29 kg speed swings 34 sets 8 RPA, 105-135 press 10 x 3,walking lunges, laterals



This went well. Not enough sleep last night, got woken up at midnight and loss a few hours but overall felt fine. Cough is 99% gone and feel healthy and energetic again and grateful to be so again
Very very grateful

20 kg speed swings
35 sets
280 reps
12,320 lbs work
RPE 8.5

this was tough the last 5 sets and could feel the lack of sleep. HR got up into the 170s and respiration was worked too. hardest I've worked in a while from a good standpoint but I was up to it

Press
65 x 5
85 x 3
107 x 3 x 3
119 x 3 x 3
129 x 3 x 3
135 x 3

first time with this setup with Glenn it's ok but have to get used to it. much better than with my back to his bar. that wasn't going to work

One big revelation about this whole monolift/press setup: MY FEET ARE WAY CLOSE IN THE PRESS now. Much closer than my walkout technique and I think that's a big part of why this feels so strong! My feet are in the same position as my unracking and that seems to be the most stable and strong( see above video)

this has tons of potential

Walking lunges
4 laps of 40.
strong. legs felt looser here than they have in ages

laterals
3 x 8/8 with 15s

BW 169.2
BF 13.1

More press mistakes from today

 1) Gotta engage the rhomboids when setting the low rack position.Lock in 2) Elbows up is crucial 3) 'Straight  up' on the unracking...
