With Phil Scarito

Sat/Sun - off

Monday, w/ Phil Scarito, a great session.

2h swings w/ 44 kg - should use the deeper hinge, which I'm very capable of, and keep the good lockout in upper body.  Still could drive heels harder, IMHO.

MP: worked on light weights and staying really tight, w/ zero lumbar extension.  Did not do this on 20 kg, so went back to 16, got it, then to 18 kg, got it, then to 20 kg - tough but got it.

Worked on 1APU - good pointers from Phil about really pushing into my heels and spreading the load and, per Phil, will work on 2 leg version until on floor before switching to 1-leg version

Some dumbbell bench presses, discussed when to relax, positioning the dumbbells, etc.

SN: some weight (don't remember), worked on pulling the bell down to get a more explosive turnaround at the back.

DL: barbell DL up to 315, slight back tweak as I did a slow lowering of 315 lbs, which was stupid to try on my part, given that I was pretty tired already.  Discussed various positioning options at the start.

Great day, had a milkshake from Shake Shack afterwards to celebrate and re-carb
