Today, Tuesday
walk 2 mi
14: MP x 5 + WM x 2, lf - posture wasn't perfect on right side windmills and I felt that a little
14: MP x 8 + WM x 1, lf - need to go super slow on the way back up with right side sometime, did that a little bit today but need it more often and to really keep driving the weight up the entire time - elbow feels like it bends a little, tricky to know because my elbows hyperextend but still a thing to be mindful of.

SW, MP+WM, BP, DL, all light
Off Saturday and Sunday
Today, Monday
Cossack sequence, added 1-arm, 2-leg plank after outside hip stretch and before WM.
Q&D-ish: 14 kg 1-arm swing, lf, as in 033. Two series so total 40 swings, 20 per side, 10 per side per series
14 kg: MP x 5 + WM x 1, lf
Repeat
BP: barbell, 95 lbs x 8, focus on figuring out what sort of "break the bar" feels good to my shoulders, and on feeling lined up correctly at lockout - left side doesn't seem to like the lockout position.
DL: on 1-1/2" platform, 120 kg x 10 singles on the :55

DL, Press, WM
Last Wednesday, July 17, I did an Inman walk workout, then took a shower and taught a guitar lesson, and after first noticing my back was quite stiff, realized I'd put my back out, somehow.
It was a pretty unpleasant first few days, but I have righted the ship as of a few days ago. Tuesday, no symptoms at all. From Thursday through Monday, worked on stretching what was tight, but mostly on noticing how overtrained I'd become. The previous week saw a much higher frequency of Inman walks, albeit not a big increase in weekly volume, but I guess spreading out the volume cut into recovery in a serious way. That, plus a long drive in a car with a clutch on the Saturday before, plus some deadlifting, all conspired to overtrain my lower back.
Today, Thursday:
12 kg: MP x 5 + WM x 1, lf, and repeat. This is a "2 x 5" kind of press workout.
long break
Barbell BP: first in a while, bar x 4, 95 lb x 4, x 6 - settled on middle fingers on rings, wore Oly shoes in lieu of using blocks under my feet
DL: 115 kg on 3 board platform (2-1/4") x 12 singles on the :55

Rings: StC + 1 Archer (both sides) before lowering - this was my warmup.
Inman walks - only got in 2 before it started raining, but used 175 lb and went a bit longer than last time.

repeat w/ 12 kg
DL:
conventional on 3" platform

5 singles, double overhand, with a 15-20 second hold in lockout position on each rep. Looking to improve grip endurance for Inman. Did a new rep every 2:00, probably need to wait longer between.

Inman walks
Nothing during the week of July 1 until Friday, July 5 - still eating everything in sight.
Friday, July 5:
Inman walk. 165 lbs, about 150-200 yards on the 10:00, 7 reps total, each rep took about 2-3 minutes depending on walking speed. Lots of experimenting with posture, walking speed, mental imagery, grip width. Had planned on 8 reps but by the end of the 7th rep, it felt like enough. Did this at 3 pm on a hot, humid day.
Nothing else that day except some windmills, also did some windmills yesterday, Saturday
