Operator I/A 7/9.

Finally some not 5 reps sets. 6 training session in a row with only 5 reps sets is a bit boring. Maybe I should consider TB:AA suggestion of a rep more at 75% (if I recall it correctly), just for a bit of variation. Anyhoo, worked up to the following work-sets (work-sets as always supersetted with som mobility/band work):

Zercher squats 70 kg * 3 sets * 3 reps
Dumbbell military press 2 * 14 kg * 3 sets * 3 reps
Pull-downs 50 kg * 3 sets * 3 reps
Hookgrip deadlift 100 kg * 1 set * 3 reps

Operator I/A 9/9.

Used the suggestion from Ageless Athlete and used this 90% day for a rep max on the last set. Had decided that 5 reps would be my right to passage, i.e. add weight to the training max. So I didn't do more that 5 reps. Ended with:

Zercher squats 70 kg * 2, 2, 5 reps
Dumbbell standing press 2 * 16 kg * 2, 2, 5 reps
Pull-downs 60 kg * 2, 2, 5 reps
Hookgrip deadlift 110 kg * 1 set * 5 reps

My shoulder have really started to act up. I will need to think hard on what to do next. I will start a thread elsewhere on training around shoulder issues.

Football: Last practice of the Spring season. A bit of a fun practice and a bit of go through plays. 1 h 15 min helmets only.

Shoulder felt ok during practice, bit have been edgy most of the day. I will give it a bit of rest. Starting my 3rd cycle of Operator I/A tomorrow with the follow minimum cluster:
  • Zercher squat.
  • Hookgrib deadlift, 1 work-set.
Will start the Zercher squat with 3 work-sets and try to add a work-set per training session. After the strength cluster I might do some light LSS (incline walking). On none Operator days I will jog (LSS) or do some other light endurance work. All of this to recover from the football season and be fresh for some harder off-season training sessions later in the Summer.

Active rest with a walk.

Sunday June 25th 2017

Gameday. Another win. Twisted my foot, but played through it. Foot sore and it will limit my training the next couple of weeks.

Monday June 26th 2017

Light weigthlifting session. Kept the weights very low, due to the injuries (foot and shoulder):

Zercher squats 20 kg * warm-up-sets, and 3 sets * 5 reps
Hookgrib deadlift 60 kg * warm-up-sets, and 1 set * 5 reps
Standing dumbbell press 2 * 10 kg * warm-up-sets, and 3 sets * 5 reps
Pull downs 20 kg * warm-up-sets, and 3 sets * 5 reps

Did a light cardio session afterverse:

Stationary cycling: 25min, avg btm: 121.

Though I can feel the shoulder and foot, nothing feels worse than before the training. So I will do some linear progression up to the Operator weights and restart my 3rd cycle then.
