Need to work out better way of doing Calves, tried standing on a couple of 20’s, was wobbling all over the place and not really feeling much at all!

Pretty good day of the deads for a guy who claims to have been slacking off the last many weeks.

I’m going to have to get some more plates soon! Pulled in my lifting shoes, which was weird, felt a bit off balance

But pulling in lifting shoes moves you valuable millimeters higher than the bar!

Inspired by a Dan John article, thought I’d try just one lift.
Started too light, was thinking I’d get about 10x10 with 40kg, sets 15 onwards were very unpleasant, hit failure on last 2 sets. Took about an hour.

Got some more plates, an Olympic Db handle and a spin bike yesterday.
Been looking at the various Landmine exercises you can do, of which there are many.
Really like the Landmine squat, feels very natural and stable, and more quads involved than my back squat. Going to make a corner protector so I don’t fuck my floor and skirting board up more than I already have!

I’ve never done Seated bb shoulder press before, absolutely love it! Feel much more shoulder involvement and fatigue rather than triceps when I do them standing. Also don’t hurt my lower back.

I found exactly the same thing. Try extended drop sets on them, I think you’ll be suprised how much you can feel it in your shoulders.

I’ve always found standing presses really awkward, painful on my lower back as I fatigue and lean back a bit, and never really feel them in my shoulders.
Seated feel completely different, get a really good burn and pump in my shoulders.
Will definitely try some drop or rest pause sets.

Had zero momentum for 7 weeks, so it’s about time!
