Abducted by robots

Got wiped out by too much social stuff over the weekend, checked off the presents for Christmas on Monday and got lost in distractions on Tuesday with a wonky circadian rhythm to boot. Grateful for today's sessions putting me in the right direction!


Treadmill
2km @ 9.5kmh

Light core and hip warmup

Paused DL
60*5 (paused RDL)
60*5
100*5 (paused RDL)
100*5
130*5 (paused RDL)
130*3
160*3
180*3*3 -belt-

One-armed DB rows
45*12*3
 
Treadmill
2km @ slow mixed pace

Ankles and hips felt like ass so I slowed down the pace to at least get the distance right. Felt good to adapt to the resistance instead of whiteknuckling through it, like I would have in the past, likely at the cost of the rest of the session.

Hip and core warmup

Front squat
60*5 (paused)
80*5 (paused)
100*3 (paused)
120*3
140*2
150*1 -belt-
155*1*2 -belt- NEW 1RM

Technically a new 1RM, but I've never really pushed front squats. Thought I could eek out a 160 but there was just too much cumulative stress over the past week. We'll probably focus on greasing the groove til' the holidays are over.

Paused squat
100*5*3

Paused seated DB press
17.5*10
22.5*10
25*10*3

Excellent week of training with a couple of programming and training insights. Did a caffeine detox for December that's paying dividends and thinking of solidifying a pre-workout coffees only-policy. Good stuff!
