More Easy Strength SQ BP DL

Tuesday:

Only a little stretching.

bw - windmills.

Bent Arm Bars - 10 kg

Half-Kneeling Windmills - 10 kg, first time for these, feel very good, a nice stretch

Zercher DL - used axle, which is different: 135 x 1, 1 - bar tends to roll forward on my arms only at mid-lift - OK at the bottom, OK at the top because it rolls back down again.  Have to figure this one out...

24: swing: 10R, rest :30, 10L

SQUAT:

LBBS: 175 x 5, 5 - very interesting - first set was my high-bar stance, knees came forward too much - second set was perhaps an inch wider on each side, felt much better, knees stayed back more, weight more on heels on the way up.

- oops, forgot swings, will make up later

BENCH PRESS

135 x 5 - solid, long pauses, starting to figure out what to do and when in this movement, finally, 5, 5

Excellent - these got easier today, did 3 sets of 5, will try a little more weight on the bar tomorrow

24 kg: swings, 5R + 5L + 5R + 5L, no breaks


DEADLIFT

235, l/u to start, alternating hands, singles on reset at the bottom, 8 reps again.  Might have done more but back felt odd after 7th rep, and it was because the weight was too damned light.  Tightened up for 8th and final rep, which felt 100%.  About 1:10, start to finish, as it was yesterday

Will definitely put more weight on the bar - damn, that was stupid of me.

No more lifting for today, will take a walk now.

24: 10 x 2-hand swing

Onward and Upward
