Press & Pull

Miserable cold, wet, snow, wind, etc. outside so I'm back to seated pressing today. Started doing thoracic stuff a couple times a days starting yesterday.

Seated BTN BB Press wu to 70k x 5/5/6
Shoulders are sore from all of this stretching. I'll say that (and being weak) account for my low AMRAP. Used the BTN's to help "force" thoracic positions. Really working on just packing my abdomen and not having any arch.

EZ Reverse Curl 85 x 2 x 12r

DO Axle Deadlift wu to EMOM 363 x 19 x 1r
Last two reps were bad and the 20th was a fail. I'll drop 20# next time. EMOM builds up fatigue a lot differently than if I just did 4 sets of 5.

MMS grippers between press sets. 4 attempts and 4 close sets with each hand.

Bench & Squat

One of my wife's relatives passed away yesterday so I'm shuffling my lifting around a bit. Dropped 0.5k on today's jump as my 25k plates workout to this without micro's.

Before Supper
Bench Press wu to 121k x 5/5/7 - cheaty 7th. Shoulder is still bugging me. Might have to try a chiro.

Dip 282.2 x 2 x 8r

Front Squat wu to 117.5k x 5/5/7 - got a stitch in my right side so I stopped. Was going to go for 10 easily.

Left shoulder is getting some niggles. I'll need to watch it. Giving Jack's set-up a go on the pulls. The 505's were a little grindier than I'd like. Lots of talc and chalk required. Sweaty.

Bench Press wu to 120.5 x 5/5/7 - grabbing a breath is what's throwing me off. I hate bench reps.

Dip 281.3 x 2 x 8r

Deadlift wu to OTM
405/455/505 x 3 rounds

Neck Harness 30# x 4 x 35r

Evening

Really need to get working at waking my ass up. Just not firing properly. Definitely don't want to have to start a 15 minute pre-workout routine. Going to also start 1kg/2.5# jumps for the front squat. I think the 2kg/5# is better suited for lifts that are >450#.

12" Log C+P Short Cycle wu to 172.5 x 5/5/10

Front Squat wu to 255 x 5/5/8

Couldn't manage to get this in yesterday as we had the grandgoobers from breakfast time to the evening. Left squats as I'll be doing them on Tuesday and my lower abdominals are tweaked a bit.

Bench Press wu to 119.5k x 5/5/7
Screwed up my air and mis-grooved

Switched to the axle due to having deads as well today. Widened my deadlift stance out to the beginning of the knurling. Feels stronger with these lighter weights at least. We'll see as I work up.

Worst part of the log is by far the cardio aspect of cleaning every rep. Should improve.

Starting low with the front squats as I haven't pushed them in ages. Hit the saw tooth on the 8th rep, got gaggy so I stopped there.

12" Log C+P LC wu to 170 x 5, 5, 10

Front Squat wu to 245 x 5, 5, 8

Good enough
