I might have found a sport I actually enjoy watching: weightlifting...

Passed by the #crossfit box to cheer on some of our locals competing in the Flemish Championships (#VlaamsKampioenschap) #weightlifting. Seriously impressed by what these young people move!

My routine was all messed up because of the power outage this morning. Turns out that my wife thinks it is a bad idea to squat and deadlift in a pitch black basement.

I was able to squeeze 75-80% of it in this afternoon between meetings and I’ll take that as a win. Heavier weight, fewer reps, but never skip #legday!

The crucial information about a #deadlifit as it mentions the angles to be held by the knee and pelvis.

I forgot to make an #introduction post back when I jumped to this server, so I'll put this together quick now.
I'll answer to just about any name, he/him, queer.
Most of what you'll see here are the readalongs I do of the #books I pick up from the library. #Nonfiction is often my favorite, focused on #science, #history and weird things like #pies. I like #gaming, both of the video and #tabletop variety, and #weightlifting.
I'm mostly interchangeable.

I hit 1,000 workouts in https://strong.app today 😱

I started using it in May 2017 because of a @caseynewton recommendation, about 14 months after I'd first started #weightlifting. Would not be here today without it! #mastolift

Off to Port Talbot to watch my teemage daughter lift heavier things than I can #weightlifting #BritishDisabilityChampionships #IAWA

Bench Day #15. Remax day.

Started with a 5 mile run, then some push ups, rings rows and pump strength to warm up the chest and shoulders.

My max before the current cycle was #145. First time doing bench since 2016 when I had achieved #195.

Today, after just 14 workouts in the cycle I benched #175!

#deadlift is hard when you're pregnant.

I mean, so is working out in general. Also #squat. But it's deadlift day today so that's what we're complaining about.

(I love deadlift fwiw. But. Oof.)

#workout #weightlifting

Been behind on my posts recently, but I got a good reason for it. I’ll post later today or tomorrow about it. In the meantime, here’s a quick #fitness update.

Ran 5 miles this morning and did my Bench press #14 out of 15. Next bench press, either Thursday or Friday, I’ll be attempting a new PR.

As for running, I’m now up to a 20-25 mile a week load. ~5 miles a day, ~5 days a week. Going to hold here at this load for the rest of this week, then next week I’m going to start adding in some shorter but harder runs. Haven’t decided if I am going to push my distance up much higher for the time being.

#Running #mastolift #strengthtraining #Fitness #weightlifting

Just finished my morning run. 5 miles at an 11:03 pace. Came in under an hour. That was my current goal. Next up I’m going to use a slow 5 mile run as my base training but start adding shorter but faster runs in. Building up to a sub 30 5k.

Now down to the basement to do a short lift. Benchpress 5-3-1 at 80-85-90% of max. Session 13 out of 15 for the current cycle. Schedule permitting, I’ll be remaxxing towards the end of the week!

#weightlifting

Deadlifted a 365 triple today and did a 315 squat double on Tuesday.

Big deal for me today is I did it without my knee sleeves and my knee felt totally fine. I did use straps on that last set, but that's because I have soft-ass desk jockey hands, refuse to use alt grip, and am out of the practice of using hook grip. No I'm not defensive about it, why would you even imply that.

Let’s do this one more time.

#introduction!

I’m David! By day I write #Go code to wrangle computers and almost three thousand #Kubernetes clusters.

By night I still write Go, but also like to play around with #Rust. Other interests include #cooking, #football (both kinds), #baseball, #games of all kinds, and #weightlifting.
