This was kind of weird, I've never done 3/4 pin squats before.
It was mostly for curiosity and for fun.
I don't know if I will do them again or not.

90 kg x 2r, 1r.
2 minutes rest.
I had planned 3 sets of 2 reps,
but after one rep on the second set I realized
I was done for the day.
I had no more power.
All in all a pretty good day.

Re: “Lifting for fun...” Jan's log.
Thank you @JohnHelton.
I tried squatting today, and it was fine up to 90 kg,
before it suddenly happened again.
So there is - something - wrong, but I don't think it is serious.
I'm going to figure it out.

The knee pain on the squat is annoying,
but the press and the bench was okay.

Not a bad day after all.

This describes countless sessions of mine. Something hurts, and not in a good way? Carry on and ignore it until it goes away.slowmotion wrote: ↑Wed Nov 29, 2023 7:59 am[Squatting] was painful.

Well, this was fun.
I started to feel the pain in my knee again on the second 60 kg set,
and then something weird happened in my back.
Then I put my belt on and did the 70 kg sets anyway.
I know I should have stopped right away.

I can still feel it in my back, but it is much better, so I remain optimistic.
It's not painful as such, just really, really sore.
I don't know if I will lift tomorrow, it depends on how my back feels.
We'll see.
My knee is fine, it only hurts when I squat.
So I've been thinking, of course, and have sort of decided to try to get better at listening
to my body when I lift. Easier said than done, of course.
We'll see how that goes.

Re: “Lifting for fun...” Jan's log.
Yesterday after filming a set of squats, I bent down to pick up my phone, and my lower back screamed. I thought that I should not do the next and final set. Instead I self-massaged for two minutes and did it anyway. Probably dumb but here we are.slowmotion wrote: ↑Fri Dec 01, 2023 6:39 amIt's the day after now, and I really should have stopped right away.slowmotion wrote: ↑Thu Nov 30, 2023 12:23 pm 30.11.2023

Did all the reps very slow and controlled down
and faster up because of my back problem,
and that seemed to work well for my knee as well.

I didn't feel like doing deadlifts,
so I did some easy rack pulls instead.
Felt pretty good.
My back feels much better today,
so I'm calling this a good day.

Re: “Lifting for fun...” Jan's log.
I just noticed that you're squatting literally every day. I thought that I was out of control for doing so every other day, although I'm very close to finally putting that to bed - just want to push this "revamped form LP" a bit further. Why the every day squats?

70 x 3 x 2
90 x 2 x 2
100 x 2 x 2
110 kg x 2r x 2s
2 minutes rest.
There was some mild discomfort on the second 110 kg set, but no pain.
But I didn't feel like going any heavier.
I'll do a light day tomorrow.

I could probably have gone a little heavier here.

This felt kind of heavy,
but not difficult at all.
My lifting belt is getting loose again.
Time to make some more holes in it.

Re: “Lifting for fun...” Jan's log.
Yes, I usually squat and bench 4 or 5 times a week, depending on how I feel. And I usually start all sessions with squat. I've done that for a little over 3 years or so, if I remember correctly. I was inspired by Greg Nuckols high frequency program, and other programs like it, and sort of got stuck doing it this way. I've found that I like doing a little "every day" better than doing two or three monster sessions a week.DCR wrote: ↑Thu Dec 07, 2023 10:25 am I just noticed that you're squatting literally every day.
