Week 4, Day 2 - BP and DL off platform

Doing some math, I'm now about 12 weeks out from my next planned meet, on June 22 in York, PA, as a member of Team StrongFirst.

With that in mind, I'm going to bench press and deadlift today.

On the front porch:

pistol, lf, 1

3 step 1A pushup, rf, 3

pistol, lf, turned at 45 degree angle, lf, 2

3 step pu as above, rf, 4 - good

pistol, turned at 90 degree angle so now a slight lean to the proximal (inside) side, and surprisingly right side was harder than left, will revisit again tomorrow

BP:

bar, grip just outside center knurling, 5

bar, grip at inside edge of outer knurling, 5

135, pinkies just inside the rings, solid pause, 3 - clearly we have work to do

135, same grip, 5 - much better, 5 - OK, 3 sets for today, will work towards 3 sets of 8 at this weight and grip


DL:

Narrow Sumo, overhand grip: 225 x 2

Conventional, 3/4" platform, overhand grip: 225 x 2 - I am _so_ much stronger conventional

Conventional, 1-1/2" platform, overhand grip: 225 x 2

Conventional, 2-1/4" platform, overhand grip: 225 x 2

Conventional, 3" platform (actually 2-7/8" if we're being picky), overhand grip, 225 x 5, 5

Right elbow a little sore - must not have been completely straight


WHEEL: 4th step, standing, 3, 2 - better

20: swing, lf, (6L+6R) x 3, no breaks
