162.5 lb Military press ( pr), 60 kg One Arm swing,lateral complex

well this didn't go as planned but I learned something important. Just like at meals, having two main courses is not advisable. I also learned that trying to do heavy grinds for volume first thing in the morning probably isn't best either, despite the better mental prep than the afternoon. Live and learn. This IS how I learn : Training is the source.

not what I wanted but  there it is. It is a ( very) minor pr never having done 5 with this weight but only 2.5 lbs off my best 5x5 weight I shouldn't even claim it, lol

One Arm Swings


Another surprise: I almost lost the grip on the first set! I didn't take the time to really SET the grip as I do with the 68 and took it too casually and barely held on for the five reps! But I can transfer this thing which is good
Once I set the grip on the next set all was well!
