32 kg swings 20 x 10 ( 30 Min) BW squats 4 x 12, kickstand squats 3 x 5/5, pullaparts 3 x 30

 Slept well last night  so this wasn't too bad


Really focused on legs, locking out and trying to say flexed at the top. also some toe gripping

Want to start focusing back on quads more, belt squat are not getting enough lower quad and I've lost a lot of knee mobility and knee over toe dorsiflexion

Chin press 175 x 1 x 10, 20 kg swings 5 x 5/5, leaning band tri ext

 My hip was acting up from the layback press arching. Right  Rec Fem overstretched. Ive had this before but it was distracting and keeping me from getting under the bar as well but no worries

Surprised I lost the groove so fast, only a  week off BUT I did re introduce a similar but very different motor pattern to screw things up

165 x  1 x 2

175 x 1 x 10

thought  about going to 180 for the last five sets but then thought better

Layback press 200 x 1 x 4 attempts, band pushdowns band reverse curls, laterals rear delt

 All over the place, as it the way it seems. switch to something new/ old, it works great for a few workouts then the searching begins

Slept well, mentally ready just not all there

48 kg swings 20 x 5 22 min (pr), 48 kg belt squats 3 x 8, pistol practice 3 x 4/4, pullaparts

 This kicked my ass and I think mainly it's because we were going so fast. Just Nick and me and it was I go you go. man that was hard to try to maintain height ( which I did pretty well)

Next week starting the cycle with the new, lower heel Do Wins and see how that works. It's been fine ( no neg feedback) on wednesdays and it's definitely a more stable shoe

then back to pistol practice and MAN am I OFF! Looking at the video my knee barely moves over the toe compared to when I was decent at these a few years ago
I think the key is just practicing on my left leg as doing the right tends to tweak the hip/ back I think

Cues are :
1) get hip in front of bar

2) Elbow under the bar

3) Unrack with legs

4) Layback until I see the X

5) Press To the X

Layback Press pyramid 155-190-180, kb press 24 kg 2 x 3/3,

 Well this was a very weird day. All kinds of shit this am and glenn and nick out so I decided to play around a bit

Which I haven't in forever

Tried kb clean and press and man, once again, it's so awkward anymore
16 kg  x 3/3
20 kg x 3/3 x 2
24 kg x 3/3 x 2

Biceps felt weak as shit. IN THE RACK POSITION!
Decided it isn't going to be a main course

Then went back to my old press from the chest. Was pretty upright til 165 when I realized shit was just going to push forward again so layed back a bit and it wasn't too bad

 Was light today ( 171.8) and even though I slept well and nothing hurt I didn't find the same groove as last week. it got done but not as smooth as I would have liked



Chin Press 205 x 1 x 4 (+ 2 misses), floor pushups 3 x 20, rev bar curls 3 x8

 I little sloppy but not bad. Just ran out of tightness and triceps for the last two sets 172.6 13.9
