Rain or shine, the work gets done đŞđ§ď¸
@naechann doesnât stop, and neither does protection.
Grip harder, train longer, protect instead of rip with WodnDone.đ¤
Squats today
Slow to get into it today, prolly cuz bad sleep last night, and no pre-workout todayâŚstarted getting use to using a pre.
The more sets I did the easier it got.
So much going on lately, someone said to make streetlifting secondary. But my Intention is still strong. This is one big difference between me and the average person. Make a way. Keep going. â¤ď¸âđĽ
(LAST) SATURDAY
So the brown set Iâm wearing looked like a different shade in person, but watching it back, it does look skin color đ¤
I thought I was using a 2.5 for the MUs; but it was a 5lbs plate. I got 20lbs last week but struggled with it this week. Failed most, got one.
90 and 100lbs on the pulls.
100 then 115lbs on the dips. I didnât slip. Felt a lot of pressure on my biceps going down so I gave out instead of catching it. Thatâs always been my weakest point in dips. Gotta remember to grip the bar hard, usually helps a bit.
235 pr on the squats. Finally reaching this point đŠ Did 12 sets. last set was âtoo easyâ.
THURSDAY
Getting use to rings, going throughhh the painnn of false grip. As soon as I mentally embraced it I did 3 bw reps then 2 with 10lbs. I see details I want to improve around the middle transition. But for now, priming my wrists. Going heavier on sat.
Squats were easy today at 160lbs. Been trying to stretch out a lot with the couch stretch, ATG, and other things. For Saturday I gotta find a way to relax and reduce pain in my left hip flexor and ankle, which I rolled a few weeks back (thought it was getting better but I been feeling it more lately). The two really arenât a good combo.
And then there were deadlifts at 155lbs and lunges at 150lbs.
The end.
WEDNESDAY
I stared with a small set of max MU in 30secs 3 times. Didnât record or anything, and the numbers werenât impressive lol
Pull: My arm were feeling a lil worked up from the MUs. Perfect time to do pulls. Lil heavy to start. I posted the first and last sets out of 5. Took my gloves off for the last set for a better grip. I wonder if I need to pull so my entire head is over the bar instead of just my chin đ¤
Dip: After grabbing some fruits which I ate throughout these sets, dips were feeling good today. Trying to stay right around 90 on the depths.
Pendley Rows: Was thinking âexplosiveâ and also âtry not to jerk my neck too muchâ.
Bench Press: These were feeling good today. I did get stuck trying to start in that one clip but the actual movement was fine lol I think itâs cause I did full range pushups earlier in the AM and was supersetting everything today with hspu. I felt my chest opening and closing..i guess thatâs what I shoulda been focusing on instead of uneven arms.
TUESDAY
Coming off of 2 rest days you would expect that Iâd be feeling my best, but I wasnât. Tuesdays never seem to be like that.
Squats: These were hard today. I didnât get to do the full warmup I wanted due to the rain and other things but I did stretch out a bit and work my way up to the 205lbs. First time squatting in my vevos and I actually liked it đ. But my hip flexor was not happy today. Hence me trying to shake out that leg on some of the lifts, and the slower movement towards the end.
Good mornings: 90lbs. The barbell is so uncomfortable and pushes on my neck.
Split squats are easier when you just power through.
Leg extensions with 100lbs sounds crazy. Probably would have been harder on a proper machine.
Rain eased up so I did some RMU to end it. It was tough. Wrists hurt. Felt heavy. Still need to find a way to adjust those rings so I can pull them in closer on the transition. Failed the last one.
SATURDAY pt.2
Squats: So this was my max in July, the weight I qualified with. Intimidating. I definitely fixed my dyslexia and was doing singles. The weight felt really heavy on my shoulders. It hurt actually. But of course I could lift it. Maybe 10 sets? My hip flexor was screaming though, and I was distracted by my itchy throat and stuffy nose. On the 6th lift tho. I was not locked in. Every step of the way I was distracted. I should have backed out and restarted but i kept going and, as you might hear if your audio is on, I was not happy. I found that with these squats you have to kinda activate everything together. If Iâm not locked in like that, my body tends to shift, as it did, and put a lot of strain on that hip flexor. A painful lift. Honestly, I also felt my legs cramping a bit, so I decided to do one more then call it. But the catch of course, was the last one had to be the best one. I made sure I was locked in and that last one felt goodâŚFine line. Until next time, squats.
SATURDAY
Ok Iâm caught up to yesterday.
Muscle ups: on da rings. First time doing weighted ring MUs đ started with grips to try to protect my wrists but didnât like how that felt, so through the pain it is 𼲠10lbs again, then 12.5, 15, 17.5, 20. Didnât fail any but wouldnât say it was easy. Got a lil sticky on the 20. The rings were a bit wide and more rigid the way itâs set up. I think Iâll try to adjust it for next time. Also didnât wanna try past 20, felt like it was a lot on my wrist for the first time. Next time I will though.
Pullups: I was a bit dyslexic and mixed up my set count with rep count. Was suppose to do 2 sets of singles. But since I already did 2, guess Iâll change it to 2 sets of 2. đŹ and whatâs that? 92.5lbs for 2 reps? And twice? Never done that before!
Dips: might as well keep the dyslexia for the squats as well, still pausing before each rep so theyâre like singles. After warming up with bw, 45 and 80: 2 at 95lbs, then 2 at 105lbs. Felt strong today.
Squats: I will make a separate post for squats.
THURSDAY
Waited until night to give myself more recovery time from yesterdayâs mess. It worked, I was feeling better and was in a good mood. I also had good music đđž
Squats: 160 pause squats.
Lunges: backward and forward sets with 150lbs.
ATG squats: been a while since i done these for reps and added weight was new. Felt my hips opening so I slowed the movement and tried hard to not rotate. 65lbs
Deadlift: keeping the negatives slow. 155lbs
Pendlay rows: make up from yesterday. Really didnât wanna do these. Idk what happened, I loved these at first. Guess it got harder and the bar kept rotating in my grip đ
Arnolds: 10lbs. W.eâŚLooks like i would make a good puppeteer, i can count without moving my mouth đ
Irrelevant thoughts: When Iâm alone itâs way more fun. I donât have to worry about being a certain way. I can move how I want and that makes me happy. Life is simple. Protect your happy.
WEDNESDAY
Not the best day. I was sore and not feeling the best.
Pullups: keeping it deadstop. 70lbs
Dips: These were super hard today. Usually dips are hard but Iâm able to keep it together; youâd never know unless you read it in my post. But today, it was all out in the open. I didnât even finish the last set. The way the weight was rocking my body, I had to give in.
And call it a day.
TUESDAY
Squats: the mental component has to be strong. 5 at 195lbs.
Good Mornings: slow, emphasizing the lengthening of the hamstrings, pushing down through my feet. 90lbs
Split Squats: really didnât want to do these. My legs were feeling tight. 70lbs
Leg extensions: just make it work. I love working my quads. Something bout the way they burn so good đĽ´95lbs.
