No weigh-in. Annoyed my lower back in the right side doing some weed-removal on Saturday. Got it mostly sorted over the rest of the weekend.

10min wake-up walk.


DL to max, medium-V KK stance; 1 x5-70, 120, 170. 1 x3-220. 1 x1-250@6 speed hook, 250@6speed, 270@7speed. 3 attempts at 285. The 3rd one broke and was looking like RPE10 but gettable and then something solid and clicked over my right hip/lower side - whatever was noted from Saturday afternoon.

I feel like it will be fine but it didn’t/doesn’t have the capacity for another ME today.

Thinking back, I may have overextended hips on 250 lockout.


Back offs, 10mins; 4 x1-250. Focused on slack pull.


Larsen press, index on rings; 1 x10-70. 1 x1-120@RIR3, 130@9speed. Felt hard and fatigued but moved well.


Front squat from pins; 2 x5-70. Starting point.


SG DL, beltless; 2 x6-150.


Nordic negatives assisted; 2 x6-bw.
NH full-ROM sit-ups with pause; 2 x10-bw.
Neck extensions, full ROM; 2 x12-30kgs.
Supersetted.


Feeling better after all the other work. Will try to get extra steps in today.

Full body session 2 - anterior empahsis

No weigh-in.

Slept through alarm, no walk.


SSB SQ, heavy top sets, sleeves, OLY shoes; 1 x5-82, 132. 6 x1-182@9speed. Everything tight after Monday.

Back offs, box SQ, full EVA, beltless; 2
x2-132.

Everything tight and stiff in the midsection today, not fully back to normal after Monday.


Bench press to max, index on rings; 1 x10-70. 1 x1-120@5speed, 140@8.5speed, 150-1/2 rep.

Back off paused singles; 5 x1-1230@RIR1-1.5.


Block pulls to max, wide-medium V KK stance; 1 x5-70. 1 x1-120, 170, 220, 270 (hook), 290@8.5speed.

Back off cluster singles set, hook; 5 x1-270.


Gut discomfort from FODMAP and starting late meant I cut out the accessories.

I’m going to go back to a heavy top set exposure and back offs for the squats. Worked better.

Back offs 10mins, hook, slack pull emphasis; 5 x1-250. 6mins. Cut it short.


Incline pin press, pinkies on rings, cluster singles set; 1 x5-70. 1 x5-100. A good starting place. Feeling it in front delts and triceps with this grip.

SSB GMs, beltless; 1 x8-132. Need to build up the hamstrings-adductors and this will do it. Second set next week.

Back offs, 10mins, hook; 2 x1-250 beltless. I let my hips get too high and annoyed the left side of my glute/lower back. Same thing as the other week, but with his time on the left side. Probably too heavy after the 290 for beltless. And also tells me I’m weak.


Bench, index on rings, touch and hold; 1 x10-70. 1 x1-120@RIR4, 130@RIR2.


RDLs; 2 x8-170.


Loading strap rows; 2 x6-60.
Standing pulley abs; 2 x8-60.
Supersetted.


Nordic negatives assisted; 2 x8-bw.
Hanging leg raises; 2 x15-bw. Will set up the ankle weights again.
Supersetted.


Zercher GMs; 1 x8-70.

It’s been a long time since my lower back was my weak link. Not sure what I’ll throw in. Tempted to rely zerchers again and just accept Friday chin-ups will be a bit weaker.
