29/7 - 11/8/20 / by Muhammad Amir Ayub

Getting stronger with the lower limb lifts but need to probably focus on pushing as my shoulders are weak, look weak, and perform weak AF.

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). Forgot that I did these the last “week” with 60 kg’s and initially tried and failed with 70kg. Going back to 75 may take a year if ever.
Pushup plank with alternating elbow touches, 10 kg on back - 3 x 26

Bench: No opportunity to bench so made the best of it. The TRX is available again, so I’m happy about that
Inverted Rows on TRX - 3 x 12, 1 x 11, 1 x 7. Not too bad considering I have not done these in 4-5 months.
Standing DB Press - 5 x 10 x 16 kg.

Squat: No issues finishing things but definitely gassed out. Pathetic.
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 - 1 x 8, 2 x 7 each side

Military Press: No improvements doing the pullups at the moment.
Pullups - 3 x 6, 2 x 5, 5 x 3
Standing DB Press - 7 x 16 kg x 5
10 kg weighted pushups 3 x 5

The fact that the gym closes early (10 pm) during the RMCO means that it has been a war to just reach the gym. And the gym’s getting fuller (but not cramped), making it harder for me to actually use the equipment/area I want at times and be forced to wait in line. And so far it has been impossible to use the power rack to do bench presses instead of the true press station (as I can’t protect myself, and the alignment of the bench is off to a small angle). This while gym time is limited (so far they only have 75 minute booking sessions for those that end at 10 pm).

I’ve no idea if I should keep waiting to go back to old weights or just bite the bullet and reset my numbers and rebuild from the ground up.
