4/2/2020 Block 1, week 7 GSLP/Black MS Bench press: 160 x 2 x 5, 160 x 1 x 8 Deadlift: 205 x 1 x 5 Picked something up awkwardly at work yesterday, and felt a twinge in my back. Decided to play it conservative on the DL today. Warm-up went ok, the first five reps of the working set felt ok but a bit...

HIC

Apex Hills, 32kg x 5

Felt good! Farmer's carry on the way out, alternating sides suitcase carry on the way back.

3/31/2020 Block 1, Week 7 GSLP/Black MS Squats: 175 x 2 x 5, 175 x 1 x 8 OHP: 105 x 2 x 5, 105 x 1 x 7 Assisted Scapular Pulls: 1x8 Realized shoulder likely hurt on Chinup Negatives due to lack of back strength. I'll be stepping further back in the pullup progression exercises, so that I learn to do...

3/28/2020 Block 1, week 6 GSLP/Black MS Bench press: 155 x 2 x 5, 155 x 1 x 10 Squats: 170 x 2 x 5, 170 x 1 x 6 Swings: 32kg x 1 x 10 Broke through my squat reset number, and swung my new kettlebell. Good day! I can already feel that the 32kg 'bell will push my technique further. I'll try a TGU with...

HIC - Hill Sprints x 2

Easy week training - mostly to keep in the habit of training this day. Legs felt tired.

3/26/2020 Block 1, week 6 GSLP/Black MS OHP: 100 x 2 x 5, 100 x 1 x 5 Deadlift: 195 x 7 I feel fine, but today felt a bit off on the lifts. My OHP form started going sideways on the AMRAP set, so I called it early. The Deadlift felt ok, until I started getting dizzy at the top of the rep. I'll revie...

3/25/2020 Block 1, week 6 GSLP/Black HIC Hill Sprints x 7 Kettlebell practice x 10 minutes Sprints went well. Kettlebell swings irritate my sciatica during a flare-up, so I skipped the swings at the top of the hill today. Once I had moved around and gotten moving from all the sprints, the pain subsi...

Thanks! They're great for shifting a bit of the load from my legs to my lungs, which is what I need while I'm on a linear weight program. You could probably get most of the benefits by subbing a 100 yard/meter sprint for the hill portion. It's not quite the same, but close enough for practical purpo...

3/24/2020 Block 1, week 6 GSLP/Black MS Bench press: 150 x 2 x 5, 150 x 1 x 10 Chinup negatives: 1 x 3 Squats: 165 x 2 x 5, 165 x 1 x 8 Left shoulder still hurts on chinup negatives, so I'm dropping it for at least the remainder of this week. Bench press still feels strong, squats are ok. Been on va...

Welcome, and good luck!
