rolling
hanging from the bar
Indian clubs 2 minutes
Band wrist extensions, 10 x 2 sets per hand
6lb sledgehammer hammer rotations, 10/10
6lb sledgehammer finger walks, 1/1, x 2
9:15am - Complete
Notes - All in all a great training session and I am headed back in the right direction. I used elbow sleeves from SBD that arrived this week for the first time, and they definitely helped me. Particularly allowed me to get under the bar a little better for the squat. I dropped the weight down to 440, triples felt fine, I am not sure about sets of 5 yet (elbow barks) but hoping I can do 405 for 5 x 5 on Monday. OHP was a PR for triples at 190 and was strong. DL was a breakthrough, this was a major PR for me and the bar moved really well. The squatting is fatiguing my low back by the time I try and do heavy DL on Fridays. I felt that a lot of fatigue had dissipated and this was the first time I can remember feeling fresh for a heavy DL attempt, and it showed. Super exciting. Finished with 5 singles at 310 on the bench, a PR, I am very close now to 3 plates, though I will say these were challenging.
