Just get through.


Its always those days when I have no good reason not to have a good workout that I really struggle. Slept really well, had a cancellation and got to start early and spent an half hour stretching twice this am before the workout. And yet it was a freakin struggle to get going and every set after that! Pure exercise in willpower to finish what I had planned. I wasnt particularly weak just not motivated. Oh well, I got over it.

Pullups
5,6,7,8
5,6,7,8
5,5,5,5

72 total reps done touch and go style, all reps chin over bar

supersetted with Bottoms up cleans
36x5/5
44x5/5
53x5/5
62x4/4
x5/5
x5/5 these were just a grind. no problem but no flow, just work.
53x6/6
44x8/8

The last sets of five chins were supersetted with waiters walks
36x1200 feet in sets of 2oo per arm.

15 minutes Rifga

these too were just tight and stiff.Need more beef I think.

bw 163.6
bf 10.6%

the mirror says much leaner.

datsit, staying loose

Hey Rif some days just like that. Good on you for getting it done.
How you finding the change to the beta version? Did you have to change the blog address?

ken,

I like the new version for editing and options but its still buggy; can't comment on other( non beta version blogs). I kept my own addy but had to get another blog so I could comment on the non beta versions!

Great to know that you can persevere during those difficult will power days. Keep it rocking Rif!

Nice cleans!

190 x 1 x 12, 210/225 static holds, 24 kg goblet squats, floor pushups 30, 20

 This went VERY well almost all reps identical. Realized I get better drive AND minimize shoulder stress if I unrack it with more weight on ...
