120 lb Military Press 5x5, 40 kg belt squat, floor pushups,crawls, rear delt



Glad I made myself take this deload. I almost talked myself into trying 140 for 5x5 one more time but knew better. Today's weight felt SO light. It's not too long ago at all that this was my 5x5 pr and was as hard as 140 is now

The lighter weight also let me play with technique and position a bit and I think I figured something out. Instead of looking up I looked straight ahead during the press and didn't have ANY reps that drifted forward. Perhaps it's just cause it's lighter but it felt great AND my lockout seemed better
We'll see if it holds next week

Military press
 stick x 5 x 2
bar x 5
65 x 5

much less layback needed for this, again, we'll see it holds at heavier weight

off plates, strong and wind was good

Floor pushups

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 ...
