    You have no business having no doms after that workout!

    Bluewolf has been training while you haven't. You'd get DOMS from noting 17 reps in your log.

    Dancing with a heavy barbell is always dangerous, not only just before squatting.

    Ah here. You always do this. I hate you.:P:P:P

    Go from squatting 70kg to lashing out a 100kg just like that. As if it is NOTHING. Just like brushing your teeth before bed like.

    You have magic legs!

    Twisted my knee or something at the weekend
    Niggled before squats yesterday while warming up but was fine squatting. Woke up with a pretty sore knee this morning. RICE and ibup seem to have done the job. Think I'm getting old
    I didn't want to lift today, wanted to read my new book and sit around eating cookies and being tired but decided to at least try

    New prog w1d2 18 11

    Deadlift10x1 7 RPE
    104kg xxx xxx xxx x
    CONV DEADLIFTS ARE EASY AGAIN
    All my old cues came back to me again and after the first couple singles it was so easy. My back was actually sore before I started, just when setting up and stuff and I was dreading it but absolutely zero back issues once I got cracking. Yaaaaas. It has taken a while to get back to normal deadlift feeling after the first lockdown but I'm back

    Tempo Bench @310 5x3 6 RPE
    40kg xxxxx
    Prob shouldn't be doing tempo heavier than normal but for sets of 3 it was easy too

    Tricep Extension 2x3/fail 8 - 15 did 3 sets 3x12
    Vrt Row of choice3x3/fail 8 - 15 12,12,12

    RPE @ end of sets was "oh jesus christ'

    Slightly harder than yest maybe but grand
    Rest again tomorrow. Looking forward to the deadlifts next week. What?

    Myo-reps involve first performing an “activation” set, where a relatively lower load is lifted to near-failure, typically in the 12-30 repetition range. Then, a series of lower-rep “back-off” sets are completed with the same weight, e.g., 3-5 reps. These sets are repeated using 20-30 second rest intervals until the individual can no longer complete the targeted number of reps.



    Edit: on second thought I think my arms are falling off

    Very happy with deadlifts. Soon I will be able to stroll around casually picking up 145kg again. It still takes a few goes to focus on setup and concentrate hard before I lock in the cues a bit more naturally but it's going well. 100% in the legs again

    I was eyeing up the blkbox 10kg bumpers on sale yesterday but didn't get them. Now they are sold out. I was very sad. Soooo I bought the 25kg ones as they were the only ones left and reduced price. So now I can lift up to 174kg! In theory like. Deadlifts have been going well so will be good to push them some more
    Still on the lookout for fractional plates but they are sold out or mad money
