My training log and thoughts

 28.05.2024 Nice day. Nice workout. Thorough warmup Squats - 3 sets of 10 Wall pushups - 3 sets Incline pushups - 2 sets of 10 Cricket pushups / variation of pike pushups - 10, 15, 15+5 - actually hard Dips 30, 20 - small pr for the season 😎 hehe 15 kg bar - two sets of a short range triceps press-extension 30.05.2024 Some satisfying physical work after I had a couple coffees in the evening (loading a quad bike in and out of a truck). Kind of tiring but I felt great. Some tissues strained a little in my back. Warmup - thorough but short, but also some extra focus on lower body, hip hinge exercise variations Deadlift 15 kg bar for 3 sets of 10 Squat - same Floor supported pullups - 3 sets of 10. Tissues feel much better. Light workout, but this type is really underrated.

 21.05.2024 Lovely workout after a stressful day. Thorough warmup, a lot of wall pushups Squats 3 sets of 15 - tissues feel alright Pushups, incline (leaning on steps)  3 sets of 10 - keeping it in the easier side Cricket pushups 3 sets of 10 - decent, enjoyable Dips, added 12 kgs in weight 3 sets of 20 - small PR for the season 😎 On a first set I didn't keep my back tight and that felt quite strenuous for my pecs and shoulders, but thankfully I was able to remember how to do it right - like bench press 23.05.2024 Fatigued and tired, mostly mentally, but I still enjoyed doing it. Nice weather, moonlight and warm wind. Warmup - somewhat thorough, mostly upper body. Chinups - 3 sets of 8, low bar legs raised Overhand pullups - 3 sets of 8, eider grip, floor supported (did a little push off the ground on each rep) Didn't feel like I had enough energy to do more, so I settled for this. 25.05.2024 Mentally difficult time, despite the first half of the day yesterday being pretty st...

 15.05.2024 Nice workout. I did BW deadlifts and some more pushups. But, I admit, I got way too lazy and forgot the details. Oh, but also I did one hand waiter curls, one arm, with a pair of armor plates (around 5 kg each) 17.05.2024 Same. Forgot details. Did a very thorough warmup and a lot of upper body extra bw moves. But then the focus was on squat - 2 sets of 10 careful half squat for warmup, 2 sets of 20 normal, 2 sets of 10 (per side) split squat - a variation of it, at least. Old tissues - right inner thigh - hurt. That's cause of my left ankle. It needs to be more mobile. 19.05.2024 It is now. Feeling okay. Looking sort of worse in the mirror, but then it got better, and Isort of look okay pumped up. And the pump is fairly plentiful! Warmup - thorough, but squats left out Pullups (chinups), low bar (raised legs) 3 sets of 15 - decent. Only the last set was kind of ugly, as I stood up before the last rep. Static bicep partial pullups - you probably know what I mean. Lats an...

 11.05.2024 Thorough warmup Wall pushups 3 sets of 15 Bed pushups (incline) - same Cricket pushups - 2 sets of 15 - nice, pretty hard. 13.05.2024 Even more thorough warmup, more attention to lower body. Squat with weight in hands, whole arm flexing 22 for 10, 15, 20 reps - nice, controlled Seated one arm press 22 kg weight, similar to kettlebell now - 22 kg for 3 sets of 10, very easy, feels good. Useda more stable chair for a seat.  Remember

 08.05.2024 Really nice workout. Thorough warmup, but usually when I say this, at least back home, that means I've also done a few sets of BW squats or something similar, but here the attention to my legs has been reduced somewhat, I've only really done some general (as well as joint and muscle specific) movements, in short range. Pushups from stairs 3 sets of 15 - reminded I have some joint and tissue issues with this move, but taking it carefully and slowly worked well. Cricket pushups 3 sets of 15 really hard, I was doing the more difficult version. I like calisthenics, it's a shame I've never delved deeper in them. I think no one calls these "cricket pushups", but that's the way I remember. It's sort of like a first part of a burpee, with stiff legs; you use mostly your shoulders to go from a pushup bottom position to straight legs and straight arms touching the floor. Such a poor explanation, *sigh*. Hmm. Your arms are basically just doing OHP fro...

 02.05.2024 Nice day, as I recall Thorough warmup Superset - good mornings / squats in equipment ≈ 20 kgs, 3 sets of 15 One arm press 17 kg 3 sets of 15 - pretty hard somehow 05.05.2024 Thorough warmup Jump ups 4 sets of 10, supersetted with Chin ups 6 sets of 10 - nice, powerful As well as Full range flys - 4 sets of 15, three of them with bricks as weights Curls 15 kg bar - 10 reps and 20 more Very short breaks, overall energy sort of lacking, but very nice pump in the end. Almost forgot. Today is Easter, in our calendar. Christ Is Risen! *** RPotDs
