Day 16
DL, modified V stance; 3-200kg, 1-220kg, 240kg, 250kg, 260kg, 272.5kg@9.5. Slowed to a near stop at my sticking point (base of knee cap), but otherwise fine. Erectors tired after yesterday.
Abs; 10-40kg, 60kg, 70kg.
Facepulls and lower ROM pull-ups. Right shoulder is really saying no to vertical pulling these days.
Evening;
DL, modified V stance; 1-200kg, 220kg, 240kg, 260kg@8, 280kg@9. Felt great.

Day 23
DL, V stance; 3-200kg, 1-220kg, 240kg, 250kg, 260kg, 272.5kg@9.5 speed.
Seated back raises; 5-220kg, 230kg.
Evening;
DL, V stance; 1-200kg, 225kg, 245kg, 265kg@8.5, 285kg@10.
The 285 shouldn’t have been there, and haven’t done a grinder like that in quite a while. Started wondering if I was going to pass out perhaps ... but didn’t, so all good.

Day 24
DL, V stance; 1-200kg, 225kg, 245kg, 3-255@8.5. Probably had 290 on the cards today if I wanted it. But today was for a reps set. Post-baby PR, and getting closer to being back to my strongest.
Both a deadlift bar and safety squat bar are on the way, reverse hyper in December. Getting excited about the prospect of daily DL’ing on the specialty bar.

Day 26
Could be worse, compression bandage last night and again during the workout seems to be holding me together well enough.
DL, V stance; 3-200kg, 1-220kg. 240kg, 250kg, 260kg@8-8.5, 2-270kg@9 speed. Faster and better than last time, which is a nice and encouraging sign.
Abs; 10-40kg, 60kg.
Straight arm pulldowns; 3x8-40kg. These feel incredible on the core. Somewhat akin to a standing ab wheel. Nice on the lats too obv.

Day 27
DL, V stance; 3-200kg, 1-225kg, 245kg, 265kg@8.5, 285@10 speed. This was grindy, no doubt, and probably had no business being there. Didn’t have great pop off the floor but hip and leg drive was still there. Hard to complain regardless. The rep was far better form than grinders were 6-8 weeks ago at the same load.
CG cable row; 8,10-120kg.
Slowly formulating a long term programming approach for deadlifting everyday. I like two months ago, there is noticeable improvement, despite basically just a per-session-volume for frequency switch.
I am trying to figure out the best way up to 290. Probably jumping from 275?
SSB and deadlift bar are each not too far off. Really looking forward to those SSB GMs and pulling the slack out on 27mm.
Evening;
OHP; myoreps; 60kg-12+3+3+3.

DL, V stance; 3-200kg, 1-220kg, 240kg, 250kg 260kg, 272.5kg@9.5-10 speed. Slogging it today. Just a bit tired out. Bumped food and 10mins walks.
Seated back raises; 5-220kg, 230kg, 240kg.
Evening;
DL; 1-200kg, 220kg, 240kg, 265kg, 290kg@9-9.5 speed, no sticking points.
Felt really good, not fast but not grindy, solid technique.

Day 30
DL, V stance; 1-200kg, 225kg, 245kg, 265kg@8.5, 285@10 speed.
Bad sleep due to Soph having a stomach bug.
SSB GM; 5-60kg, 2x5-100kg.
SSB arrived, started playing around with GMs and squats. Well worth the wait and the modest investment. GMs feel incredible on the erectors.

Day 31
DL, V stance; 1-200kg, 220kg, 240kg, 260kg@8, 280kg@9-9.5. Probably had a grinder at 290kg. Was focusing on pulling the slack out a lot, so didn’t cue the leg drive quite right. Very bloody tired after yesterday’s added GMs, so I’m happy with this.
Abs; 10-40kg, 60kg.

Day 32
DL, V stance; 1-200kg, 220kg, 240kg, 260kg@8, 280kg@9 speed. All chalk and hook, no grip issues. According to the internet, straining with straps means I have no grip strength, so I suppose I have to settle for days like today then.
Focused again on pulling the slack out as high up as the bar would go.
Much easier than last weeks 280s were, I feel as though there is definite progression over the past month.
