Decided to try something a little different today and quite liked it: use 5’s on the goblet squat ladder to get a good thorough warmup and then just did all doubles on the back squat. Felt quite good, really. We’ll see if I go back to 5’s or stick with this.

Had walked my kids about 2 hilly miles (both ways) to a playground in a double stroller this morning, so I was already quite sweaty and warmed up by the time I got back. Decided it was okay to forgo the warmup goblet squats and just go straight into my front squat doubles.

Wasn’t feeling that great and was a little rushed for time so I just called it here. I’m a little ticked at myself for not just pushing and doing my double at 325, but there’s always tomorrow.

So honestly…still not feeling great. The rep at 325 wasn’t exactly “hard” but it felt like it wasn’t really in the proper groove & my back felt a bit tender, so I just racked it. Have to live to fight another day on this one.

Going to try to gently bring back some pressing and see if my shoulders feel okay. Today was good. Will go up to the 53 in my next workout and see if that still holds.

Visiting my parents, so lifting with my dad’s assortment of kilo and pound plates, hence the odd numbers. Quick squat workout.

I like the opening trio here as a warmup so much that I think I should basically just do that every day. Gently easing my way back into pressing.
