Self betterment through voluntary hardship.
#BLOC #Lifting
Resting 3 minutes.
Top set feeling pretty good. Rep 2 better than rep 1 as usual.
7 @ 140 on the back set.
Only the block pull today.
Very busy at work this weekend.
Rehab work done between warmup sets but forgot to record.

Resting 3 minutes.
Top set re-racked after initial un-rack felt shit.
Second attempt didn’t feel much better.
5 and 3 on the back sets @ 120.
Resting 90 seconds.
Nearly skipped this but glad I didn’t.
Still wary of some tightness in the hips on the rows so sticking at 40kg for now.
Sandbag is beginning to feel like its moving easier.
Keg – 40 – 8/8/10 (Reps)
Row – 40 – 15/14/15 (Reps)
Bag – 60 – 60/40/60 (Meters)
Very slow to get going this morning.
Liquid encouragement (coffee) kicked in after squats.
#BLOC #Lifting
Resting 2 minutes.
Lower block on these today.
No issues.
Resting 2 minutes.
All good on these.
Good stretch in the adductors.
Squat Hold – Got about a minute done. Feeling out balance and going as deep as possible.
Knees to floor – 1×10@BW – Yup… these suck. Going to be a while before these are proficient.
Deficit Calf Raise – 1×8@BW – Easy enough here. Nice stretch on the medial head here but not so much the lateral.
Kneeling Calf Raise – 1×8@BW – These hitting the lateral head more but less stretch overall.
Resting 2 minutes.
No issues on top set.
5 and 4 on the back sets @ 90 with no problems.
Think I’ll be calling Thursday Rehab day going forwards.
Feeling pretty good for an initial outing. Interested to see where this goes.
No issues with the bench PR.
#BLOC #Lifting
Resting 3 minutes.
Only 2 reps on the top set. May have gotten a third with an RPE10 effort.
Miscalculated that on this morning!
3 on the back set @ 140.
Resting 90 seconds.
Negative Chins – 1×5 @ BW
Push Press – 1×3 @ 60
Sandbag over Shoulder – 1×4 @ 60
End of lap 1 and the right glute was complaining at me so called it there.
Feeling pretty good today.
Slightly less work than I wanted this morning.
Think it might be an idea to raise the block pull back up as the glute/hip/piriformis issue seems to be returning and I don’t recall it being an issues on the higher pulls.
