Burned out so easy: 20 kg c&p, 16 kg snatch

Feeling pretty burned out from yesterday's deadlifts.

Today:

20 kg: c&p x 2L, 2R, 2L, 2R w/ no break, c&p x 3L, 3R

16 kg: snatch 10L + 10R - haven't done snatches in forever, trying to keep bell close on the way up and have a straight flip over on the way down.

Heaviest DL Day, so DL only, 305 x 3 singles (6 were planned)

Walk about 2 mi, not much stretching

DL - again, trying to stay flatter in the back and more upright.

225 x 3 double over

275 x 1 double over

305 x 6 singles as

left over x 1, short rest, right over x 1

longer rest

right over x 1, short rest, left over x fail

longer rest

left over x fail again, albeit hung out there for longer

Prudence dictates that I stop here for today.  CNS is fried from that last attempt.

Just felt like I couldn't push hard against the ground, and it felt like the new form.  Watched the video - shaky legs.  Taking the 2nd rep after only short rest was the beginning of my problems today, and the 3rd rep was shaky.  The 4th failed after about 2 second, and the next attempt took about 6 seconds.

Ugh...

Qigong, Walk, Warmup for DL but postpone

AM: walk 2 mi, short qigong including crane pistol each side, first time I'd done a pistol in the last week or so.

PM:  OHS w/ stick, 40 kg 2-hand swings x 8 or so, ZDL 145 x 3 touch-n-go - first time I can remember doing multiple reps of the ZDL.  Dear Abbies were tired by the end, felt like they might cramp but they didn't.

DL:  was going to do 5th day of plan today, but I am tired and my back is tired, so I will wait until tomorrow.  Not 100% sure this is the right choice but better more than enough rest compared to too little rest.

DL 285 x 8 singles

Sunday - still at SFG-II, no DL today - will take the rest day and also have a decent drive to get home tonight.

Monday - walk 2 mi to warmup.

Double kb press: 10 kg x 2 bells x 2 reps, 16 kg x 2 bells x 2, x 2 again and walk a few steps.  First 16 kg double started to push on bad nerve/disc in back, fixed it for second set and walk.

These are for postural purposes, not for strength.

DL: 230 x 1 (what was on the bar) overhand, 285 x 8 singles - trying to keep the stiffer upper back that Jeremy Layport and Phil Scarito were talking about, tough as the weight starts to approach what my legs can do.  4 double over, then alternated over/under for the last four.

SFG II, DL

At SFG Level II, where I am teaching this weekend

Friday:  DL 250 x 12 singles as over, left over, right over x 4.  Warmup ZDL 135, 155

Saturday: DL 270 x 10 singles as 6 over, rest alternating left over, right over.  Warmup ZDL 145, 165

-S-

DL

No lifting yesterday but did get to walk a couple of mile.  Raining today pretty hard so no walk.

Brief bit of stretching then

24 kg swing, 5L+5R, break, 5R+5L

ZDL: 135 x 1, 145 x 1

DL: 230 x 15 singles.  To make counting easier, I did 1 overhand, 1 left over, 1 right over, and did that 3 times for 15 total

That's it for today - time to go to SFG Level II in Philly.

ZDL, SQ, BP, DL

Yesterday, 3 hours of driving, so just some stretching, qigong on the front porch, and a bit of walking.

Today, Tuesday, a bit of walking, a bit of stretching, then


Zercher DL: 135 x 1 - haven't done these in a while, x 1 again - better


SQ: Steinborn from left, 135 x 8, steinborn down on left.  Left knee feels a little funny, must not have been tracking well.


BP: Incline, bar x 5, 95 x 5 - good!  That's 4th notch above flat

BP: 2nd notch above flat, 95 x 5, 115 x 5

BP: 1st notch above flat, 115 x 5, 135 x 3 - getting tired


DL: 225 x 5, soft touch-n-go, 225 x 5 singles, all double overhand, total 10 singles, up from 6 two days ago, good.

Enough for today!
