W7T1 Press W4 Squat

February 26, 2024

W7T1 Press W4 Squat. Just plunking along. For some reason the SSB squats are feeling really tough this cycle which is weird as I could triple this plus 100# a few weeks ago. Add some more squat specific accessories maybe. Could also be I'm squatting 3x every two weeks but with the reduced volume I wouldn't have expected this. Getting old is interesting.

Got a massive cramp in my abs trying the sandbag rows. Ouch! Must've been from being all curled over and stabilizing. Hit the upper back good though.

W6H Press

February 23, 2024

Week 6 Heavy day. Quads sure felt the strain with that 210 set. Pin presses felt great. Need to remember to cross my feet with the pull-ups. The stabilization helps a lot. Really feeling my back work like it's supposed to at least.

W5H Press

February 14, 2024

Week 5 heavy day. Last amrap was 195 x 7 and this week I tied the projected 1RM with 200 x 6 which should still be ~240#. Also switching up my accessories for this block. I think this pin press will be pretty effective. Still sick too.

W4T1 Press

February 5, 2024

W4T1. Still feeling beat up from all of this pressing. May take the next "technical" session on Wednesday as a deload as Friday is a max single effort.

Also playing with my pull-ups. Jigged up a loading pin and pulley counter weight. I'll try sets of 2-5 reps until I can hit it in 4 sets with 1-2 RIR then reduce the weight and start again. Need better pulleys. I'll go grab some clothesline sheaves.
