Focused on keeping the bracing while in the hole in the back squats, so I took slightly less weight than actual 65%. And those box jumps were scary AF sometimes. The big box is just intimidating.

So… moved on from #BackSquat to #OverheadPress today. No weight on the bar yet, and technique needs to be worked on. Oh, and hey, I wrote a thing: https://piratesobg.wordpress.com/2026/02/28/getting-started-on-overhead-press/
Getting started on Overhead Press

OK, so following up on my 80kg back squat last week, today we moved on to overhead press/shoulder press. This week was basically just working on technique, and as you might notice from the video, t…

Today's #Workout

Mobility: 15 min GoWod

Warm up: 9 min AMRAP
- 30" machine
- 10 Cossack squats
- 4 up downs
- 10 alternating reverse lunges
- 3 empty barbell back squats

Strength: Back Squats #BackSquat
- 3x 5 @ 60% of 1 RM (39 kg based on my last test while still babying my hamstring)

Workout: "Minestrone" for time, intermediate
- At 0:00
- 24 cal row
- 25 burpees
- 24 cal row
- At 8:00
- 24 cal row
- 20 burpees to target
- 24 cal row
- At 16:00
- 24 cal row
- 15 burpee box jump overs (37 cm)
- 24 cal row
Finished in 5:53 - 5:48 - 6:25

I am happy the taller jumps are getting consistent even under fatigue (I do have to psyche myself for every single one). Today's burpees were dangerous AF due to just mopped rubber tiles making slipping on the floor very easy to face plant. And finally a workout that gets my recovery time above 24h! (71h to be exact 🤣)

One down, two to go…

Yeah, so you know how I wrote about what my 2026 fitness goals were? I just did an 80kg backsquat. So that’s one goal down. OK, granted, I didn’t squat as deeply for the 80kg rep as I had for the 7…

Ok, granted, I didn’t go as deep as I did for the lighter reps, but I DID complete the 80kg #BackSquat

So, I’m just a little bit pleased with myself today. 😀
