    Week 1, Day 2

    Friday 13.11.20

    Bodyweight 92.9kg


    Circuit
    4 Chins, 10 V-sits, 10 20kg Bag Thrusters
    8 or 9 rounds (lost count) in 30 min

    Tried to not let my HR drop below 150. Max was about 180



    Notes
    Weight is coming down. Actually managing to enjoy this training so far, I think focussing on heart rate & time goals makes it a lot more fun. Also nice to think I am developing some other areas which will keep my healthy and benefit me in the long run.

    It's also nice to be able to train from home again.

    Notes
    Fun session. Enjoyed watching how my heart rate changes on different exercises.

    I have a slight strain in my left pec from press-ups on Monday. I avoided doing anything that cause pain, but the press-ups and dips negatives didn't aggravate it. Hopefully doing higher rep work just lets it heal while also training.

    Warm up
    Max air squats in 5 min
    116


    Circuit
    Max rounds in 30 min
    8 Burpees

    Notes
    The circuit was very tough. Really thought I was going to puke around the 23 minute mark but it passed and I managed to get it finished.

    My aim on the circuit was to do work to rest 3:1 ratio and for my average HR to be above 153. So I did pretty well there.

    Really interested in you filming one of your circuits (srs)

    Im getting a lot of idea's from yours to use in my own conditioning training


    Things like squat jumps, are you jumping onto a box and lifting your legs, or are you doing more of a vertical height jump and keeping your legs straight?

    As I don't have a box at home I'm not using box jumps, I think they are one of the less stressful Plyo movements as they have a soft landing. I also don't have do broad jumps as I have no space in my flat.

    For squat jumps I squat to full depth, then jump as high as possible. I think depth jumps are some of the most physically taxing. I currently do; single leg hop jumps, single leg split jumps (like in a Bulgarian squat position), squat jumps, lunge jumps and depth jumps.

    My coach said they're good to use during lockdown as they recruit a lot of muscle without weights.

    I have also walked 10k steps per day on average this week (just through work and walking with my wife). Probably the most active week of my life.

    Week 3, Day 5

    Tues 01.12.20

    Bodyweight 90.9kg
    Down from 96.6kg 4 and a half weeks ago. Although I think I was pretty damn bloated at that weigh in. Either way I am looking/feeling leaner which is great. Going to diet for 1 more week then sit at maintenance for 3-4 weeks then diet again for 4-6 weeks. Hopefully then I will be between 15-20% BF and can do some nice slow weight gain with some small diets in-between.



    Circuit
    2 mins max reps each exercise. Trying to keep HR high
    Chins
    Lunges 20kg bag
    V-sits
    Dips
    Pistol squats to sofa
    Floor-to-overhead 20kg bag
    Heel-taps

    Time: 42 mins
    Average HR: 143
    Max HR: 177




    Notes
    Gyms in the UK are opening again tomorrow. Worsley told me to do 'fun' training for the rest of the week and get started again properly on Monday. I will some lighter volume to reduce the likely horrific DOMS I am going to experience.

    I pussied out on doing my front squats last training cycle and replaced them with a machine. Front squat will likely always be an exercise I'm terrible at, but I still want to improve it.

    I like to pussy out on Front Squats too, i dont have the wrist flexibility (4 fractures) to hold the clean position so i do the cross arm style, but even that feels like ass too

    What i like to do is use the Safety Squat bar with heel'ed shoes if you have them, from everything ive read and i anecdotally believe its achieving the same result, but much more comfortable

    I would definitely use SSB if it was my main assistant movement. I'm mostly using it as a bodybuilding movement and to work on some weak points. That's the reason it's done straight after competition squats. I think that's one of the main reasons my coach uses them for that purpose, as I am obviously very limited by how much weight I can use.

    My gym does have an SSB and it pains me not to use and instead do a lift I hate.

    Notes
    My gym was closed Monday as one of the owners very sadly passed away from Covid at quite a young age of 31. He was a successful strongman, came fifth at Europeans this year. RIP to Aaron Page. I didn't know the man well, but he was always helpful and approachable.

    I am away for 3 days this week and working this weekend. So I'll only have 2 days I can actually get into the gym this week. Gym doesn't open early/late enough for me to get in at the weekend.

    So I'm repeating the first week of my training block (as the weights were light anyway after our lockdown) and squeezing as many of the barbell movements as I can into 2 days. I can do some stuff at home. So the week will be a productive one over all.

    Notes
    UK is very likely going back into full lockdown next week or the week after. So it will be back to conditioning work again.

    Obviously this isn't optimal. But I think it will be beneficial to me in the long run, especially given I have very little athletic background. Need to look on the bright side..

    40 x 8
    50 x 7 x 3


    Notes
    Trying to work on my symmetry a bit on squats/front squats. Not looking too bad, still rotating slightly on my low bar squats though. Difficult to fix, think perhaps due to my scoliosis it's the best it'll get. But I'll still keep trying to improve.

    Week 1, Day 1 - Conditioning/plyo at home

    The UK didn't last long between lockdowns. I couldn't finish out my training week as I was planning on training the weekend and we went into lockdown on the 26th. I let my emotions get the better of me and didn't finish my training week, just ate loads of food.

    The UK likely won't be out of lockdown for a couple of months. So I will just work on my conditioning and lean out.



    Weds 30.12.20

    Warm up: Max press-ups and air squats in 5 min. 40 of each. Not good

    Circuit 1 (1:30 rest or until heart rate goes below 130)
    Squat Jumps x 8
    Dips x 10
    Hip Raises x 18
    x 4 rounds

    Circuit 2 (1:30 rest or until heart rate goes below 130)
    Depth Jumps x 8
    Inverted Row x 11
    Half-sits x 15
    x 4 rounds

    Circuit 3 (1:30 rest or until heart rate goes below 130)
    Side Lunges x 8 per leg
    Tempo Dips 8-1-0 BW x 8
    Copenhagen Raises x 8 per side
    x 3

    Time: 55:06
    Average HR: 141


    Notes
    I've added in the side lunges and Copenhagen raises to try and address some mobility issues and strengthen my adductors. I've read the research that Copenhagen's reduced adductor injuries, but the research was done on soccer/basketball players I think, so likely it won't have much of an impact. Can't hurt to try though.

    Week 1, Day 2 + 3

    Had to work an extra 14hr shift this week so added an extra rest day. I had my Covid vaccine during my shift which left me pretty wiped out too. I am not good with needles.


    W1D2 - Thursday 31.12.20

    Conditioning
    Circuit training
    45 minutes, Average HR 144


    W1D3 - Sunday 03.01.21
    Plyo
    Did 15 minutes then strained my neck, couldn't move my head without a lot of pain. Just a small strain I think because I didn't warm up enough. I was still feeling very run down and haven't slept great the past few days.


    Cardio this week
    3 hours 30 minutes Road Cycling, HR average about 140-145

    Week 2, Day 1

    Weds 06.01.21

    Conditioning

    Circuit 1
    Max reps in 2 mins of each:
    Split squats 20kg bag
    Chins
    Thrusters 20kg bag
    Core exercise
    X 4 rounds

    Circuit 2
    Max reps in 2 mins of each:
    Front Squats 20kg bag
    Dips
    Inverted Row
    X 2 rounds

    44 mins total
    Average HR 157


    Road Cycling

    Notes
    Trying to start this conditioning block off heavier than the last one.

    With just 4 weeks between the blocks my average HR seems to have gone way up. That was despite still cycling hard for 3hr a week during the 4 weeks of powerlifting. Seems the fitness doesn't stay easily.
