Approved Log My Training Log - Another old man trying to live life as a young man

Could be mental, could be physical or probably a bit of both. I’d say finish the cycle strong if you can, but next block maybe trial dropping reps slightly and adding a bit of weight, or even reduce the number working sets. You’re clearly pushing hard so a little deload or structure tweak could help keep progress moving without frying yourself.

I'd say the same... flip your style, change the stimulus and see what hits.

Well there may be more to my foot pain than expected, had to go for an MRI this morning.

So as for changing the stimulus, I had to mix up today's training so as to load the front of my feet. So no deadlifts today.

Took some inspiration from @trespassing_minds from his high rep workout. Legs were seriously burning, haven't had this for a long time, so great to mix it up.

First time I've added abs in, thought I'd better do a few easy sessions before jumping in back to toes to bar.

Yep you sure did, good example of why it's great that we all blog our activities. Legs were good enough to train Muay Thai in the evening, and were fine for parkrun on Saturday. I think I need to do the same but finish with drop sets to really kill them.

Killer session today, 1h 53min. 45min of that was just squatting, I'm not sure with the weight/volume I can cut the rest period any further. But just when I thought I wouldn't be able to put any more weight on my squats I managed to add on 5kg and smash out he same reps. Maybe it was just phycological as the high rep leg training last week got me through today. Looking forward to finally repping out three plates. Best news for me my predicted 1RM hit 180kg, I'd be stuck around 177 for a long time. I haven't tried lifting more than 150, with my age I'm not sure whether it's worth the risk to train low reps to find out.

My lunch today was left over kids Mexican enchiladas from yesterday. Not one to speak about.
