140 lb military press 5x5 ( ties current pr),44 kg belt squats,floor pushups, crawls, rear laterals



Man, did I say I hate fives in the press? Well, I hate fives! They are just freakin' hard. Was thinking about 145 but thought better of it after I realized  I had really peaked just last monday. 140 would tie my current pr
That is greedy enough
And, it was hard enough.
Mainly as my left bicep tendon was moving around a lot and there were two extra people in the gym and a lot more distractions. Harder to focus and I did, but it wasn't great

Military Press
stick x 5
bar x 5
65 x 5
 85 x 3
105 x 3
120 x 2
140 x 5 x 5  ties current pr
 as usual when my shoulder is moving around the set up is the hardest part, and once the thing settles then the strength was there. Above video was set 3 and after this it settled down nicely. I was hoping the false grip would prevent this and be that much easier but I'm not sure.
it's easier to drive on the bar but harder to steer it backwards at lockout

44 kg Belt squat
4 sets of 14

legs are toasty oaties

Floor pushups
 3 sets of 30 just taking it easy

Crawls
3 sets of 70 ft

these always make me want to throw up weird

rear laterals
3 sets of 12 with 20's
strong and I can really feel how vital this is to balance the shoulders every time I do them

ok rest up tomorrow then 16 min on wed

Dude, just keep climbing the ladder, one step at a time! Consistency!!!

155 x 3 x 5, 160 x 3 x 5, 20 kg swings 5 x 8/8, floor pushups 40, 35

 Thought about going back to 5x5 for a hot second then my left shoulder  reminded me why I stopped doing them before. It doesn't seem to...
