This didn't really feel too good,
there was something weird going on in my left knee.
But I got it done anyway. Wasn't too bad.

72.5 kg x 6r
2 - 3 minutes rest.
This was all right, not too heavy.
And as always I did a couple of sets of barbell curls
at the end of the session to help keep my elbows happy.
So all in all it was a pretty good day,
except for the knee thing.
We'll see what it's like tomorrow.

Re: “Lifting for fun...” Jan's log.
I usually do 3 - 5 sets of barbell curls EMOM, and seldom go over 30 kg. That's all that is needed to keep my elbows happy.DCR wrote: ↑Tue Apr 30, 2024 10:08 amI didn't realize that you were hitting daily curls.

Re: “Lifting for fun...” Jan's log.
@DanCR @JohnHelton thanks guys!
Out of curiosity I checked my log, and I don't think I've done a 135 kg squat since I got knee problems back in November. I didn't realize it's been that long.

No heavy single reps today, I'm thinking of maybe trying
to do five sets of doubles 2 or 3 times a week for a while and see what happens.
So today I just did some easy sets of doubles on the squat, the press and the bench.
I'll still do heavier single reps on the other days.
Squat:
20 kg x 5 x 3
50 x 3 x 2
70 x 2 x 2
90 x 2
100 x 2
105 kg x 2r x 5s
100 kg x 4
2 minutes rest.
Press:
20 kg x 5 x 2
30 x 3 x 2
35 x 2 x 2
40 x 2
45 kg x 2r x 5s
2 minutes rest.
Close grip bench:
20 kg x 5 x 2
40 x 5
50 x 5
60 x 5
65 x 4
70 x 3
75 kg x 2r x 5s
2 minutes rest.
No heavy single reps today, I'm thinking of maybe trying
to do five sets of doubles 2 or 3 times a week for a while and see what happens.

I think that adding in this variation is a good plan.slowmotion wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 6:04 amNo heavy single reps today, I'm thinking of maybe trying

Squat:
20 kg x 5 x 3
50 x 3 x 2
70 x 3 x 2
90 x 3
100 x 2
110 x 2
120 x 1
125 x 1
130 kg x 1r @9
2 - 3 minutes rest.
This felt really heavy today.
Medium grip bench:
20 kg x 5 x 2
40 x 5
50 x 5
60 x 3
65 x 3
70 x 3
75 x 2
80 x 2
85 x 1
90 kg x 1r @9.5
2 - 3 minutes rest.
This felt even worse.
Deads:
50 kg x 5
80 x 4
100 x 3
120 x 3
130 kg x 2r x 5s
2 - 3 minutes rest.
I had planned a heavy single on deads as well,
but that would have been silly today.
So instead I did these easy doubles.
This was all right.
Not the best day, but at least I got something done.

I was starting to get a bit tired now,
so I didn't go too heavy.
Pretty good day today.
