My schedule is still forcing me to AM sessions but I kind of enjoy it once I get passed that initial first waking stage.
OHP
1X5 @95, 115, 135, 140
1X0 @155
1X8 @135
Running out of ideas for OHP stalling. I might have been beat from six sets of btn snatch grip presses on Wed. Might try to hit 10rm to help get my OHP to budge.
Squat
1X5 @135, 225, 255, 275
1X3 @305
1X8 @255 paused atg
Not sure I was completely satisfied with depth on the last set. I've been emphasizing atg and certain I didn't. But my ramping sets were, and last set of 8 I tried for 1-2 second pause at the bottom.

Did a light Oly session today just to get the blood pumping. Again, the benefits of having weights at home! I worked up a sweat despite temps hovering around freezing. It is a weird feeling being hot but feet and hands bone chillingly cold.
OHS

Mobility is pretty crappy with the OHS. Otherwise I would be doing full snatches by now.

Got rolling again this morning and hit a wall. I wake up with a stiff back about 50% of the time, I realized this right away but couldn't get back to sleep after the alarm went off early. Figured I'd give it a go anyway.
OHP
1x8 @95, 115, 135
1X2 @145 going for 8
Squat

Missed 285 on the first rep, did a couple back off sets to salvage the session.

Feel like my stiff back was responsible for crappy OHP and cerainly my squat. Looks like back to evening workouts til further blips in the schedule. Shame because I do like lifting in the morning now...
-
When I get a bug up my ass about something, I keep doing it til it's (almost) too late. Got in another morning workout with plans on conditioning later tonite...hopefully I come out alive.
Squats
1x5 @135, 135, 225, 265, 265 last two paused atg
Deads
1X5 @225, 315, 345, 345, 345
1X4 @345
Couldn't budge 365 (let alone 395), and remembered reading a few threads from a miscer who is much lighter but deads much more. His program was 5x5...I kind of have the feeling that I could benefit from something similar to work on form and volume. But I missed the 4th set.
Klokov press
1X5 @95, 115, 115
-
So, I think I overdid it slightly last week. After my AM/PM session Wednesday, I still went out for conditioning Thursday and was gassed Friday. Got in some OHP and failed on squat. Worked in my squat session on Saturday but failed my heavy set. That's ok because 305x5 might have been a tall order today.
The wife gave me my Xmas present early today, a pair of squat stands. This was much appreciated today!
OHP
1X5 @95, 115, 135, 155
Focused on keeping elbows in on the initial push. And since OHP is inherently tougher than, and since I don't bench, I am doing the prescribed 4 sets of OHP as Bill Starr suggests but moving up in weight like you would on bench.
Squat
1X5 @135, 225, 255, 275, 295
Focus was on bouncing out of the hole, I think that's holding me up a bit. Still trying for atg on each rep.
Pullups
29
I was able to do these on my new stands with the bar. The bar is thicker than my pullup bar that fits in the door. This might take a week or two to get used to but think it will benefit my grip.

Tried for some Oly lifts but Klokov press before hindered my snatches and grip/wrist was too worn to clean properly.
Pendlay rows

Might try a max dead next week for kicks. Weight training will be limited Xmas week.

Was supposed to do 305x3 according to programming, but because of vacation in a week and a half and the fact that I spent two and a half Weeks at 305 I went for 5 reps. Last one was ugly. Hope to rep 315 next Friday.

Going out of town for Xmas, trying to do my MF routine at a gym where I am staying. Probably will end up doing s lot of assistance (like rdl, etc) since I will have had a free day. Hoping to rep out 325 by next Fri.

This was my first time lifting at a normal gym. It was pretty well equipped, but saw all of the stereotypes in a little over an hour. There was a 50yo miscer half repping BP, dude curling in squat rack, a PT instructing clients 1/3 ROM on leg press, another miscer half squatting on his toes...all kinds of preacher curls. I will go back t Thurs and report back.

Might get one for the home gym and work these in on off days.
Saw plenty of gym idiots/miscers. The only other people squatting was an hbb doing front squats and some miscers that looked like they were going to get stapled to the floor. Probably nothing new to the few readers of here, I fine it astounding...
Hopefully I can get in the proper swing of things again Monday.

Another crappy workout
Front squat

1X0 @245 Missed at the bottom. I was a little too far from the safety catches but not far away enough from the stands. I dropped the bar on plate holders and damaged one. Fark! A big washer should fix it though.
Deads
1X5 @225, 315, 365, 365, 365
Felt a little twinge in my back and called it a day. Don't think it's serious though. Probably overdid it (did 200 lighter plate swings yesterday.)
-
Still on deload
Switched it up a little with rep schemes, back was still a little sore, not in a spasm-y way, kind of in between low back and left oblique. Couldn't do one plate on back squat so I did 5x5 fronts.

Did 230 plate swings (210 with two plates) in 23 mins. Averaged ten per minute. Might try to make some tbar kettlebells tomorrow with my standard plates.

This is good practice for racking the bar on my shoulders. Resetting (the catch) seems to be the hard part.

Mirin progress, bro!
Did some reps of some things today, but overall didn't amount to much. Still in a funk. Nothing worth reporting today. Looking forward to the next foot post, however.

I think these help with grip for deads. Back has been feeling better we shall see Wed if it helps with moving bigger weight. I know it made the first pull on cleans last week feel like a breeze.

Tried a few KB swings and grip was a factor. The kettlebell giveth, and taketh away. Probably had been overdoing it a bit lately, anyway. On Tuesdays and Thursdays have been doing random conditioning which could consist of hiit calisthenics or sprints. Going to take a rest day tomorrow and reevaluate Wednesday. Pulling lifts might be an issue for a few days. Might need to switch to AM workouts to change things up, too. Sucks that I am further behind on squats than one month ago.
