w2d2 – general fatigue

took the bike to the gym this morning. came back home before 0800. pretty good start of the day. have since spent some time in the sofa reading.

there were more people than usual at the work gym. possibly because of post-summer anxiety. their time would, probably, be better spent avoiding doing lying chest flyes in the cable machine.

legs were stiff today. I did not feel stronk as I loaded the bar. perhaps I’m getting to the point where I will no longer be able to outright smash the program (and its submaximal weights) like I have done previously?

will scout another, cheap, gym closer to home. I’m tired of rushing the lifts during normal work days. also considering joining my wife at her (slightly fancier) gym but go lift in the evenings instead.

main lift

squat, 5 / 5 / 5+. after warmup:

1. 5x 107.5 kg
2. 5x 123.5 kg
3. 8x 140 kg (5+)

still no jokers on 5+ week.

assistance lifts

good mornings

1. 10x 72.5 kg  (+10x barbell calf raise, 72.5 kg)
2. 10x 72.5 kg (+10x barbell calf raise, 72.5 kg)
3. 10x 72.5 kg (+10x barbell calf raise, 72.5 kg)
4. 10x 72.5 kg (+10x barbell calf raise, 72.5 kg)
5. 10x 72.5 kg (+10x barbell calf raise, 72.5 kg)

bands

5x 60

wheel, standing on knees

1. 15
2. 15
3. 15
4. 15
5. 15

that’s all for today.
