I’m wondering whether I need to accept that I won’t regain lost strength from COVID-restrictions in the past, as my numbers remain fucking pathetic. This is especially true as regards to my upper body lifting numbers.
Deadlift: No changes
DL - up to 3 x 127.5 kg x 5
Power clean - 65 kg x 3, with reverse lunges (2 each leg).
Pushup plank with alternating elbow touches, 10 kg on back - 3 x 26
Bench:
BP - up to 3 x 67.5 kg x 5
Inverted Rows on TRX - 2 x 12, 1 x 7, 2 x 5. Just pathetic.
Standing DB Press - 2 x 10, 3 x 5 x 16 kg. Like the inverted rows, just pathetic.
Squat: Doing a bit more with the external rotations, so this is an improvement.
Squat - up to 5 x 90 kg x 5
Single Leg Deadlifts - 3 x 15 x 20 kg
Side Planks with 8 kg DB External Rotations - 3 x 8 each side
Military Press: No improvements doing the pullups at the moment.
Pullups - 2 x 5, 2 x 4, 3 x 2. This is worse than the previous training week
Standing DB Press - 7 x 16 kg x 5
Pushups - 3 x 10
I’m not sure if I need to fix my training/protein intake/sleep. Coffee makes me barely alive at the moment, so I think I really need to get myself enough sleep and cut down on caffeine on non-training days.
