W2D3 - Friday, 12/17:
BW: 213.2
Got sick with flu-like symptoms for a few days. Tested negative for covid twice over the span of about 48 hours, so I'm fairly certain it wasn't that. If I had to guess, I'd say it was probably the actual flu. I got my flu shot back in October, so thankfully I only really felt like garbage on Tuesday (mild fever, aches, chills, congestion) but still felt off enough on Wednesday and Thursday that I didn't feel comfortable going to the gym because 1. I still felt pretty weak and achy and 2. I was still showing some symptoms so I just assumed I was probably still contagious.
SSB Good Morning:
180x10x3 @ 7-ish
Big increase in load this week. I did this session right after getting my covid booster last week, so I expected to perform better this week, but not by this much. I was using a different SSB for these than usual, so maybe its alleged weight of 70 lbs might've been a tad high.
Conventional DL, beltless:
363x10x3 @ 7-8
My gym got a couple sets of calibrated kilo plates while I was away, hence the weird load of 363 lbs (165 kg). They're beautiful, and I'm really looking forward to using them in meet prep and having one less training variable to worry about. Adjusting to kilo math and taking appropriate warmup jumps will take some time, but I'm cool with that.
Lying Hamstrings Curl:
"9" x12x3 @ 7.5-8
Hip Abduction Machine:
"10" x12x2 @ 7-ish
Hip Adduction Machine:
"14" x12x2 @ 7-ish
I'm adding a couple sets on the hip abduction and adduction machines on this day. Like the hamstrings curl machine, the stacks just have numbers. These were both a few plates away from the bottom of the stack.
Football Bar Feet Up CGBP:
155x12x2 @ 8-ish
DB Curls:
40s x12x2 @ 8-ish
