00:00:24.860 We're back, the Physique Manufactorium, checking in with my monthly video log, and I'm looking
00:00:53.180 quite thick and juicy, if I may be so bold.
00:00:57.800 Now, usually, you would see this monthly video over at hearthfireradio.com, and now you might
00:01:04.020 see it on YouTube or X.
00:01:06.280 I'm keeping it open this month.
00:01:09.440 It's my Christmas gift to keep this open.
00:01:12.020 Usually, I post every month a training video log, a bit of travel, a bit of training, a
00:01:17.740 bit of everything over at hearthfireradio.com.
00:01:20.040 Now, my content is not the only thing you can access there.
00:01:25.320 You have some really good podcasts by my man Tom Roussel, aka Survive the Jive.
00:01:30.020 He has a podcast there, also monthly.
00:01:32.200 You have The Bog with Big Dave Martell, which I've had on the channel as well.
00:01:36.660 You have Newark Roundtable, which is a bit more deep dives in philosophy and paganism and such.
00:01:42.960 So, very many good podcasts over there.
00:01:45.460 So, you can check it out, hearthfireradio.com, head over and, yeah, check it out, see if you
00:01:50.740 find anything that might be interesting to you.
00:01:53.800 And again, I do post a monthly video log there.
00:01:56.640 So, that is the sponsor for this video.
00:01:59.280 Do head over and check them out.
00:02:01.180 Now, we're gonna look at some training.
00:02:03.220 I'm gonna comment some training.
00:02:04.600 I will first and foremost say that I said to myself, I want to have a prosperous and productive
00:02:11.200 training autumn, and then a voice came to me and said, isn't there someone you have forgotten
00:02:16.340 to ask?
00:02:17.480 And it's Nurgle.
00:02:18.600 And Nurgle said, nah-ah, you cannot have a good training autumn.
00:02:22.760 So, we'll get into the footage in just a bit.
00:02:25.120 But, yeah, what I want to say is that this is no new heights, no new PRs or anything like
00:02:30.680 that.
00:02:30.960 This is just me trying to stay strong, stay healthy, stay, you know, active so that when
00:02:37.500 the time comes, if I can actually hit the gym with a good momentum, then I have the
00:02:42.160 base strength there already.
00:02:44.220 So, again, no new PRs or anything like that.
00:02:47.400 But some decent lifts, anyway.
00:02:49.400 So, you saw in the intro here, first some pad work, keeping the fists sharp.
00:02:54.120 So, the second clip you see there is from a recent deadlift session.
00:02:58.000 And you see I'm only doing a single there.
00:03:00.840 And that is because I simply tested the waters, so to speak, to see if I had it in me to do
00:03:07.500 more, but I felt, you know, it was heavy enough.
00:03:10.140 You can see the repetition is with good clean form, but it's not something I would want
00:03:14.600 to push.
00:03:15.360 So, what I did is that I lowered the weight with 20 kilos and did a few sets, which we
00:03:21.160 will see now.
00:03:37.500 now.
00:03:56.240 What are you doing?
00:03:57.100 That one of the touches is the saw in this dude.
00:04:00.680 It's actually not unsafe, but they put back one in the spare version.
00:04:07.500 all right different day different session so here you see before you some good old squats
00:04:29.820 now this particular session concise and the purpose here is to get back into it so as i
00:04:36.340 just mentioned being mog max by nurgle interrupt my usual training schedule so i haven't really
00:04:43.440 trained all the much squats i must admit to myself and to you my dear audience so here we're simply
00:04:50.640 warming up and i do definitely recommend that when you do squats that you add in a one or two extra
00:04:56.860 sets of warm-up your performance will be better off for it so in some exercises you can be a bit
00:05:03.160 faster during the warm-up but when it comes to squats i would definitely caution against being
00:05:09.960 too fast in the warm-up so second warm-up set done there as you can see and then we're moving on to
00:05:16.300 the third warm-up set right there and we have 130 which is a decent enough weight so it's getting
00:05:24.280 some blood flowing getting the machinery ready for action and yeah reminding the muscle memory the
00:05:32.940 central nervous system about former glories so yes here we are simply getting ready for
00:05:40.220 the main set which you will see in but a moment and i will increase to 150 kilos and do two sets of
00:05:47.520 those and yeah after that call it a day i did actually get doms from the session so even though
00:05:53.760 it's far from the weights i went up to only earlier this year it's still you know enough to give a good
00:06:02.540 a good stimuli to the body
00:06:04.440 to the body
00:06:32.520 so
00:06:34.520 it's
00:06:38.520 it's
00:06:39.520 it's
00:06:42.520 it's
00:06:47.520 it's
00:06:49.520 it's
00:06:53.520 it's
00:06:54.520 all right so two nice sessions returning to form after being
00:07:24.400 mogged by Nurgle and now we are heading on to the second deadlift session so this is my most
00:07:31.400 recent session I did and yeah simply trying to take one step further from the session before that
00:07:39.500 so still no new weights nothing I haven't done before no spectacular PR or anything but just
00:07:45.560 one step at a time and I will continue to take these smaller steps so we'll get back into the
00:07:51.700 gym now with some more deadlifts and as you can see deadlift squats I do try to focus on the big
00:07:58.720 basic compound movement so no no real focus on you know hitting the arms you know the arms will be
00:08:05.120 big and nice anyway especially if I do some rows and if I handle big weights anyway so the main
00:08:10.740 focus especially if you're tight on time which I have been very tight on time I'm afraid so then I
00:08:16.660 focus on hitting the big you know most bang for the buck and that's what you get with the heavy
00:08:21.560 compound movements so deadlift squats bench press military press stuff like that rows also so instead
00:08:28.600 of spending the time with the detail work so you know training biceps curls or whatever try to hit
00:08:35.400 the big compound movements so you get the most training the most you know positive hormones the
00:08:41.100 most connection with the primordial beast so you get that when you do heavy deadlifts and then also
00:08:47.760 something I always do is if I have a good group of guys with me then I try to time it so if we have
00:08:54.740 you know a group of five guys or something like that I do always I always endeavor to do the deadlifts
00:09:01.040 because then I can use the menurbund the shared manas energy from from those guys
00:09:08.200 yes
00:09:10.600 you
00:09:11.840 you
00:09:17.340 you
00:09:19.680 you
00:09:33.720 you
00:09:34.860 We'll be right back.
00:10:04.860 We'll be right back.
00:10:34.860 We'll be right back.
00:11:04.860 We'll be right back.
00:11:34.840 It comes in with the cardio aspect as well.
00:11:38.100 So, a nice quick session.
00:11:39.960 So good to do if you're tight on time.
00:11:42.760 All right, so that was the training for this month.
00:11:47.320 Hopefully, I will see if I can pray to Apollo and he can keep me safe against the onslaught of Nurgle.
00:11:54.720 I know many other guys have also been sick, so maybe not a super good training autumn for many of us, but it is what it is.
00:12:02.320 So anyway, I thought to talk a bit about my Christmas plans, my Yule plans.
00:12:06.540 You can see my two Yule goats in the background there as well.
00:12:11.460 They're guarding my books.
00:12:13.340 So, yeah, good stuff, good stuff.
00:12:15.360 So anyway, I will try to relax as much as possible.
00:12:18.040 It's been a super bad year in many ways.
00:12:20.640 So I will just try to seclude myself and, yeah, paint some Warhammer, read some nice books, be with the family, try to not stress.
00:12:29.480 And then I will sort of postpone the stress until January and then it will be, you know, everything will come crashing down on my shoulders again.
00:12:37.080 But, yeah, it is what it is.
00:12:40.740 The only way to deal with it is to try to recuperate, try to relax a bit, try to recharge the batteries by doing something else.
00:12:51.160 So, yeah, that is my plan.
00:12:53.220 Then I can hope also not only for Apollo to keep me safe from Nurgle, I can also hope that Elon Musk will bankroll me.
00:13:00.660 So, anyway, we have a hectic year incoming next year.
00:13:04.860 We have an election coming up in Sweden as well, which will be, well, every election is super important, but this one will be sort of make it or break it.
00:13:13.360 So I will need to formulate a plan how I can be, you know, do as much good as possible as well.
00:13:17.740 So it will be a hectic year, so I will just try to relax as much as possible and, yeah, again, recharge the batteries.
