DDD #27 - Rings, DL

Lifting late today - big day yesterday, w/ relatives staying overnight and 20 people for dinner

AM: walk

PM: Rings - StC x 1

DL: 300 lbs. conventional

all on 1-2 min rest between

x 1, 1, 1 right under

x 1, 1, 1 left under

A good day for being tired

Didn't make up any missed reps from last week, might do that tomorrow if more rested

Make-Up Day: DDD #26: Rings, DL, 1-leg DL

Today, Sunday - not a planned lifting day, but skipped Friday and didn't DL much yesterday, so today:

Rings: StC x 1

DL: 300 lbs. conventional

x 1, 1 double over

x 1, 1 right under

x 1, 1, 1 left under - 1 extra rep was to make up for Friday, so now I'm back on the correct daily schedule but 5 reps 4 reps behind.  And the extra rep was also because it felt good.  All reps 95% tng, all including a slow final lowering.

1-leg DL x 20 kg x 1R/L, 1R/L

DDD #25: rings, 1APU, MP, PU, DL x 1

Skipped planned DDD #25 yesterday - just too tired

So today is DDD #25

Rings: usual

1APU @ 4" x 2L/R, x 1L/R - with my wife watching, try to stay more connected on right, was slow but better

MP: 20 kg x 5L/R, x 5L/R - first time for two sets of five, and at this weight, this is easy to do every day and I will try to do that.  Form is improving.  Today, I focused on turning hips under past neutral and then easing back into neutral before cleaning the bell, and on getting right rack position to be stronger, as left is - right shoulder tends to collapse in rack and then open up during the press, which isn't good.

Archer PU:  xtend rf x 1, lf x 1 - worked on facing front, like a one-arm iron cross - seemed better, tighter

DL: 300 lbs. x 1 right under, just tired, it's 5 PM, not going to push things

DDD #24 - Rings, 1APU, MP, DL

Yesterday, Wednesday - planned off day but got to walk a couple of times.  Was crabby and hungry for a good part of the day.

Today, Thursday

Rings: StC x 1, Archer rf x 1, lf x 1

1APU: @ 4" x 2L/R, 2L/R

MP: 20 kg x 5L/R, 3L/R

Forgot to do some PU - maybe tomorrow

DL:  In a moment of weakness of mind and spirit, I added 2.5 lb plates to the bar because I wanted to do my 95% tng reps with an even 300 lbs.

x 1, 1, 1 right under (least favored), 95% tng

rest as usual in these, about 5 minutes

x 1, 1, 1 left under (favorite), 95% tng

DDD #23 - Rings, Archer PU, 1APU, MP, DL

walk

short on time ...

Rings:

CU x 1 - for height and hold

Stc + FL x 1

Archer PU: xtend rf x 1 - good; xtend lf x 1 - not as good, perhaps just tired

1APU @ 4" x 2L/R, 1L/R

MP: 20 kg x 5L/R

DL: 305 lbs., w/ my wife timing
alternating grip singles on the :30, starting right under, quick drops - total 6, excellent!

-S-

DDD #22: StC, Dragon Flag, Archer PU, 1APU, MP, DL

After a very tiring weekend:

short run at end of breathing walk

Rings: StC + FL x 1

Dragon Flag: 1 - I think these will help the FL, and I need to work up to reps of this.

Archer PU:

extend rf x 1 - I don't keep the ring pulled enough in front of me when I bring it back
extend lf x 1 - better re: above, but easier since that's the starting position

1APU @ 4" x 1L/R, x 1L/R, x 1R/L, x 1L/R - a little rusty

MP: 20 kg x 4L/R - also a little rusty, been missing doing these

DL: was thinking about alternating 285 (72.5%) and 305 (77.5%)

conventional, no double over today

295 x 1, 1, 1 right under tng 95% - lockouts felt good

decided to try 305 here

305 x 1, 1, 1 left under tng 95% - felt a little heavier but not much

Doing some more math, 275 and 315 would be 70% and 80%, respectively - perhaps this is worth a try, although I didn't try 285 and 305, just 295 and 305, so maybe 285 and 305 next.
