Start Lifting Again

Yesterday, Wednesday, just a crazy, non-stop day.  No exercise, no walking, just a little stretching.  Also was pretty sore from both the meet and the day before's many goblet squats.

Today, Thursday:

Walk 2 mi.

Cossack sequence and other stretching.

20: windmill, lf, 1

Zercher DL: now on Oly bar for a while: 135 x 1, 175 x 1 - almost ab cramp lowering it but both lowerings were really solid, light touch-downs.

FSQ: 135 x 1, pause, exhale, repressurize, and up.  Rusty at these, not easy today or at least not as easy as I'd like

SQ:  135 x 5, 155 x 5 - videotaped, not deep enough, or maybe barely deep enough.  Going for PL style, low bar, wide-ish stance, probably just need more time to get used to dropping my hips in the hole deeper. Might need a wider turnout, or at least a bigger focus on pushing knees out.

BP: 115 x 3, 4 - not great but a start.  It's what was on the bar and good enough for me for today.  Lower back still does not like bench pressing's arch.

DL: - all double overhand grip

225 x 2 singles - lower back not happy after bench

225 x 3 - fresh breath at bottom but didn't let go of the bar - back loosening up some, brain remembering how to deadlift.

24: swing, 1-handed, lf, 5's up to 30 total, no breaks.

Later:

PU: 1 bw slow, controlled, paused

PU: bw + 20 kg on left then right, long hang before take-off, solid rep, paused, long hang at bottom - these felt _great_

Onward and Upward
