Nah, I can't run three programs [Push/Pull+HLM now] at the same time, that's way too complicated. I have no deadlines to hit, so it doesn't matter when I get there.

Wrong time of the month for lifting heavy. Barely got those 117.5kg of the floor, took 2.5kg off and still 3reps were not happening, did 2s, and left it few reps short of 24 (8x3). My back felt completely battered after DLs, I didn't want to put any more weight on it, so did some-nothing-easy exercises in suppersets and called it a day.

Thanks, JJayoo. My upper body progresses quite easy but my legs look like I don't lift at all.

I will do conventional DLs first next time - I felt fatigued already doing first sets of c.DLs. During last set of DLs my hair, which is very long and lovely (not), managed to get caught in my armpit (wtf?) and I was effectively pulling my hair out at the same as I was pulling the bar up.

"light-pull" day today with some of yesterdays' leftovers - I went running intervals on Sunday afternoon and over did it, really by quite a bit - I got up on Monday morning with my left hip completely shot, so I couldn't squat yesterday and tried to catch up today by sacrificing some DL variation [my left thigh still isn't right and my clever brain has found a way to compensate through my left hip. I'm seeing physio tomorrow].

"heavy-pull" mishap earlier today. sitting now with busted back on top of hamstring injury, ok it's just tight very tight left hamstring according to physio and my back is only half way as bad as it could've been, i.e. I can walk normal, so it'll be back to normal in couple of days. and this is what happened:

FitNotes Workout - Saturday 30th June 2018
Total Volume: 7,233 kgs

Back shot

** Deadlift **
- 50.0 kgs x 10 reps [Plan 117.5kg 8x3]
- 70.0 kgs x 8 reps
- 90.0 kgs x 6 reps
- 110.0 kgs x 3 reps
- 125.0 kgs x 2 reps [PR Reps] [What's 110+7.5+7.5??? STUPID]
- 125.0 kgs x 2 reps [Still stupid. Gosh why it's soooo heavy]
- 125.0 kgs x 2 reps [This is impossibly heavy. No... Wait. STUPID!!!!!]
- 117.5 kgs x 2 reps [Nah my back is really not happy now. Abandon all plans.]

** Pull Up **
- 8 reps [Parallel grip]
- 7 reps
- 7 reps
- 6 reps
- 6 reps

** Good Morning **
- 20.0 kgs x 14 reps x4

** Dumbbell Row **
- 20.0 kgs x 10 reps x2
- 22.5 kgs x 10 reps x2
- 25.0 kgs x 10 reps [PR] [Reps] x2

** Lying Leg Curl Machine Unilateral **
- 15.0 kgs x 12 reps
- 20.0 kgs x 12 reps x4

** Cable Kickback **
- 10.0 kgs x 14 reps x3

** Rear Delt DB Row **
- 8.0 kgs x 12 reps x3

So, after warming up with 110kg, I went to get another 7.5kg to make it 117.5 as planned and... I grabbed 7.5kg [5+2.5] into each of my hands which resulted with 125kg on the bar. I only realized my mistake when I decided to drop to 115kg because I couldn't manage more than 2 reps with "117.5". Lowered weight to 117.5, first set and I felt a twitch in my lower back on lockout and that was it. This happened to me before, when I wanted to add another 5kg on and ended up with 10=5+5 but I didn't pick up an injury that time

I thought I had this mentioned here before: I'm doing hybrid of Push-Pull split crossed together with Heavy-Light-Medium [90/70/80%] routine. It works very well for me.

Very good. I couldn't understand what was going on. How long are you lifting?

The payoff is not being as decrepit in 30 years time because of the workouts.


At least that's what I tell myself....

j@utis

It' my ultimate goal too but the way it's going I'm starting to doubt that. I might be able to lift a glass of wine at that age and that'll be it.
