More Presses, Pullups, and a few DL variations

A little stretching, about 2 mi walk

32 kg: 10 x 2-hand swings

40 kg: 10 x 2-hand swings

* Will press 5-3-2 today, doubling my volume from 2 days ago.

20 kg: press x 5L, 5R, 1 min rest, 20 kg pullup right, normal (not false) grip

20 kg: press x 3L, 3R, no rest, 20 kg pullup left, normal (not false) grip

20 kg: press x 2L, 2R, no rest, 20 kg pullup right, false grip

Played w/ some AWA lifts:

* With 100 lbs. on bar:

1 hand suitcase DL x L, R - not an AWA lift but I like it, anyway

1 hand straddle DL x L, R

1 leg DL x R, L, R, L - tough

* Switch to Okie bar loaded to 225 lbs.

Straddle DL x R front, L front

* Enough of that

Hack DL: 225 x 1, 275 x fail, 275 x fail but got further - am pulling the bar into my body too much, 275 x 1 - it's humid and I'm sweaty, and I think some of this was the bar sticking to my legs on the way up.  Anyway, got the lift - finally.

Conventional DL - an awful, wobbly thing, but up it went, so 275 x 1
