165 lb Press 4 x 5, 1x 3 PR!, 40 kg belt squat, floor pushups, laterals



VERY VERY good day. While not perfect it was more than I had hoped for. I was thinking of 3x5 and 2 x 4 with 165 but I got 4 sets of 5 and 1 x 3. Just got tired at the end and hit triceps death :)

But can't complain at all. Figured out a few things too and that's always worth it's weight in gold. I was stretching through the hips on the descent trying to create a bow like effect. It worked ok but not as good as the usual descent followed by a hip thrust to initiate. Only way to find these things out is to test them and that I did.

Part of the reason I missed the last rep was fatigue from a couple very slow reps brought on by mistiming the descent. No worries

 Another decently strong one. Cool weather again and that helps.. Calves were tight, the only thing slowing me down 45 lb ruck 6 laps 3 mile...
