Today’s training. Medium Volume.
Press: 110# x 4 x 3
4-mat Deficit Deadlift: 255# x 4 x 3
Then some practice with “barbell jumps” and working on front rack mobility.
(not done yet, but will do later)
H2H Kettlebell Swings: 50# x 16
Straight-leg situps: 41# x 8
Notes:
-
Press, again, moved slow. Fastest rep was 80% 1RM. This is an improvement over Monday’s 82%. I’ll take the velocity PR.
-
Deficit deads were from 4 mats, which is around 3", which matches Sheiko’s 7-10 cm definition.
-
Bar path was a bit wonky with the deficit deads. Never done them from that height. Hips/low-back sore from it too.

I’m trying to learn how to properly Power Clean a barbell. CT is graciously helping me. The barbell jumps and front rack work are for that. The eventual goal is to hopefully transfer some of this strength and skill into an axle, for the clean and press. And even if that doesn’t work, power cleans are good to be good at.
Tomorrow: High volume. Press 3x3. Front squat 4x3. Top partial presses 3x3.
Per CT’s instruction, I will hold off power cleans (while I work other stuff). Front squats will replace them for now.
