Week 5, Day 2: BP and DL 325 x 2

Yesterday, variety -

Pistol left on porch, very deep with hold and release pressure at bottom, same for pistol right

Straight into 2-step 1A1L pushup right, then left.

Rest, repeat two more times for a total of 3 super-sets.  Form at both of these is improving.


Today, Thursday, BP and DL

BP:  middle fingers on rings:

bar x 5

135 x 3

160 x 1

180 x fail - right at sticking point, fought with it a bit, then spotter (my son) helped, lousy setup, too, no tightness because lower back was hurting.

160 x 2

switch pinkies just inside rings:

140 x 3

switch to grip in middle of knurled section

135 x 4 - still not breaking the bar nearly enough, played with this at lockout, need it all the way through


DL:

4 sessions left: 325 today, 335 on May 30, 345 on June 6,  355 on June 13, all planned for doubles

on 3" platform

225 x 3 overhand - nice form, got more legs into it today

275 x 1 overhand

on 2-1/4" platform

305 x 1 left under

325 x 2 right under - had planned on a set of 3 and a set of 2, but one double felt like plenty today - getting heavy.
