Block Pull 1×1 @ 160

Warmups all good. Rested 2 minutes.

Top set felt ok.
Felt more in the back than the legs.
Not sure if that’s correct.
Probably going to B&Q later this week so will pick up some scrap wood to raise the blocks easier.

Squat 10×2 @ 105

Warmups all good. Rested 90 seconds.

No issues here.

Power Cleans 5×3 @ 40

Rested 2 minutes between sets.

Really not sure what’s going on with this!
Set 1 didn’t record for some reason.
Pretty sure elbows aren’t high enough but the plates are in the way so I’ll get an alternate angle next time.
Set 4 Rep 1 was well off!

Summary

All good this morning.
Power Cleans are going to take some getting used to.

A few slower reps at the tail end.

Push Up/Tyre Flip 2×10 EMOM @ BW/100

Interesting one here.

Still working out good grip on the tyre. One side is easier than the other but I guess that’s the point.
Good run overall.

Deadlift 1×1 @ RPE 9 (171)

Warmups feeling good. Didn’t time rest periods between singles working up.

Loaded up 170 then saw on my board that was my previous 1RM so added an extra kilo!

Completely forgot all the back off sets!

Warmups all good. Rested 90 secs.

All good here.
Feeling nice and solid.

Chins 10×1 EMOM @ BW

No problems.

Summary

All good this morning despite looking tired!
Maybe I was tired as I completely forgot to do any back sets during the deadlifts.
Everything else moving fine.
