BP (wk 1 #1), Health/DL @ 4" to 383 lbs.

Today:

walk

Rings: StC + FL x 1

BP - latest PS cycle, thank you, John!
This week will be 1, 3, 2

95 x 4
115 x 2
135 x 5
145 x 2
165 x 1
115 x 2

Health/DL -

DL w/ weights elevated 4", all quick negatives

225 x 1, 1 double over
295 x 1 double over
361 x 1 r/u (+15 kg plates = 66 lbs.)
383 x 1 l/u (+5 kg plates = 22 lbs.) - stand tall for a while at lockout
405 x fail l/u (again + 22 lb) - felt lower back just give up.  Nothing broken/torn/whatever, stopped right away, but I could just feel it didn't want to bear this load, even from 4" off the floor.

Very interesting, first time for these, probably best to try for 383-ish next time but for more than one single

Also was after BP, maybe better to put these on a day by themselves next week.

DL

Today, Saturday;

Big DL Day.  Week #3, session #4, 39 lifts in 9 sets.  29 DL's may be a person record for a training day.

BP

Yesterday, Friday:

Walk

BP 1RM test

95 x 3
135 x 2
155 x 1
175 x 1
185 x fail - probably not enough rest before this one

Later, worked w/ my son and some of his friends, did a bunch of swings, some Zercher SQ, some barbell cleans and FSQ.

DL

walk

DL: week 3, session #2

225 x 5 double over, paused tng

275 x 6 as singles l/u (favored grip), reset at the bottom, all pretty good although breathing was harder by the end

225 x 5 r/u

BP

Walk

BP, Week 3, session 3 (this week is 2, 3, 1)

95 x 7
125 x 5
135 x 5
145 x 2
160 x 1
135 x 6
125 x 5
135 x 3
125 x 5

All w/ no rest other than to change the weights, then stand at the rack and take 3 breaths, then have at it again.  By the end, I was near my limits to finish the reps, but that's OK, I think.  This is likely the most BP I've even done in a single session.
