48 kg swings 10 x 5, 40 kg swings 10 x 5, 48 kg belt squats 4 x 7, pullaparts 3 x 30 3 angles

 This went great better than expected. Everything was fine, my back, hips, grip, technique, mind set. All solid for the first 48 kg swings since January

Dont know yet how I'm going to cycle the weights but this big bell did its job of focusing my mind

Sleep was good again. Didnt use the pillow for the first half of the night then put it under for the rest

Bell height was low but that fine

Parallette wt pushups, 20 kg swings 20 x 5, band pushdowns 4 x 15

Shoulders and elbows behaved
Felt stronger than I thought but I'm used to doing then after max effort presses in the past

bw x 8 x 2

25 lbs x 6

32 lbs x 5 x 7

swings went well if I really focused on not losing inside right heel contact

Didnt realize how much I lost connection til just recently

165 x 1 x 10, floor pushups 25 x 3 ring tricep ext bw,

 This actually went well. Slept ok, no sciatica thank G-d but very nervous




the squat technique standing on yoga blocks from Gabby Venus really seems to instanly unwind the back and balance the hips

This all pushing workout makes sense now. Pushups felt strong and really glad I put them back in

My new wobble board arrives today
