WM, DL, SQ

Today, Thursday

Lots of windmills - bodyweight only for 3 each side, then a bunch of alternating singles with a 6 kg, then a double @ 6kg to finish, everything LF (left side first). Did the dip stretch after the bw-only and before the weighted, also experimented with shrugging into the dip stretch position.

Good day w/ windmills, all in all - form is better.

DL - as always lately, standing on 3" platform

110 x 5 singles, double over, about OTM

120 x 1 r/u, x 1 l/u

130 x 1 r/u, x 1 l/u

Very interesting that my "preferred" grip, l/u, seems slower through my sticking point that's a few inches off the ground. I don't know if this is because it's the second lift with the same weight on relatively short rest, or because l/u really isn't my best grip.

Next time, will try l/u first and r/u second to see what we think.

Still playing with keeping the bar pulled close and sitting back at the start, also slightly narrower, slightly more turned out stance, also getting tighter at the top by opening groin, lengthening spine, flexing upper back muscles, and more.

Later, a fun thing with a barbell as Inman prep

Every :55, a single HBBS with 75 lbs, and stand there in between. 8 reps, so almost 7 minutes with the bar on my back. All the squats were prying, very deep, and 5 seconds at the bottom, and felt great.
