Monday | The deadlifts felt good so I added another rep just to see if I could do it. And I did! New deadlift 1RM. The jerks felt pretty heavy so I didn’t go crazy. The barbell was plenty high enough, just gotta punch it.
Tuesday | Sore in my back from the DLs. Does this mean my glutes are getting stronger? The sled pulls with the strap across the chest are challenging. Sneaky trunk work. I used 95# for 2 rounds but dropped to 45# for the remainder. I struggled with locking out overhead with the KB and the sled. The rest of the work went well, though I felt pretty heavy. The heavy(er) breathing felt good.
And the rest… | Both Oly classes felt good this week. Nothing to report. Just keeping at it. Feeling like I’ve been governing things, in a self-limiting, not the-Republican-from-California, kind of way.
