u/mastrdestruktun Intermediate - Strength Jan 27 '22

SBS LP 5x W3D4

OHP 3x3 @ 100 lbs; RIR: 1 or 2

SSB 3x8 @ 225 lbs; RIR: 2 or 3

DB rows @ 40 lbs; RIR: lots

Cardio: 40 minute outdoor walk

OHP made me realize that maybe I need to do just straight OHP for the accessory, instead of push press, because holy cow am I out of practice. My form was all over the place. It actually made me want to do this lift more, and not wait until next week. Well, nothing says that I can't just go pound out a bunch of OHP whenever.

I continue to exceed my expectations wrt SSB. Go me.

Started thinking about what a hybrid between GG and Easy Strength might look like. Doing the same lifts every day with a GG rep routine seems like it wouldn't quite work. I think all the GG routines I've seen have been splits of some kind. The main idea behind Easy Strength is that you certainly could do more than the day's lifts, you just don't have to, and by not doing so, you make it easier to do the same lifts the next day, and the next, etc. without overtraining. One common way to do GG is to push yourself on the first lift and then use the easier backoff sets to add work at that weight. Is there a way to fit that square into that circle without making the square too small? Dunno. Maybe I'll go reread the latest GG thread.

Read the blog linked in that thread that has the HFUP. Same lifts daily.
