Deadlifts!

I was planning to write this post Thursday evening and then it would've started with a 16.4 prediction and the words would've been "deadlifts + hspu + maybe something else". Unfortunately I was a bit too busy that day and no post was written. Well, now we know that 16.4 is deadlifts, wallballs, rowing and hspu. Since I am able to perform all these movements I find this to be a much better workout for me than 16.2 or 16.3, but I would've preferred heavier deadlifts since that happens to be my favorite technique. My main issue here will be wallballs since it's fairly easy to norep and I always suffer on high rep wallballs.
That generates a simple plan: Do the workout twice. First time, go slow on on deadlifts (goal around 3.5 minutes) followed by as fast as possible on wallballs(4.30 feels doable), followed by going fairly slow on the rower to recover a bit and get the pulse down(4 minutes?). That gives me a minute to try to get some hspus.... Second run will start out with pedal to the metal on deadlifts followed by same plan as the first run. Let's see how it goes....


This week's training was mostly fun.

Tuesday was a back squat and row day. Since I always find it hard to figure out what max I would have at high rep amount I started easy and did 60-70-90. 60 and 70 felt easy. 90 felt hard, but I might've managed an extra rep/kilo.
Rowing sucks, especially when done for a long time. Therefore my 40 cal time sucked, but the later ones were much more reasonable.

Wednesday started with an early meeting at work so I couldn't do my standard pass. I was planning a rest day, but then I was told that it was 1 rep max HPC followed by HPCs and T2R. Since I enjoy both movements I dropped by one of the evening passes. HPCs went great despite my shoulder still complaining about my bar muscle up attempts. My 1Rm went up from 85 to 92.5 which is according to plan, but still very nice.  The AMRAP went fine as well, althogh I got a bit tired on the 30 rep round.

Thursday was a hell day consisting a Karen split into 3 parts with runs in between the wallball sets. Pure hell, but at least I go reminded of how bad it can be,

Friday was an already familiar workout, with amraps followed by X rep max. It's always hard to know how heavy you should go and I really didn't want to do multiple attempts, so I went slightly easier than I probably should. This time I did 70-75-80-75. I would've probably managed something like 75-80-82-76 although thrusters were really hard.




This week was much more fun beer wise than the previous ones since Wednesday was Amager tap takeover at Bishops' Savoy. Tap taker means that a brewery arrives with a bunch of kegs and takes over most of the taps in a pub. Since Amager is one of the most well known Danish breweries I was really excited.
A lot of beer was consumed, but the best one was Vaskerelven IPA with it's high hoppiness that was very nicely combined with fruitiness without going overboard with alcohol. This was the most pure IPA in the bunch
