Squat, 275 6x5
OHP, 145 6x5
DL, 365 1x5
PUs, 6x5

I just want to say that the fact that your 75% squat is 275 is awesome! Not to mention the other lifts. That’s fantastic!

Haha, thanks! Although that's actually low since I am taking it easy for a bit since I've been doing front squats for so long. Don't worry--my run times are proportional (in the other direction).

Still working through some DOMS from switching to back squats, did the minimum sets there.

True! Still, training max and all that’s still very impressive.
Ah that’s fair enough, though I feel most prefer to be better in the strength department.

Yeah, I argue with myself all the time about strength training vs heart health.

Wednesday 1/18
GC6 x3

With the 56 kg bell. These first HICs after 8 weeks of Capacity have been a little rough (esp. with the heavy swings today).

Could always just up the reps, I mean, there are those that say 10 reps are cardio lol.

Yup, that used to be me--which is how I ended up struggling to do 30 minute jog/walk sessions when I started TB! Just always trying to balance what I want to do with what I should do.

Thursday 1/19
OP I/A Day 3

Squat, 275 7x5
OHP, 145 7x5
PUs, 7x5

Did all the lifting in maybe 45 minutes and felt more energetic leaving the gym than I did when I arrived. Capacity is legit.

Oh I see.
Ah that’s always the way. I seem to have the opposite issue, I always want to push conditioning work, but I’m
finding I’m appreciating strength work more than I used to.
This being said from a quick glance at your log it looks like your conditioning work is going very well.
