Day 1 of Week 3 happened on Sunday because we traveled to see family for an early Christmas but we're home now. Yesterday did some splits works after cossack sequence and also some headstands poolside at the hotel.
Today is Week 3, Day 2 - overhead press and deadlift.
Warmup - walk a couple of miles w/ my wife, a little of the usual stretching.
OHP - we will substitute, per Marty, the steep incline barbell "bench" press for the usual kettlebell presses, but we'll keep the kb press in there a little, just to stay fresh at it. We'll switch to the 1-arm version:
24 kg clean & press ladder, lf, 1-2-3
IBP (Incline BP):
bar x 3
95 x 8 - work set
This was the perfect weight for a set of 8, last rep a struggle but got it, and a perfect start to IBP for me - this is my first work set ever of these. Overall solid, which the first try at these last week was certainly not.
Backoff sets and to demo for my son: DB BP 25's x 5 - felt great, as they always do.
DL: Frog
135 x 3
205 x 2
235 x 5 - double overhand grip, just wasn't ready to concede this weight to this grip, glad I got this. Took a wide enough grip that I had my entire hand on the knurling, albeit just barely.
Notes - tough on the dear abbies to lower that slowly. Also considering switching to conventional at a 3" deficit for 2nd DL day of the week, will decide on or before Friday.
32: Contralateral 1-leg DL, lf, 1 - tough, need to do these more, but got a single each side.
Onward and Upward
