Light Straddle DL, more PU

A couple of walks today, and tired from 3 days in a row of lifting, so

Straddle DL: 135 x 5 right in front, 5 left in front, both touch-n-go

12 kg: press x 2, windmill x 1 R/L

PU: bw, 12 - finally, and just had to keep doing reps to get this far, 6 - disappointing, but not enough time to rest between sets

Another walk.

DL, PU, SN

DL:

235 x 2 singles, right over (warmup)

275 x 2 singles, left over (work)

255 x 5, touch-n-go, double overhand (backoff)


PU: 10, all AA to above or to

SN: 20 kg, 8L+8R in about :50, no more for today

3rd training day in a row, am taking it easy on PU and SN, so

Rest 5:00

SN: 18 kg, 16L+16R in 1:30

Handle on 18 kg is much smoother, makes this easier, not just the weight.

Tomorrow needs to be 3 sets of PU, at least

Quickie DL/PU/SN

Quickie session between students

DL: 235 x 3 singles double over

PU: 4, clavicle to bar and pause

SN: 20 kg, 7L/R, short break, 5R/L - still not right in t-spine when swinging back on right side, but perhaps improving.

A little DL, PU, SN

I am feeling under-exercised since the car accident, so I'm going to try to do a little something every day this week.  Kept the volume moderate today, hope to do similar tomorrow


DL:  225 x 2 singles left over, 225 x 3 singles right over, rest, 255 x 1 double over, rest, 275 x 1 left over

PU:  bw x 10, 8

SN: 18 kg, up from 16 kg, doesn't really feel much different.  Tried 10 on the :60 so 10L, 10R, x 3, 60 reps in 5:30.

DL, PU, SN

Was going to lift yesterday, Wednesday, but perhaps because of the ice cream sundae my wife and I shared on Tuesday night, I didn't feel good yesterday so I put off the workout until today.

DL: 255 x 5 singles on short rest, alternating grips.  Today, left over and right under felt better - go figure.  Started with that and alternated every rep.

PU:  all AA over the bar: 10, 8

SN: 16 kg:

pulse still high from PU, did on the :60: 7L/R, 7R/L, 7L/R - smoked, stopped.  Everything good but pulse/wind.  Still nose breathing but just didn't want to do more.  Only 42 reps but 16/min.

DL, PU, SN

DL: narrow sumo,

225, right over and left under x 3 singles - felt good - this seems, from reviewing old competition footage of me lifting, to be my favored grip.

255, left over and right under x 3 singles - felt this grip is awkward and especially weak off the floor

PU: trying two sets today, so 7, rest 5:00, then 8 - good, and big, increase in total volume from 9 in a single set last workout.  Using a slightly false grip again.

SN:  16 kg

Alternated 6+5 R/L and L/R on the :60 for 8 sets so 88 in 7:30 that way, then on the last :60, 10L+10R w/ no break, total 108 reps in 8:45.  Last time was 80 reps in 7:30 for 10.67 reps/min, this time for 12.3 reps/min.  Faster pace, greater volume today.  Newbie/returnee gains for sure but I'm pleased.

A more sensible training day

Monday, overdid it.

DL: 225 x 1, 275 x 1, 300 x 1 - 300 was too heavy, back sore afterwards

PU: bw, 8 reps

SN: 14 kg, 10L/R on the :60 for 2 sets

First DL session in a couple of weeks, just went stupid heavy, also did alternate grip for the first time in months, just not smart.

Tuesday was still sore, Wednesday almost as good as new.  Today, Thursday:

DL:  narrow sumo

135 x 1 each over/under grip,

(225 x 1 each over/under grip) x 2


PU: - used a kettlebell to get a better height at which to grab the bar, got a partial false grip, felt good.

SN: 16 kg, alternate 5L/R w/ 5R/L on the :60, total 80 reps in 7:30, all nose-breathing,which is pretty cool
