210 x 1, 205 x 1 x 4, laterals rear delts pushdowns

 Great day! THE SHOULDER FELT NORMAL! Unbelievable. This one had me worried. Made the lower bar rack adjustment and everything was strong. No clunking, plus realizing the low(er) rack position is important.

Fast walk! 3 miles in 44 min!

 Damn this was the right call! Shoulder feeling great so I didn't want to load it and had one of the best fast walks ever!

Hit the ground running and it was easy

lap 1 7:30

lap 2 7.29

lap 3 7:17

lap 4 7:07

lap 5 7?

lap 6 6:59!


felt like I could fly or at least run!!

Need to add these in every so often

179 x 1 x 8, 20 kg swings 5 x 5/5,laterals, rev band pushdowns

 Shoulder felt 85% normal when I got moving in the morning but as soon as I loaded the bar a bit it started aching. Not terrible but not right. Definitely felt like first rib was still partly out and bicep tendon a bit too

Took it pretty easy and the groove and reps were solid

Put the bar a touch lower than monday  and that felt right

220 x 1 ( 35th) 215 x 1, 210 x 1, 205 x 1 x 2

 This went great! Except for a little left shoulder grinding on the 220 it was awesome ( a consequence of letting the elbows flare) 
BUT 

195 and 205 were about as good as I've done them on the warmup.

220 moved great but elbow shoulder thunked a it at sticking point even with the false grip

Still nailed 215 but missed 210 out in front. adjusted and made it over strongly. then 2 x 1 with 205

SO HAPPY 

the TWO key cues are

STIFF LEGS

X

that's it. if I start with stiff legs then immediately re focus on the X I can get under the bar. If I lose the X it's out in front

195 x 1 x 13, 225 static holds 3 x 4 sec, 20 kg swings 5 x 5/5, floor pushups 2 x 30

 I was tired and sore from Monday so it took extra long to warmup and get dynamic. On days like this I SHOULD go lighter  for the first 4-5 sets. it make no sense to grind on wednesay

Out of the 13 sets only 4-5 were decent. the technique  was right but everything was tight. didn't really feel comfortable under the bar. even the bar wasn't sitting that well on my chest

BUT all in all strong Just not crisp
