My upper arm was sore today so I didn't do arm day like I wanted. I just did the 30 minutes circuit.

Does anyone still get the covid booster shot or is everyone else over it and don't bother?

[jimmy jazz]

I don't get any. The deal was two and that was it. When they started trying to jab me with more I said no.

[DJChameleon]

With the new variations coming out. I constantly stayed on top of my jabs. Right before the last new one came out I actually caught covid so it made no sense to get it til six months after which was yesterday.

Some new personal bests for me this evening.

70kg barbell press x 8 (most reps)
20kg dumbbell lateral raises x 8 (heaviest weight)

I am looking forward to using light weights and high reps again soon.

Would be amazing if we could get @Trollheart in here and lifting.

Well done! And yes, @Trollheart should definitely get fitter. Come on, Trolls!

I'm at the CrossFit gym.. first sesh since I bought partial membership. In about half an hour, I'm gonna be dead and with another 15 minutes of torture to go.

Barbell press = overhead press I assume?
Great numbers. Never OHP'd more than 50 for 5 reps and 20 kg lateral raises seem just unreal to me.

Thank you Big G.

@Trollheart thoughts? Would give you something to do, help with low mood and confidence and be a great project to read and also for you.

It's not hard to imagine @Trollheart's fitness journal which probably ends up being mostly about the history of fitness, strongmen and bodybuilding.

My CrossFit sesh was exactly as I imagined it would be. Completely terrible. Can't remember last time I was this tired from an exercise.

Just bench press today for chest and tris.

12 sets, 20 reps, 70kg.

Just under 1 hour. I enjoyed it very much.

[jimmy jazz]

Squats

8 sets of 20, 80kg.

Was a tough one.

Tomorrow just pullups.

[Guybrush]

Yesterday I did a quick and relatively easy workout.

• 3 sets of 20 reps of squats, 60 kgs barbell
• Inverted rows using my rings
• 3 sets of 10 reps of incline bench press, 40 kgs on the barbell

No failures, but felt good changing things up a bit. I've been having a lot of progress on dips since I started, but it seems to be slowing down. I might  switch for incline bench press for a bit. Been doing a lot of inverted ring rows too, so thinking perhaps band assisted pull-ups instead for a while.

I haven't been squatting much, but that's because I wanna get some jogging in and the squat sessions I used to have obliterated my legs too much. This 20 reps workout got me some DOMS, but not crazy amounts.

I might do some modified candlesticks, curls, standing calf raise and maybe try some overhead press today.

Still running 🏃�♀️🏃�♀️🏃�♀️

I did have a massive set back though. I walked 13km and ran 7km in the same day,  then I had an all day wedding in high heels so my feet were a mess for a few weeks there. My mental health was a bit shit too but I am back and I haven't really lost any fitness either.

I done my first intervals run today which was trying to achieve set paces for set distances. I should also be running a 10km this Saturday but due to my set backs and banged up feet I'm going to push it back a bit. I feel annoyed about it but I only started back on Tuesday so I don't think it would be wise.
