W7 Bench

Week 7. Left shoulder is starting to give me grief again. 

Bench Press 148k x 1, 129k x 5 x 3r

Monkeyed around for a bit trying to get into position for a double overhand bend. A few more sessions for the flexibility then I'll melt it.

Squat

June 23, 2021

Started getting a weird cramp in the side of my abs about halfway through my squat work-sets. Hopefully it's just the cereal I ate beforehand. Looking forward to getting my second Pfizer jab tomorrow morning as well. Fingers crossed that I continue with no side effects.

Felt really good this session. Still training buddy. Had him do axle deadlift ladders, kettlebell clean & squats, and then a bunch of hip circle flexibility stuff when I saw how his knees were tracking. Sent him home with it to get some more practice in.

I should've had a fan going. I freaking hate the heat and humidity. Still feel a lot of the effort in the abdomen. It'll come back.

Buddy came over as he's interested in lifting. Some of my breaks were stretching out pretty good. He's got a gimpy shoulder so I was showing him some bottoms up kettlebell variations and Clubbell work.

Little meh with niggles yesterday so I postponed until today. Worked up to a single on the axle deads. Moving the right way after not doing grip really for years. Happy to throw the kettlebells back in the mix. Going to take a couple sessions to get my form and volume back up.

Bench

June 7, 2021

Reset day for another wave for bench. Interesting thing with getting to back squat again is that it felt as easy as it should have if I was squatting for the past seven weeks however… my core, back, etc. really got some DOMS from bracing which never happens as well as my ass getting particularly tender. Interesting to "feel" specifically the muscular usage differences between belt squatting and having the bar back on my back. Definitely correlation but I should've added planks, pallof presses, etc. and some GHR.

Press

Easy peasy. Paused and pushed my skull through and held motionless my last press set just so I don't lose that comfort there. Add another 10# next week for another wave.

Strict Press 165 x 7 x 5r
Pulldowns 210 x 3 x 8r

I'll give grip a day off seeings as I did my pulls yesterday double overhand and I want to attempt a 1RM to base my next cycle off of.
