Wanted to do High bar squats, but the single squat rack was busy. My squatting gym was closed to day so I did leg press. Squat next session I guess.

I find myself greatly looking forward to doing axle continental clean and press tomorrow. Itā€™s actually distracting me, visualizing how to better to perform the movement.

I donā€™t even compete in anything.

Gonna have to forego axle and sandbag work since I have to stay late at work and the gym with those things will be closed by the time I get there.

Ah, well.

Iā€™ve stopped cheating my pullups. Iā€™m letting the shoulder go to full extension before pulling again.
I donā€™t know that this program has enough volume in it, but my hips sure are thankful thatā€™s itā€™s not more.

Deadlifts tonight. I was feeling run down last time I did DLs so I did only one set, but I think Iā€™ll do the 3x3 tonight.

Still havenā€™t used the viking press attachment even once since I bought itā€¦

Itā€™s a crap bar. Handles are too skinny and the knurling is for show. Weights listed are the plates only, dunno what the bar weighs.

Side and rear delt raises
20 3x12

Everything moved easily. These all really felt like training weights. Iā€™m gonna strap up on the farmers next time. Iā€™m more interested in the walking with weights than trying to hang on to them.

Thanks, Cyrrex. Iā€™m just hoping I can hold it together long enough to get back to my old top weights.

Leg Press

This Body Master leg press has a heavier sled than at my favorite gym so the weight is more than last time though plate weight is slightly less.

Tire flips
2x6
1x10
Teeny not-even-a-real tire. Itā€™s bad because you canā€™t set your shoudlers against it and actually have to lift with the biceps a little. Someoneā€™s gonna tear somethingā€¦

Pullups

BW 2x6

EZ Bar curls
105 3x5

And that was enough.

County closed my gym and all places where 50 people can congregate, so I couldnā€™t do the scheduled training. My local gym has the sandbags and SSB, which were what I was going to use today.

SO I went one county over to a gym and did this:
CYCLE 4 Day 3

Clean and Push Press
165 3x3
185x1

Zercher Squat
255 3x3

Seated Cable neutral-grip row
160 3x12

95 2x6, 1x8

Hang cleans
135 3x5

Misc rear shoulder stuff

Push presses were way easy. Iā€™m getting the bar back over midline on the way up really well.
