#MaxEffort #JMpress here for 155, 165, the 180 PR, and then a 185 PR. Then backdowns of 145x2x6.

And so proceed the #gains on this #MaxEffort #SLDL, here for 365, 385, and the 410 PR. Honestly wasn't even feeling that strong today, hence the hypeup. That's 15lb worth of PRs on this in the last three months. Then it was 325x5 on the backdowns. All of this was after submax pin squats as per usual

#MaxEffort #ringHSPU here, this time performing them top-down for a change of pace (like a pin press rather than dead): warmups from +1" and 0", then the PR of -2"x4. I did attempt that depth bottom-up but still couldn't quite manage, at least after that 4 rep set. I did manage a BW+5x1 PR, though.

After max effort Hackenschmidt squats on this 'lower' day I decided to try #NordicCurls without hand support, and so I raised the bench angle up to 9.4° from my usual 4.2°. I followed up with decline #reverseNordics for BWx2x12. Really loving the depth on the decline with less foot/ankle stress.

Ascending sets on #strictCurls for 75 and 85x5 and a PR of 90x4. Only my third session of these. Then #JMpress for 135x10 and 8. This was all after max effort Larsen Dead Press and before front pulls and dips.

Say again? All after incinerators.

#MaxEffort here on this first time trying #ZercherSquats, paused. Managed 245, 275, and 295, then backdowns of 225x2x5. Didn't really figure out the breathing very well until the backdowns. Also tried Zercher goodmornings, but I'm not so sure about the form yet.

#deadPreachers here for 100x7 and 90x13, both PRs. Then a backoff of #deadPilgrims (reverse grip dead preachers, with elbows at the kneecaps) for a 45x10 PR.

MNSD014.18 => "For man to encounter the universe as he is, with uncovered countenance, is death."

#deadPreachers here for 100x4 (less than anticipated, but still a PR) and a decent 90x11 PR. Golfer's elbow has all but cleared up, it seems, so new max effort PR singles may be incoming. These were performed after BW+55x10 and BW+35x12 pullups, by the way.

For the real sickos, #Gameboy #DMG #DMG-01 #mGB #MIDI #chipmusic #chiptune #IndustrialMusic #NerdSEQ

MNSD014.17 => a return to form, blown to smithereens

Incline #NordicCurls here for 15 and 13 reps after my squats and goodmornings. I'm up to what I'm referring to as "thumb support," taking inspiration from archer pullups wherein one progresses by reducing the number fingers used by the supporting hand.

Brah,

Gave #JMpress its own #MaxEffort day, whereas it had previously been tacked onto a bench variation's own max day. Now it's a first class citizen in the bench max rotation. Here I do 145, 155, the 165 10lb PR, and then a 175 PR on top of that. Then I managed backdowns of 135x2x8.

#MaxEffort #snatchGripDeadlift here for 335, 355, and the 10lb PR of 375. That's 20lb put on this lift inside of four months and over three sessions. Then it was 300x5 backdowns.

#MaxEffort #AndersonFrontSquat for 205, 215, and the 230 PR. Then it was 180x2x5 backdowns.

#deadPreachers here for a 95x10 PR and then an 85x15 PR. Thinking next I'll see what's what ay 100x8+, maybe? and I suppose pair it up with 90x12+ for good measure.

Still no joy on the #MaxEffort paused #benchPress which is stuck while my close grip gets near to its level (practically at its current level and within 5% of its peak). This means I need to precede this variation with lighter work, rather close grip, which is equivalent. 120x12 on #JMpress, though

Not my photo, but this vehicle was parked just up the street from me when I posted this. Only just saw that it actually became a meme.

🎶This is the only time I really. feel. alive.🎶 #MaxEffort #SLDL for 365, 385, and the goddamn 405 PR. Then it's a 320x5 backdown for good measure. Really loving the new rotation on my #deadlift maxing (conventional, submax conventional, SLDL, then snatch-grip) keeps the two heaviest well-separated

#deadPreachers here for the 95x9 PR, but then I couldn't quite bring it home on 85 and only managed 12. Mind you, this is after 2 rep pull-up PRs with both BW+55x9 and BW+25x16. Then I tried something new I call #deadPilgrims, which is just reverse dead preachers with elbows at the kneecaps for 45x7

This #MaxEffort #ringHSPU session seemed unreasonably difficult at first: my warmup single at -0.5" almost didn't even start, and -1.5 actually didn't until I thought to move rings out, presumably to where they had been before. We'll see if that ring position helps to get things moving again.

One of these days soon I'll walk into a heavy session ready to bring it, but not today. Not all bad though. #MaxEffort #squats for 320, 340, and a failed 360; still, proud to have gotten under a weight not touched in a year and a half with no knee issues. Then #goodMornings and #reverseNordics.

Lately back to fucking around with generative patches. Here we have a #vcvRack patch making good use of polyphony and phase-based clock/trigger sources. Then I've got some Bitwig automation with an LFO controlling a couple of knobs.

#MaxEffort #closeGripBench here was tenuous affair: after 220 and 230, the 245 PR got a bit iffy toward lockout, possibly because I wasn't sufficiently "rooted" for the leg drive and misgrooved a bit until after a little adjustment. Then it was 195x2x5 backdowns.

Ugh, kinda suspected this #MaxEffort #deadlift session wouldn't go quite as planned, but I just had to try it anyhow. So, here's 405, 425, and the failed 445. Then it was just 325x5 backdown. Lost sight of the goal this time, but fairest January will surely see it done.

Down in the dumps with all my pressing work (bench and OHP) which I think comes down to "shouldering" too much volume, owing to my anthropometry. This #MaxEffort #BTNpress wasn't so bad though, here for 95, 105, a failed 115 PR, and then a 110 salvage. Backdowns for 85x2x10 was at least improvement

Here's a melancholy little #ORCλ sequence (running on #uxn) and applied to the polyphony channel of #mGB (channel 5 through #ArduinoBoy, etc.) to run the #DMG ( #gameboy). All this is happening through the #NerdSEQ which is handling #MIDI CC values with a patch. #chipmusic #chiptune

#MaxEffort #AndersonFrontSquat, here for 205, 215, and the 225 PR, and backdowns of 175x2x5. Then we've got snatch-grip #highPulls for 175x10 and 11. Following this up with Nordic curls and reverse Nordic mobility (trying to get used to seiza/hero-pose positioning in order to do the full shebang).

#RepsForMishima on these #deadPreachers, here for the 85x12 PR and then a 9.

Happy #MishimaDay to all those who celebrate. #Mishima #YukioMishima

Happy motherfucking #MishimaDay.

Yeah, I'm thinking I'm back.

Third #MaxEffort session on #snatchGripDeadlift, here for 325, 345, and the 365 PR, which moved easily enough that I may just go for 375 next time. Then 295x5 for the backdown. I've also included the first set of my jump to 95x2x7 on #weightedSitUps and then also one set of #sideBends with 15x10.

Dealing with golfer's elbow on #deadPreachers so I've opted to put some reps on my lower intensity work until I'm back up to repping 95, after which I'll resume max effort work, micro-loading my way to 135. Here I've managed a 75x16 PR and then 12. 65x16 was my previous best nine days back.
