Light press, walking lunges, floor pushups PR , laterals



Felt ready to go today although it's still hot as shit. But at least the hard work is over. Still really enjoying the stress reduction from this schedule shift. It's little things like this, that you never know til you do them , have such a huge effect on everything.
That's why you have to experiment and not be satisfied til everythings' running smoothly as it's ever been

Press
65,85, 105 x 5
117 x 5 x 3
129 x 5 x 2
139 x 5

Mostly pauses with holds at top working on high on the neck setup and driving the bar back from the start. worked well and even the 139 moved fast and easy

walking lunges
4 laps of 40 steps

this was freaking hard. legs tired and hot as hell. no wind or shade

floor pushups
3 sets of 5!! all time PR

surprisingly strong. Thought about this and realized I need to make this day about really pushing the floor pushups. the bar press is light so no worries there but make this a tough one. and it was. this is the key exercise for me these days for my press

Laterals
3 x 10/10 with 15s

these are the best they've been in years

BW 172.6
BF 13.8

190 x 1 x 12, 210/225 static holds, 24 kg goblet squats, floor pushups 30, 20

 This went VERY well almost all reps identical. Realized I get better drive AND minimize shoulder stress if I unrack it with more weight on ...
