Week 8, Day 3 - SQ 185 and BP 180

warmup - cossack sequence and other floor work, also an assisted one-arm chin each side as an experiment to wake up the abs.  Did index finger assist at the end of the chinup bar, did right first, got it, didn't get all the way up on the left side, will try left first next time.  This is a good difficulty level for me.

shoulder dislocates

NB: Left shoulder sore this morning, feels like the getups are finally starting to tax it in a way I've been avoiding, don't know how this will impact pressing.

SQ:

bar x 1

135 x 3

165 x 1

185 x 1, 2, 1, 1 - getting used to back squatting.  All felt deeper than they looked on video, but nonetheless all were more than legal depth.

No backoff sets today - short on time and legs a little tired, perhaps from all the walking, too - about 7 miles in the previous 2 days.

DB BP: 25's x 5

BP:

bar x 5

135 x 3

155 x 1

180 x fail - nothing hurt, but I did slightly narrow my grip because wider seemed to bother whatever is sore in my shoulder.  Lots of failed reps at various things lately, not good, but educational as they're all on relatively new lifts for me - sumo DL, front squat, and BP.

165 x 2 - good
