00:00:00.000 We're back! The greatest training update video of all time.
00:00:05.500 Well, okay, perhaps it will be somewhat entertaining and informative, at least.
00:00:11.060 So, we are in the Temple of Iron. You see me there.
00:00:14.920 What a specimen, what an ice giant from Hyperborea, blessed by the Norse gods.
00:00:21.360 So, anyway, I'm attempting here three repetitions at 240, 240 kilos.
00:00:27.000 And we'll see if I can manage such a great feat of strength.
00:00:32.700 So, first repetition goes there. Boom. Nice.
00:00:35.820 Then we're loading up, trying to visualize using psychomagical techniques to get the repetition up.
00:00:43.260 So, loading up there and rolling it towards me and exploding up.
00:00:49.280 A bit shakiness there, but still okay.
00:00:53.020 So, now we're attempting the third and final repetition.
00:00:57.580 So, let's go champs.
00:01:00.180 And there we do not go.
00:01:04.020 So, I let it go.
00:01:05.060 I felt that my technique would have broken down completely.
00:01:08.480 So, I let it go rather than to risk injury.
00:01:11.260 Now, how to redeem this, you might ask.
00:01:13.600 Yes, we'll get into it in just a bit.
00:01:15.420 But first, a message from the sponsor of this fine video.
00:01:19.620 So, I am sponsoring myself.
00:01:22.280 So, a quick heads up.
00:01:23.900 Jotuname Nutrition is back.
00:01:25.680 So, back the European shop.
00:01:27.840 The North American shop as well.
00:01:30.100 So, do check it out.
00:01:31.440 All the links in the description box below.
00:01:33.760 So, essentially we have moved our warehouse to a bigger one.
00:01:37.300 And shipping and handling will be a bit faster from now on.
00:01:41.140 And we've had some issues with the shipping as of late.
00:01:44.460 So, hopefully that will be sorted out now.
00:01:47.120 So, yeah.
00:01:47.560 Good stuff.
00:01:48.180 I'm very happy to present.
00:01:49.720 And I've redesigned the web shops a bit as well.
00:01:52.760 So, do check it out.
00:01:53.820 And admire the aesthetics of both pages.
00:01:57.120 Now, of course, the Swedish shop is also up.
00:01:59.880 Rolling on as usual.
00:02:01.320 Great stuff.
00:02:02.000 The best products.
00:02:03.300 And I am, of course, using the stuff presented on the pages as well.
00:02:07.740 Now, since we are on the topic, I might give a shout out to my beloved legiogloria.com as well.
00:02:12.740 And the clothes you see in all of my videos, of course, from Legiogloria.
00:02:17.640 Proudly made in Europe.
00:02:18.840 So, do check that out as well.
00:02:21.000 And now, let's get back to the session at hand.
00:02:23.900 So, there you see I'm asking my adoring fan, Victor, to zoom in to the Hammer of Thor.
00:02:28.980 Because I use it when I deadlift for some extra powers.
00:02:33.460 So, now I thought to redeem myself.
00:02:36.140 Redeem my failure.
00:02:37.540 So, as you saw, the last set I failed.
00:02:40.180 I didn't do the three repetitions I set out to do.
00:02:43.740 So, I'll do it some other time.
00:02:45.460 So, now I actually set a personal best.
00:02:47.740 So, eight repetitions at 190 kilos.
00:02:51.100 So, I thought to just rep it out a bit.
00:02:53.560 Usually, I don't go so high.
00:02:56.020 I don't do so many repetitions on the deadlift in case the form breaks down.
00:03:00.520 But the weight here is actually quite light compared to what I was attempting.
00:03:05.000 So, I thought I need to redeem myself somehow.
00:03:08.400 So, I decided let's go champ.
00:03:10.440 Let's go champs.
00:03:11.460 Let's try to do this.
00:03:12.660 Let's try to get some sort of good workout indeed.
00:03:15.780 And I actually got doms from this.
00:03:17.440 It's not often I get doms anymore.
00:03:18.980 But I got from this particular session.
00:03:21.500 So, yeah.
00:03:21.900 I just thought to get in some extra work there.
00:03:24.760 And then next Saturday, I will try to do two by two on 240.
00:03:32.840 So, two repetitions, two sets.
00:03:34.800 So, and then maybe the week after that, I will attempt again to do three repetitions at 240 kilos.
00:03:42.040 So, that is the plan.
00:03:43.060 I will keep you all updated.
00:03:44.240 I suppose you all follow me on the other social media platforms.
00:03:48.140 And of course, I post YouTube shorts now as well.
00:03:51.360 So, here we see a bonus clip of me doing some deadlifts.
00:03:54.520 So, you can observe my technique there.
00:03:56.360 I try to push down the very earth itself.
00:03:59.980 So, that is the start of the movement.
00:04:01.720 And then I start pulling.
00:04:02.860 So, I actually push first.
00:04:04.800 I push down with my legs into the earth.
00:04:07.700 And then I start pulling up.
00:04:09.060 And then I try to push my hip forward as well mid-movement.
00:04:14.740 So, great stuff.
00:04:16.180 Good old deadlifts.
00:04:17.820 I will keep you all updated.
00:04:19.260 See how far we get before the summer cut begins.
00:04:22.900 Now, moving on to the next exercise.
00:04:25.760 We have some overhead press here.
00:04:28.160 Military press.
00:04:29.120 And I do three repetitions at 90 kilos.
00:04:31.960 Now, my goal is to get 100 kilo in a somewhat strict press.
00:04:37.500 So, overhead press.
00:04:38.320 So, I try to not use any momentum with the legs there.
00:04:41.940 So, I try to do it using the power of the shoulders.
00:04:45.840 Praise be to Atlas.
00:04:47.460 So, first set.
00:04:49.260 I did three repetitions.
00:04:50.740 It was a bit hard on the third one.
00:04:52.500 But I decided to get some more volume.
00:04:55.060 So, I did some more sets.
00:04:56.960 But only two repetitions.
00:04:58.260 So, you see there.
00:04:58.920 One repetition.
00:05:00.160 And then down again.
00:05:01.100 And then explode.
00:05:02.500 A bit of a grind.
00:05:03.660 But such is the case when you don't use any momentum of the legs.
00:05:10.560 So, here we go.
00:05:11.680 Third set.
00:05:13.160 Will I do it?
00:05:13.940 I look juicy at least.
00:05:15.580 If I may be so bold to say so myself.
00:05:18.800 Always important to comment on.
00:05:21.380 So, boom.
00:05:21.900 Explode up.
00:05:22.980 And then down.
00:05:24.740 And explode up.
00:05:26.040 Try to be as explosive as possible.
00:05:29.160 So, nice.
00:05:29.880 Two nice, clean repetitions.
00:05:32.980 Then I lowered the weight to 80.
00:05:35.480 And this is perhaps a bit of an unflattering angle.
00:05:38.240 But I wanted to film myself in this way.
00:05:39.980 So, I can keep a look on my own technique.
00:05:43.240 Always good to film yourself.
00:05:45.040 So, you can see how you are performing.
00:05:47.460 So, here we do six repetitions at 80.
00:05:50.340 Which is quite good.
00:05:51.320 This is definitely not something I could do this time last year.
00:05:55.280 So, yeah.
00:05:56.120 A bit of a grind there.
00:05:57.640 But again, such is life.
00:06:01.060 Sometimes you have to grind.
00:06:02.340 And here we go.
00:06:03.400 Again, five repetitions.
00:06:05.100 Different angle.
00:06:06.460 Perhaps nicer to see in this angle.
00:06:08.760 I don't know.
00:06:09.560 But, yeah.
00:06:10.020 I tried to push up there.
00:06:11.200 I tried to look through the window.
00:06:12.900 As they say.
00:06:13.540 And that's when I push forward.
00:06:14.980 Push my head forward in the window.
00:06:17.440 Created by my arms and the bar.
00:06:19.760 So, again.
00:06:20.660 Trying to just explode there.
00:06:22.520 A bit of a grind.
00:06:24.340 And then there we have it.
00:06:26.860 So, yeah.
00:06:27.360 That is basically my training update.
00:06:29.120 The goal here is to get to 100 kilo.
00:06:33.160 That is also my body weight.
00:06:34.480 So, that would be a good, respectable weight to get up in the overhead press.
00:06:40.100 So, yeah.
00:06:40.980 Good stuff.
00:06:41.660 Good stuff indeed.
