150 lb Military press 5 x 3, 155 x 3 x 2 !! PR, 48 kg belt squat, floor pushups,crawls, rear laterals

Just as I had hoped! 150 for 5 sets of 3 was solid so I upped the weight to 155 and 3 sets of 2 was even better.
Raised the floor an inch by putting a square of gym mat under the rack and it was not too soft, as I feared. And it really really helped my unracking of the bar and my left biceps tendon issue(which was doing well anyway). But raising the floor an inch made a huge difference in my take off, which made a huge difference in my press



It takes me forever to warmup but I can't rush it. 5 warmup sets and 8 work sets!

set four of five

yeow! glute burn! this bigger bell makes the depth higher but works the hell out of my already fatigued glutes. most excellent :)

Floor pushups

lol was not planning on 40 for second set but music was loud and misheard the count. Last set was strong so I went for it too. Not bad, especially after all the bar presses

Crawls
3 laps of 70 ft fast
these were very strong today

rear laterals
3 sets of 15 with 15's

these were almost too light! nice
