dig up a few half-dead shrubs, cut them into pieces, dig a hole big enough to bury the big pieces, all that with no power tools

So, there you go. The most repetitive, dull training log on this site gets something unusual showing up. Good thing I planned to do deadlifts before lunch, then deal with those shrubs, and then pullups later - trying to do deads after all that would not have been a good idea, and weighted pullups a few hours later happen to nicely deload the spine after a hard day.

It’s Good Friday, so I had some eggs for breakfast, ate nothing all day, did the deads after work and managed to prove to myself that not eating didn’t seem to make me any weaker, even getting in a couple of extra reps on the last set. Then ate about two pounds of Atlantic wolffish steak and some salad, waited an hour, and did the cleans and curls once I wasn’t too full.
Also this is probably the third time in my life that weird persistent pain in the bottom of my foot that’s been not serious but annoying for a few days vanished completely after doing a few sets of deads. Maybe the pressure realigns things or something.

Also going to do a bit of digging in the garden later and plant some spinach.
One funny thing about the Zerchers: doing them just deep enough for the bar to touch the thigh tends to make the bar drift up and forward on my forearms, which is kinda painful, but doing them ATG and resting the weight of the bar on the thighs for a moment keeps the bar in place. But of course more range is harder on the quads. Pick your poison, I guess.

So six front squat singles a minute apart, then a big drop set. Not huge volume, but still enough density to turn my legs visibly pale below the knees, as all the blood goes to the quads.

Presses are ugly with lousy form, but I’m getting very close to being able to pick up my own weight off the floor, put it above my head, and hold it there under control.

Doing a set of deads every minute - haven’t done that in a while, so I went very light, and that left enough energy to crank out two extra reps on the last set.

Trying these seated presses to get better at pressing with good form, and stabilizing weights overhead. By the 15th rep my delts felt fried, and my feet started lifting off the floor, which I was’t expecting.

Could go up in weight on the Zerchers a bit. It’s a good lift for higher-rep sets, though, I think,
