Problems with the trains last night so ended up going to a different station and then walking 7.5miles home.

Well, this sucked, and could be for a number of reasons:

  1. Benched yesterday, which wasn't great either, so not enough time for similar muscle groups to recover.
  2. Been eating at a calorie deficit recently to try and shift a bit of weight before this week's mountain hike.
  3. Not enough recovery in general with the addition of Judo training each week.
I'm going to consider switching back to a 3 day a week routine, which should allow for recovery from Judo mid-week and any extra randori sessions at the weekend. I'm also going to hike the calories back up a bit as they were probably too low, too soon.
 
OK so have reset my training max on overhead & bench. Training max on SOHP is now 75kg and on bench is 120kg, so should be able to eek out some more reps based on those for a while.

Re-attempted the SOHP session today, but based on the new training max.

As mentioned, I'm going hiking in Scotland and Wales later this week so I'm going to try and get my squat session done later today to give my legs time to recover.

No, not got round to them yet. I always get up early (and force whoever I'm with to do the same) just to beat the crowds. I'd rather pass them as I'm on the way down than try to get passed them on the way up.

Today's training: Weighted backpack walk: 15kg in the pack, 1.85 miles.
