Spinning after. Lots of spinning. Lockdown weight to fight

@310

Gym 17 09 day 2

Deadlifts 100kg 4x2
X x x x

Tempo Bench @310
3x5 @ 6 rpe
37.5 kg xxx


Leg press in women's room

I know you do The Trip - have you ever tried Sprint? V short but.... Jaysus :eek:

I haven't actually. Is it all speed? I like how trip is a mix of speed and heavy resistance. I definitely need work on the speed bits

caviardreams

No some tracks are climbs, power climbs etc. or combos, but the rests are teeny tiny, even between tracks (like 20 seconds). I tell myself "sure it's a quick warm up track and only 4 songs - it'll be grand" :eek::eek::eek:

The visuals makes the trip look very cool though - if only I had a big enough TV

Squat
60kg (or maybe 55 I don't know about that bar) 5x4
Getting back into it. Need to stop talking about ankle stretches and do them again
Bench 35kg (now that did feel heavy enough) 5x7

Leg Extension 40kg 3x8

Treadmill intervals 15 mins only bc lazy/bored
