Training Log Feb 14 2025

  • Push-ups 3x10
  • Pull-ups 5,5,3
  • DL 15 singles @305
  • Ab wheel 1x5

Tried to go pretty easy today as I’m feeling a bit under the weather. Meant to get 3x5 pull-ups but didn’t feel good in the moment (struggled to get fully to neck on final reps)

Training Log Feb 12 2025

  • KB Press 32kg 5,3,2,3,2 (left then right)
  • Pull-ups 2x4 with 25lb vest
  • Deadlift 6 singles @ 375 (every 30s)
  • Ab Wheel 2x5
  • KB Swings 5x10@32kg

5 presses of the 32 is a PR!

Deadlifts starting to feel hard 2 months into this singles program. Probably one more cycle of this.

Pull-ups were sloppy, I should stick to triples at this weight for now.

Swings felt really good

Training Log Feb 10 2025

  • 1 Arm KB Press: 50 reps @ 24kg (10,2,3,5,10,2,3,5,2,3,5 in 12 minutes)
  • Chin-ups 3x5

Nice easy volume press day. I’ve been doing 100 reps on these days in 30-35 minutes but I decided to try to up my reps a bit with the 10 rep sets and then take it a bit easier overall.

The chin-ups were easy bonus arm/back work.

Training Log Feb 9 2025

  • Get up 3/arm@24kg
  • Pull up 2x7@BW
  • DL 8x1@355, 1x1@425
  • Ab Wheel 1x5
  • KB Snatch 3x8/arm@24kg followed by 100M sprint

425 pull was with clean form, first time ever at that weight! I tried 455 and couldn’t get it more than an inch off the floor.

Pull-ups felt great, snatches were a bit ugly on my left arm.

The first great fact which emerges from our civilization is that today everything has become “means.” There is no longer an “end”; we do not know whither we are going. We have forgotten our collective ends, and we possess great means: we set huge machines in motion in order to arrive nowhere.

Jacque Sellul

This quote has been haunting me all weekend. It describes and explains so much of the tension in modern life.

Training Log 2-6-2025

  • 1 Arm KB Press - Ladders 1,2,3 | 1,2,3 | 1,2,3 @32kg
  • Pull ups 2x5
  • Deadlifts 12x1 @ 335

Short / Easy workout after coming back from travel.
This all felt very good, was able to do the deadlifts double overhand and could have done more pullups

Last year when I started powerlifting as my main form of exercise I set goals of being able to do

5x325 High bar squat 5x400 Deadlift 5x150 Overhead Press 5x250 Bench Press 10x body weight pull-ups (I’d never been able to do more than 2)

BP and Pull-ups are still struggling, but I’ve now managed 3/5
