Axle Press 2 x 60 Second AMRAP @ 50

Resting until recovered.
10/9. Tiring quickly here.

Squat 3 x 5 @ 120

Resting 2 minutes.
Felt like these were heavier then 120.
S3 started on the toes but think i managed to correct.

Bench 4 x 5 @ 87.5

Resting 3 minutes.
Feeling heavy again here.
Last set was tougher. Don’t think I’d have managed 5×5.

Summary

Doubling up today.
Final physio appointment was yesterday and hit me pretty hard.
Still not 100% so skipped accessories and Yoke to focus on the main lifts.

Resting 3 minutes.
Set 1 felt ok.
Set 2 Rep 5 was way on the toes.
Set 3 felt better.

Axle Continental Clean and Press 8 x 2 @ 55

Failing a couple of reps (S3R1, S4R2, S5R1).
Think my rhythm may have been off on transitioning from the belly to the rack position.
All the rest actually felt ok.

Good stuff today.
A little on the toes in the squat but think i managed to fix it for the last set.
Axle feeling good.

Log 2 x 60 Second AMRAP @ 50

Forgot it was strict on set 1 and switched to push press after 5 reps.
Tried to squeeze a rest in set 2 but time ran out.

Sandbag Over Bar 60s/50s AMRAP @ 60

7 rounds total before time ran out.
All good, just wet.

Summary

Gave myself the morning off so this is a post lunch session.
No issues overall. Nice and damp after sandbag over bar in the rain.

Deadlift 2 x 5 @ 135

Resting3 minutes.
Set 1 slow and steady but struggling to get a full breath at the bottom.
Set 2 breathing at the top to see if its any better.

Breath at the top felt bigger but felt like it may have compromised setting my back on the following rep.

Bench 5 x 5 @ 85

Resting 3 minutes.
Set 5 rep 5 clanged on the safety so had to fight it back up.
If not for that then all of these would have been nice and smooth.

Summary

All good this morning.
Cold and bright.
Some experimentation with breathing on deadlift.
