#BLOC #Lifting

Block Pull 1 x 1 @ 150

Resting 2 minutes.
Top set moved smooth. Probably another 10kg in the tank for RPE but didn’t want to risk it while I’m still getting used to the lower blocks again.
Back set (1 x 5 @ 120) all reps felt good. A little off RPE again but playing it safe.

Circuit 3 Laps

Resting 90 seconds.

Banded Chins – 3 x AMRAP @ BW
All good here. Last couple of reps on each set a little questionable!

Push Press – 1 x 3 @ 60 – 2 x AMRAP @ 50
Theres felt ok. Maybe should have rested mid set on the 2 lighter sets but managed some ok rep ranges.

Tyre Flip – 3 x AMRAP @ 100
Forgot to get the tyre out for the first set… had to roll it over in my transition phase.
Last set was struggling with grip under the tyre then blocked myself off with where the workbench was placed.

Summary

Feeling good this morning. 
Everything moving nicely. 
Hopefully this continues for my annual physical tomorrow. Will be interested to see if my numbers there have improved at all.

#BLOC #Lifting

Squat 3 x AMRAP @ 120

Resting 3 minutes.
3×5. Feeling heavy today.

Circuit 3 Laps

Resting 90 seconds.

Safe Press – 70 – 0
Clean Pull – 40 – 11
Pinch Hold – 20 – 10s over 4/5 pickups.

Safe press – Tried a lower bar start and a push press but yoke is still just slightly too heavy.

Clean pulls all ok.

Pinch holds – plates are just slightly too wide to be comfortable. Accumulated a fair few seconds but grip was toasted after 1 round.

Summary

Banging headache this morning, was hoping it would have gone by the time squats were out the way.
Only 1 fairly unsatisfactory lap on the circuit again.

#BLOC #Lifting

Squat 1 x 3 @ 140

Resting 3 minutes.
Top set felt solid but real heavy.
Back sets 2×4 @ 120 all ok.

Exercise Sets x Reps @ Weight

Keg Press – 9/6/7 @ 40
Barbell Row – 16/12/12 @ 50
Husafell – 1 @ 100 / 2 @ 60

What a wonderful thing to have someone do!
Switched out sandbags after set 1.
Will keep trying with the Husafell but might have to put it on the front end of a circuit.

Summary

Pretty good this morning.
All feeling pretty solid and stable.
