November 18, 2020. Training update!

Yes, I was back at the gym today after a 4-days layoff due to my newly adopted Husky-mix girl. But since they are so well-behaved, I decided to get a chest and biceps workout done. And sure enough, they were quiet and resting when I left, and they were quiet and just as behaved when I got home. Good doggos.

Anyhow, I decided to do seated unilateral chest press and ramp the weight. My previous best was 3 strict reps with 105 kg (231 lbs.) per arm, or 210 kg total. Today I got 4 strict reps and one โ€œhalf-assedโ€ at 110 kg per arm โ€“ or 220 kg total. Take that, the old fart is still improving โ€“ even after some nights with almost zero sleep and days filled with โ€œcatabolicโ€ dog walks.

My body weight is still about the same as last week, around 77 to 78 kg in the morning (171 lbs.). After that, I did a drop set where my brother removed some weights for each set. It went something like 210 kg x 6, 170 kg x 7, 130 kg x 7, 90 kg x 7, 70 kg x 8, 50 kg x 10. I followed up with some easy contract-focused cable flyes and then some seated leaning-back cable curls. All in drop-set fashion and with iso-metric contractions. Felt really good.

Doggo update will follow tonight. Now itโ€™s time for, yeah, a walkโ€ฆ
