Log Bar Futzing

August 30, 2019
Afternoon

Log-Bar Futzing. Feeling a little wobbly pressing. Can be attributed to not doing this lift in over a year and staring at the sky I think. Cleans feel super easy. One of these days I may see if I can clean 300. No way in hell I can press it but a clean would be nice. Can't get coordinated enough to push press this either. Not sure what's off.

The 3c set was probably a 9-9.5 RPE. I'll leave the triple until next week. Noticed with the video I need to lower the chains a tad more. Still completely off of the floor at lockout.

Week 2. Was getting a wicked low back pump when a sat after the GM's. Think I need some glute bridges and such more. I really need to wake my ass up.

W1 Deads

August 22, 2019
Before Supper

Week 1. Going back to a Rex cycle. Using Martins' cues with the pauses on the way up to my work sets. Also going to use my Okie bar. Historically I pull substantially worse with this instead of a stiff power bar.

Deadlift wu to
525 x 1
475 x 5 x 1r
525 went really quick but my thighs are sticky. Next time I'll use talc or tights. With the pause at my knees it got a bit grippy.

Week 8. Got home from my site visit and felt okay. Just hit the main work sets.
Thinking about switching things up to get some reps in over 500 this year. Then again, I'm getting old and don't need to push the higher percentages. Stuff to ponder.
