Nothing very exciting today. Just a 'light' session, but it was good to actually get to the gym to do such a thing. It's easy for these to feel pointless, but it's a good way of working out any stiffness after volume day, and it's imperative for actually progressing my presses I suspect.

Again with the kinda tapering...
...just the way it's worked out again with parenting and injuries. Back in the gym (where else? Though I did do some riding this week with my daughter. A total of 8.6km at 7km/hr. That's sprint training, right?) for a light session that felt decidedly non-light. Ah well. Racing Sunday...

Chins (negatives): 3x1
Yes, chins are rather sad. Haven't done them for months, which is bad. So now I'm back to doing controlled negatives. Sad. But they should only take a couple of weeks to come back, so that I can do actual chinups. Woo.

TM Light
So I decided in the end to go with the Texas Method. For the moment, more or less 'straight', but that will probably change. The main reason was that the weights are getting too heavy for my inconsistency; having to reset or struggle through a couple of weeks if I miss a week is just too hard - and much, much slower than the starting strength linear progression is meant to be anyway.
Doing TM, it feels easier (over this period at least) to be more consistent and if I do miss a day here or there, there are more variables to manipulate (and, of course, potentially fuck up) to keep moving on. Obviously that's to be avoided as much as possible, but... well, it doesn't take much reading back through this log to note what my training can be like...

Back Extensions (Hypers): 3x10
Should've done chins too, but ran out of time. And the back extensions are unusual enough for my body that a more gentle introduction to 'accessory' work is probably not a bad idea... not meant to be sore or tired after the light day, after all...
