WM, MP, SW, etc

Took yesterday off.  Have not been getting quite enough sleep - my wife has a cold, and this morning, the cat woke me up at 4 AM because he wanted to go outside.

Today, Thursday

Bar hang: bw for a bit, then bw + 12 kg for :50 seconds.  Didn't watch the clock, just looked over right before I came down

Dip: deep stretch + 3 reps.  Trying to integrate the deep stretch into reps, so deep but not too long

Shoulders, overall, feeling good, and body getting used to a lot of double bass practice again as well.

WM: bw + 1L/R

Rings: StC + angled FL x 1

WM: 10 kg x 2L/R

SW: 160 lbs x 10, 5 - getting lats dialed in on 2nd set

Walk

First Day Post-Meet, Play: Stretch, Heavy Swing, Light Kb Presses, Rings

Saturday, busy day after the meet, dog tired at night

Sunday, still dog tired all day, still overtired even after a nap

rake leaves for ~15 minutes

rake leaves for another ~15 minutes

MP: Kettlebell,
12 kg x 5L/R
16 kg x 5L/R

WM: 8 kg, palm to floor, OMG haven't done this in a while

Rings:

Played with starting a FL from the ground - definitely works chest/shoulder things I don't have yet.  Good to do

Raised Rings by about 1 inch

StC x 1 - didn't notice any difference in ring height, truth be told

StC w/ 2 lb. dumbbell between feet - got around OK but got uncoordinated trying to come back while not dropping the dumbbell, and therefore just dropped out of the lift.  Extra 1" of height on the rings was, again, not noticeable.

Archer PU x R/L/R/L and down.  Trying to keep straight down legs rather than L-sit, which is its own challenge.

USA PL Meet

Saturday, November 10 - Philadelphia USAPL meet

Weighed in at 65.7 kg

SQ - 75, 80, 85 kg, all good, that's 165, 176, and 187 lbs.

BP - 75, 80 kg good, nervous about right shoulder but left side failed me at 85 kg

DL - 145 kg good, 165 kg fail

Not a great day, felt off my lifting game throughout.  Felt basically relaxed but had a hard time concentrating.

Stretch, SW, Rings

Today, Tuesday

1 dip stretch
1 dip stretch into 1 full dip

SW: 160 lb. t-handle x 7

windmills and toe touches

Rings: StC + angled FL x 1

SQ, BP, SW, DL - light/short in advance of meet

Today, Monday

walk

Lift at 11 AM

SQ: bar x 3, 135 x 3 paused and exhaled, 155 x 2, 175 x 1 - slow at sticking point but kept moving

BP: 155 x 5 - recent PR at this weight, might have had another.

SW: Got my t-handle, put 6 x 25 lbs. on it and swung for 5 reps - very interesting...

DL: 245 x 2 double over, touch-n-go

Walk

Yesterday, Thursday

Feeling tired and overtrained, possibly because my stomach is less than 100% well today.

Walked 3 miles to pick up car.

Did DL @ 245 lbs x 2 singles, and some bar hangs, and that was it for lifting.
