Time Text
We're back the greatest training update video of all time.
Well, okay, perhaps it will be somewhat entertaining and informative at least.
So we are in the Temple of Iron.
You see me there.
What a specimen.
What an ice giant from Hyperborea blessed by the Norse gods.
So anyway, I'm attempting here three repetitions at 240, 240 kilos.
And we'll see if I can manage such a great feat of strength.
So first repetition goes there.
Boom.
Nice.
Then we're loading up, trying to visualize using psycho-magical techniques to get the repetition up.
So loading up there and rolling it towards me and exploding up.
A bit shakiness there, but still okay.
So now we're attempting the third and final repetition.
So let's go champs.
And there we do not go.
So I let it go.
I felt that my technique would have broken down completely.
So I let it go rather than to risk injury.
Now how to redeem this?
You might ask.
Yes, we'll get into it in just a bit.
But first, a message from the sponsor of this fine video.
I am sponsoring myself.
So a quick heads up.
Jutename Nutrition is back.
So back the European shop, the North American shop as well.
So do check it out.
All the links in the description box below.
So essentially, we have moved our warehouse to a bigger one and shipping and handling will be a bit faster from now on.
And we've had some issues with the shipping as of late.
So hopefully that will be sorted out now.
So yeah, good stuff.
I'm very happy to present.
And I've redesigned the web shops a bit as well.
So do check it out and admire the aesthetics of both pages.
Now of course the Swedish shop is also up, rolling on as usual.
Great stuff, the best products.
And I am of course using the stuff presented on the pages as well.
Now since we are on the topic, I might give a shout out to my beloved LegioGloria.com as well and the clothes you see in all of my videos, of course from Legio Gloria.
Proudly made in Europe, so do check that out as well.
And now let's get back to the session at hand.
So there you see, I'm asking my adoring fan Victor to zoom in to the Hammer of Thor because I use it when I deadlift for some extra powers.
So now I thought to redeem myself, redeem my failure.
So as you saw, the last set I failed.
I didn't do the three repetitions I set out to do, so I'll do it some other time.
So now I actually set a personal best.
So eight repetitions at 190 kilos.
So I thought to just rep it out a bit.
Usually I don't go so high.
I don't do so many repetitions on the deadlift in case the form breaks down.
But the weight here is actually quite light compared to what I was attempting.
So I thought I need to redeem myself somehow.
So I decided, let's go, champ.
Let's go, champs, let's try to do this.
Let's try to get some sort of good workout indeed.
And I actually got DOMS from this.
It's not often I get DOMs anymore, but I got from this particular session.
So yeah, I just thought to get in some extra work there.
And then next Saturday I will try to do two by two on 240.
So two repetitions, two sets.
So and then maybe the week after that I will attempt again to do three repetitions at 240 kilos.
So that is the plan.
I will keep you all updated.
I suppose you all follow me on the other social media platforms and of course I post YouTube shorts now as well.
So here we see a bonus clip of me doing some deadlifts.
You can observe my technique there.
Try to push down the very earth itself.
So that is the start of the movement and then I start pulling, so I actually push.
First I push down with my legs into the earth and then I start pulling up and then I try to push my hip forward as well.
Mid movement.
So great stuff, good old deadlifts.
I will keep you all updated.
See how far we get before the summer cut begins.
Now, moving on to the next exercise.
We have some overhead presser, military press, and I do three repetitions at 90 kilos.
Now my goal is to get 100 kilo in a somewhat strict press.
So overhead press.
So I try to not use any momentum with the legs there.
So I try to do it using the power of the shoulders.
Praise, build to Atlas.
So first set, I did three repetitions.
Was a bit hard on the third one, but I decided to get some more volume.
So I did some more sets, but only two repetitions.
You see there, one repetition and then down again and then explode a bit of a grind.
But such is the case when you don't use any momentum of the legs.
So here we go.
Third set, will I do it?
I look juicy, at least if I may be so bold to say so myself always important to comment on.
So boom, explode up, and then down and explode up.
I try to be as explosive as possible.
So nice, two nice, clean repetitions.
Then I lowered the weight to 80 and this is perhaps a bit of an unflattering angle, but I wanted to fill myself in this way so I can keep a look on my on my own technique always good to film yourself so you can see how you are performing.
So here we do, six repetitions at 80, which is quite good.
This is definitely not something I could do this time last year.
So yeah, a bit of a grind there.
But again, such is life, sometimes you have to grind.
And here we go again.
Five repetitions, different angle, perhaps nicer to see in this angle, I don't know.
But yeah, I tried to push up there.
I tried to look through the window, as they say, and that's when I push forward, push my head forward in the window created by my arms and the bar.
So again, trying to just explode there.
A bit of a grind and then there we have it.
So yeah, that is basically my training update.
Update: The goal here is to get to 100 kilo.
That is also my body weight, so that would be a good, respectable weight to get up in the overhead press.
So, yeah, good stuff.
Good stuff indeed.
