September 24, 2021: Neider Press, Variety, SW, ArmBar, GU

After Wednesday's lifting, the evening found me pretty tired, and the weather was very muggy, and I went to sleep early. Yesterday, Thursday, no lifting but a 5 mile walk with a couple of stops at stores as destinations. Felt tired afterwards but basically good, had a bigger-than-usual midday snack, and taught most of the afternoon afterwards. Today, Friday Neider Press: 8 kg x 15 lf, x 8 rf - still liking how my shoulders feel after these. First time doing 2 sets, I think. MP: tried seated press w/ 8 kg x 3 each side. Left side, as expected, works better PU: 1 very slow on rings, only minor discomfort, no pain left side - progress! CU: on bar, slow, didn't feel good to go 100% of the way up, break, success this time! SW: last week, I did 90 swings. This week, I've done 260 already by today, so we'll take it a bit easy on the volume today and tomorrow: 00:00 40 kg x 2h x 5 00:30 40 kg x 2h x 5 01:30 40 kg x 2h x 5 02:00 40 kg x 2h x 5 03:00 40 kg x 2h x 5 03:30 40 kg x 2h x 5 - 30 total, working on loading hips because the better the hip load, the easier it is to perform these well: more explosiveness, better height, less fatigue ArmBar: experiment, cannot do "by the book" with right arm because lumbar rotates and puts pressure on herniated disc. So, instead of bent leg, straighten it, which my flexibility allows and seems to stabilize lumbar sufficiently. Used 12 kg GU: play w/ 12 kg and bw only, and just to elbow, still sorting out coming up onto left elbow, still finding right oblique, and that way of the X, from right foot to left elbow, lacking severely, but it gets better with some repetition.
