Saturday: Swings

Haven't done enough swings this week:

36 kg x 2h x 10

24 kg x 1h x 10L, 10R

36 kg x 2h x 10

24 kg x 1h x 10L, 10R

36 kg x 2h x 10

Did these on the :60, but that was a little too quick for today.  I was definitely more explosive, and I guess if I'm going to be that explosive, I am going to have to do fewer reps or take longer rests.  An interesting swing day.

An hour or two later,

40 kg x 2h x 10 - just because

Wed/Thu/Fri: Press, DL

Thursday, September 15

21.14 kg x 4, 6 (14)

Friday, September 16

21.14 x 5, 6
24 x 2
21.14 x 5

DL: Daily Dose Deadlift, Day #14:

275 x 1
295 x 1
315 x 4 singles, all double overhand - grip was really good for the first 2, not so great for the rest, especially left.

Decided to stop here. I could have done another, double overhand or gone to alternate grip, but I realized I've done 6 lifts at 75% or greater as opposed to my usual 5, so I'm going to start including more regular warm lifts and/or just doing 6 or 7 singles. 

I think I need at least a couple of warmup lifts every day, not to warm up but to keep the volume of lifts recommended by the program, which say 2-4 warmup lifts. I've done a couple of warmups sometimes, will do 7-9 total lifts every time going forward.
