Day 6 summary

1. 8x4x102kg benchpress. This turned out to be quite a lot of weight. I did 6 sets x 4 repetitions and then failed to the 7th set because I only did 3 reps in this set. I had a pause and proceeded to do the full 7th set. Unfortunately I was in a hurry so in the 8th set I also did 3 reps only. I feel like I’m approaching my limit here for the time being. That said, I’m totally fine with this plateau for now. I should be able to go higher once I go back to the gym and I get some more professional help from my trainer. My max is 1x125kg for now and this is more than enough for hiking. Tomorrow it’s 10x3x107kg; I can’t wait 😛
2. Stamina training: 1 set with 23 crunches, 23 dumbbell pullovers (20kg), 23 benchpresses x 63kg. I will go up to 25 reps for each activity and then i’ll add a shorter second set.
3. A short jog (3km). I’ll try a longer run tomorrow.

Overall quite a good day, especially taking into account that Monday is the most difficult day for me at work, so I never make any big plans for this day. I feel pleased with the fact that I can stick to my plan.

Finally, for the whole last week (Monday-Sunday) Strava says I did 10.5 miles of running so I should aim for roughly 14 miles this week.
