Notes

#PowerClean

#Squat

122.5 kg (269.5lbs): 5,5

#BenchPress

102.5 kg (225.5lbs): 5,5,5

#ChinUp

BW - 89 kg (195.8lbs): 13,8,7

Notes:

  • Lowered the weight for the squat and bench press. Squat should be 80% of Monday's 5x5 weight. Before I was just adding 2.5kg every week to my squat during recovery days, but this was incorrect.
  • Squat: 80% of 160kg is 128kg, so increase the weight accordingly next week.
  • Bench press is 89% of the previous 5x5 bench press weight (from 115kg to 102.5kg).
  • Lower back and right hamstring sore from yesterday's pad training

#MuayThai Pad Work

15-20 minute with 3 breaks

Notes

  • Found out that one of the trainers at my gym was a former fighter. Since I only have about a month left in #Thailand I booked a few sessions with him. "Active rest" is going to be a little bit more active now...
  • Have a blood blister on the pad of my right toe, and my right hamstring along with the right side of my obliques are quite sore.
