Ok pressing, had a stomach bug again and spent 9 hours in the foetal position earlier today but shook it off long enough to complete this. Cut the assistance work as i’m doing the double session tomorrow.

Slightly poor pressing as I fumbled getting the bar to my shoulders. Might start taking it off a rack instead of cleaning it to the starting position. Assistance work was fine, my diet’s been poor over the last week but i’m home now so no excuses for eating chocolate bars! (have eaten at least 20 of them last week)

I really dislike the first few weeks coming back into full training as i’m battling doms, I don’t know how much to increase it each week as I don’t know what my body is capable of, and I struggle with things I know will be beneath me in a months time. I’m also 151lbs as I haven’t been eating properly since February.

Box Shuttle Run (6 mins rest) – On a football (soccer) pitch, start in corner of 18 yard box and go diagonal, short side, diagonal, short side, I reckon it’s about 100m but could be way off

20.16 secs, 19.70 secs, 19.54 secs

Double Suicides (6 mins rest)- 18 yard box and back x 2, recovery = time it takes to do that, halfway line and back x 2, recovery of that time, full pitch and back x 2. Stop clock. As an example the first run is 3 mins 48 but included 20 and 48 seconds recovery, so 2 mins 40 of actual running.

3 mins 48 secs, 3 mins 38 secs.

Tempo – Run the length, walk the width x 8 average of 15.8 secs per run.

1 mile run/warm down – 7 mins 25 secs

That was the perfect amount of running, though i’m sure my calves will disagree tomorrow. I hope the explanations aren’t confusing. I lifted them off a pre-season training web site for football and adapted them slightly to fit me. The mile run is a nice marker to see how fit I am and how much the session took out of me. It’s not flat out but i’m conscious of the time and maintaining the speed round and it does get me out of breath.

Don’t let me do my first rep with girls watching, I will always try to show off even if it’s tempo. Ruined my legs with that first run and they felt heavy and tight for the rest of the session.

Hit my head on the 2nd set of pullups and had to stop… idiot. Ok that was a good workout, struggled on shoulder press and curls but those aren’t getting any heavier so if I can keep up consistent training it should be a breeze.

Bit of Pantera and Korn’s Twisted Transistor gave me some adrenaline to get through this. Worked on technique in cleans and getting a controlled full depth squat. Finished with glute/HS raises, really felt these and hopefully it’ll give my posterior chain some extra strength.

Not sure why I moved the cone, guess I get frustrated when I know i’m half a second off my best so I changed it up to a distance i’d never run. Rest period was too short but even my first run totally fresh I ran the exact same time as my easy-fast-easy runs which makes me think I only have one gear and completely lack top speed. I’m expecting a jump in times as I see it being a co-ordination issue and it will click again and I can sprint with proper technique as it’s currently very laboured and lacking intensity.

One of my hardest final reps on squats but I surprised myself by not panicking or rocking out of position and I just eased the weight up. Think i’m adjusting to these weights and not getting intimidated by the numbers.

Awful conditions at the track, there was a big headwind and driving rain which I feel helped me work on my determination as I knew my fitness is lacking and the times would be poor.
