Recovery day and intake with neuropsychologist

This morning I had an appointment with the neuropsychologist. The intake lasted 1 hour. This week I will be called by the Hospital to plan a date to do the neuropsychology test. Also this Thursday I have the MRI, so the steps are taken to give me more information about my mental state / mental loadability. I’m pleased that these are taken.

Ofcourse the training from yesterday had physical and mental impact, so I did very light recovery training today. The same as I did Saturday.

Squat 5×3 90kg
Deadlift 5×3 110kg
Bench press 5×3 70kg

Semi heavy light training session went good

Today I had my final semi heavy light training session. After this only light weight training  session for next week test on Christmasday 🙂 Most important I’m pleased that I made the right twist (focus) in my mind and fullfill the next step. Last week my heavy light session was:

Squat 2x185kg
Deadlift 2x215kg
Benchpress 1×112,5kg (failed 2nd rep)

And today I lifted, less weight and 1 rep more:
Squat 3x180kg
Deadlift 3x210kg
Bench press 3x110kg * (touch-and-go)
And training was done in 75 minutes, including warm-up excersises 🙂

 

Doing less is better than doing too much…..

Yesterday evening it was a tough training session. The light weights felt heavier like it felt on Tuesday. Nevertheless it gave me a good feeling. Today or tomorrow I had or have to do my final semi heavy light weigth training session for next week ‘meet’ with myself. Due my tired mind, I followed my intuition and doing less weight as planned. One of mine believes is: You may decided to train with less weight and don’t more weights as planned.

Therefore I did only:
Squat 5×3 90kg
Deadlift 5×3 110kg
Bench press 5×3 70kg

Most important that my mind will rest in the coming 24 hours for my semi heavy light weight training. Will my squats today 50%, my deadlift 52,5% and bench press 63% of tomorrow semi heavy light weights? To stay on track it is okay to make 1 or 2 step backwards and still stay in contact with your goal(s)…..

My next week goal (at least) is making a double with 8 reds and colars on deadlifts…. 😉 What will it be on squats and bench press…. ?

Light session which were less light than expected

Tuesday I did:

Squats 3×3 120kg
Deadlift 3×3 140kg
Bench press 3×3 80kg

Today I did the same, only in 45 minutes and it felt ‘much heavier’.
Nevertheless it felt good and this is the step for my next semi heavy light training session tomorrow or Sunday. Depending of my energy level and/or will to push myself to my next level……

Joost de Groot thank you for the compliment

Within 3 weeks training 185kg squat, 215kg deadlift for doubles….

3 weeks ago I started training with light weights again and in within 3 weeks I’m able to squat 2x 185kg and deadlift 2x 215kg. Bench press is tough due the nerve problem I got in my left arm. Nevertheless I press 2x 102,5kg and failed on the 2nd rep with 110kg. Coming two weeks not to heavy 😆 so I will ready for my personal test over 2 weeks.
