Press, DL

Bunch of cossack sequence and some cossacks into overhead press w/ 12 kg, used 12 kg for windmills also.

Did something to left shoulder at the catch of one of the snatches yesterday, but worked it out this morning, and pressing feels good.

20: mil press, lf, 5 - same as Monday

DL:  Monday was 225 x 10 singles, switching alternating grips, on the :30
start w/ worse grip, left over, so finish each pair w/ favored grip

Today:

225 x 2 overhand, touch-n-go
235 x 8 singles on the :30, 2 double over, 3 left over, 3 right over

Maybe this for the following 3 weeks

225 x 5 t-n-g, 255 x 5 singles - Wed

225 x 4, 245 x 2 t-n-go 265 x 4 singles - Mon

PU, SN

Interesting day.  Buteyko Breathing (oxyinside.com) on front porch was challenging today, just a little tired and a little sore.

PU:  bw + 10 kg on left foot x 5, my usual partial false grip.

walk 2 mi

18: snatch, 6/min, lf, just one set each set w/o putting bell down.  Challenge is lower back getting tight in lockout position.  Glad I didn't go heavier with this today, definitely some form issues to sort out in lockout position, must be over-extending lower back.  All nose breathing.

Press, DL

Busy weekend.

Didn't lift Friday - don't recall why.

Saturday, first memorial service at church, lots of playing, went very well but exhausted, took a nap.

Sunday, church again, work on organ with a choir member, took another nap.  My wife says maybe I'm getting over a little bug of some sort.

Monday, today:

walk, stopped in park and did Cossack sequence and splits.

20 kg: mil press, lf, 5

DL: 225, alternating over/under grips, 10 singles on the :30 - nice workout.  Definitely feel better with right hand over and left hand under.

Am considering trying PU and SN tomorrow and seeing if I can alternate days.

Press, DL

Walk yesterday and earlier today

20 kg: mil press, rf, 3 - and that's it, short on time and that's actually what I feel like doing.

DL: 225 on the back, 3 x 3.  First and third triples left over and right under, middle the other way.  Each triple reset on the floor - loosen up without letting go of the bar, take the slack out and pull again.  About 2 min between sets.

Nice, 9 total reps, up from 5 on Monday - we're getting back on the horse.

Trying to get back on the horse, a few light presses and light DL's

Yesterday, Sunday, a few light presses and DL's while training someone.

Today, more of the same - trying to get back into lifting on a schedule again.

Earlier, good stretching session and nice, long walk.

20 kg: mil press, lf, 1-2 w/o putting bell down.

rest

lf, 3

DL: 225, narrow sumo, touch-n-go: 5 reps, very light touch, a good beginning.

Back sore, just some light DL

Drove a couple of hours each on Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, and on Sunday carried an 85 lb. concrete gargoyle my wife bought about 1/2 mile across the Lambertville-to-New-Hope bridge.  Back was feeling sore and out of sorts yesterday, and while better today, still not 100%, so I decided to easy back in with

DL: 135 lb x 3, 3 conventional stance, touch-n-go

DL, PU, SN

DL:

225 x 5 touch-n-go

255 x 2 touch-n-go, right over

275 x 1 left over

295 x 1 left over - a little slow through the sticking point, thought about pushing the floor away and that helped.

PU: bw x 11, 9 - 20 in a session is a recent PR.

SN: 18 kg: 74 in 5:00

00:00 7L/R
01:00 7L/R
02:00 7L/R
03:00 7L/5
04:15 10L/8R

Pretty miserable in terms of breathing at end, first few minutes OK.
