#BLOC #Lifting

Deadlift 1×1 @ 120

Resting 2 minutes.
Back feeling stiff most of yesterday and this morning so going light.
Top set moved ok but didn’t feel good.
Leaving it after a single set of 3 on the back set.

Squat 10×2 @ 104

Resting 30 seconds.
Again calling it early here. Only 6 sets.
Felt way more comfortable than deadlifts but increasingly painful at the bottom of the movement as the sets went on.

Hollo Body Holds 3xAMRAP @ BW

Resting 90 seconds.
Don’t think the upper back is coming up too far.

Summary

Not great this morning. Bailed on both main lifts early.
Will be looking for some sports massage places to see if I can get the back rehabbed any quicker.

Pin Bench 1×1 @ 100

Resting 2 minutes.
Not sure on height…
Top set felt pretty good.
Back sets a little tougher.

Strict Press 3×5 @ 50

Resting 2 minutes on first 2 sets and 3 minutes before the last set.
Felt like I’m almost on the limit of capabilities here so had the extra minute rest.
Will increase overall rest not time here I think.

Push Press 10×2 EMOM @ 52

All good here.
Nice cool down after tough strict press.

Summary

Delts feeling it today!
Back not too bad this morning but suffered a fair bit most of yesterday afternoon. Think I need to remain cautious on Deadlifts for the time being.
