Workout log general

Thanks for reminding me of this thread @Voidmatrix

I have been trying to lose some weight for the last weeks. I've been successful, but that has meant that my normal program has been completely disrupted, as I can feel myself getting slightly weaker. I've also moved and the new gym doesn't have olympic bars, but some kind of shorter, lighter bar that doesn't rotate on the extremes. So that has made it more challenging as well.

After some time, I've been able to get into a new, more gentle (in how fast it advances) routine that so far works well, even though recovery is being hard.

Yesterday:
  • Bench press: 5x3+ (last one being AMRAP), 87.5kg
  • Squat: 3x10, 95kg (failed the last set)
  • Lat pulldown: 3x15+ (last one being AMRAP), 40kg
  • Some complementary exercises like hip flexor machine, 3x15+ as well
 
I haven't been logging these days, I'll try to resume it. It's being difficult to go up in weight, because I'm losing bodyweight (intentionally).

Today:
  • Deadlift: 5x3+, 165kg (last set was 5)
  • Overhead press: 3x8, 50kg (failed the last set)
  • Dumbbell row: 3x15+, 15kg
  • Complementary exercises like hip adductor 3x15+ at 105kg
 
I wish I could put about 5kg on, it's been a slow slide since stopped drinking. I can't be doing with losing any more. My aim is to be 73kg but I'm teetering around 67-68kg.
It used to be the other way around when the Trousers got tight it's time to work out!
Plus I've got too many broken bits to productively lift weights like I want to.
