Raw Deadlifting
Anyone else deadlift completely raw? No belt/straps/wraps, just hook grip & chalk. I even avoid switch grip, as I’ve seen bicep tears on the underhand side. I feel like if you can’t lift it raw, your body shouldn’t be doing it.

Lets go!

4th session of 225kg shrugs, only 1 more time to check off before allowed to return to adding weight. Feels better after extra 2d rest because deadlift 5d ago kind of made my back feel a little fatigued from the isometric hold. Hopefully shrugs will help my deadlift in a fortnight's time too.

I was happy my right bicep was able to hit a new +1.25kg🏆PR, but my left bicep only just hit it's PR for a single at the end of last session. My right is starting to runaway from my left again (+2.5kg gap), and my left wasn't even keeping up with the volume confidently.
But since I won't be training biceps until 4w later, I had to make sure my left matches my right's volume at least, need to give my left something to recover from💪

I need to ask maxpump how they set up their Bulgarian lunges because my rear support foot keeps slipping. I think I have to lunge forward so the rear support leg doesn't bend so much. I'm quite unhappy after watching the replay.
But if I can lunge correctly, I really hope this accessory exercise boosts my squat...

Added new movement to my program, which is now an 18d microcycle 😅. I've always neglected pronation and supination, so will help resist injury and support my pushing and pulling, but also add an extra rest day for legs.

I imagined I could get another PR🏆 today but my right arm wasn't as confident in practice as I imagined. My left arm did add +1.25kg🏆 but for 1 rep🤭 still counts right? 😁
12d
I had a sudden drop in strength and took me my usual 3 sets to troubleshoot the problem. I managed to squeeze a 4th set out for my right wrist, but I wouldn't have increased anything on my left if I didn't push for a 5th set on my left wrist.
In the end, left wrist neither declined or improved, but total overall volume was more. Next time I'll shoot for straight sets of 5 reps at 17.5kg as intended for today.

I'm refraining from complaining about not having immediate DOMS because thrice previous times I trained leg curls in Powerhouse I eventually felt DOMS in the week following. I should've gone harder last time, so I decided not to repeat the same mistake.
Instead of +1.25kg increments, I went to +2.5kg increments, increasing a total of +7.5kg🏆 before running out of electricity. I typed the wrong weight in the video, I started at 105kg going to 107.5kg, 110kg, and finally 112.5kg. Next time I'm starting at 112.5kg.
27d
I felt happy I successfully moved a new +2.5kg🏆PR, but felt offended a couple of young people had the idea to mog me with +7.5kg and +22.5kg more using the lying technique without curling all the way or pausing; instead of sitting forward and curling all the way and pausing.
So I added a little more and more again increasing +5kg🏆 in total for the day when I should stick to my injury prevention rule of only +2.5kg increments each session. Technical difficulty level mogs weight anyway 😌

I tried single leg in the machine with the best ROM but with less volume, so that burning exploding feeling is just not part of the equation. At least I can put tension on the patella tendon.

Wrist pronator cramps almost discouraged me from adding weight, but luckily pronation came out ok, adding weight thrice 🏆🏆🏆!
I didn't expect supination to be so much harder, i added weight but it was such a painful process just from rope bruising and the toll on the bones still being a new movement.
17d
Today wasn't a huge PR jump, but +1.25kg🏆 is still a PR, and 3-4 sets with the new PR weight is a solid PR performance. I'm dying off in the 4th and 5th sets, losing a rep, but I will be able to add another +1.25kg🏆 next time😌

I heard so many great things about belt squat, and I'll only know by personal experience; but definitely not worth the hype. I couldn't reach my max weight in time because i started too light. Wasn't surprised to get acute knee pain on the 6th set prematurely finishing my workout.
Should I try the moving hack squat or return to barbell...

Complete conversion to behind the neck press meant slightly decreased weight because no anterior deltoids or chest, pure medial and rear deltoids and upper back complex. Wasn't immediate soreness like 2.5w ago but I shouldn't speak so soon and wait until tonight or tomorrow for indicators.
I wore a DBZ shirt that my cute niece says is Elsa blue 🩵🤭 Motivated by amassing my spirit bomb made me look forward and really enjoy today's workout. Also wanted to put a smile on a few gym bros' face, particularly Josh😁

I had to change setup from lying on my chest to back because my hamstrings cramp so hard. But lying on my back seems much easier... I guess this is the way I need to setup from now. I can always use dumbbells to test.

Slowly but surely
Week seven after a two year hiatus, worked through soreness, quit vaping and binge drinking, and I’m feeling strong again. Hoping to stay consistent this time.
