Stretching
Comments: Workout for this week was pushed out a bit to accommodate
things I had planned. Those ended up being adjusted as I could’ve done my
workout on my usual day but with how my shoulder was feeling and I didn’t have
anything prepared it made sense to wait another day. Hot and muggy. Got up to
95 and then it was raining. Not sure how that works haha. I had a certain
nervous energy today. Work was very busy and stressful. The nervous energy was
something where I felt like there might be a small tremor from an earthquake
under the ground. On the drive to the gym, I had put my hazard lights on
because I thought a tree had fallen on powerlines causing a delay but that’s
just how that tree has always been. I know when I have this kind of nervous
energy I will either have a great workout or a terrible one. No in-between. AMT
to start off the session. 155bpm highest reading. A bit higher than I would’ve
liked. The upstairs is not as well ventilated as the downstairs and it was
really muggy there. I went back downstairs to do my movement and stretching
regiment, otherwise I was going to be sweating to death for no reason. Log for
today was singles on the clean and strict press. No set jumps this time. I had
a goal in mind of 270lbs so best option was 30lbs jumps from the empty log.
This would set me up to hit an all-time best clean and strict press on log. The
two risers I was using were gone so I ended up using the bumper plates. I was
feeling good on these. I did a set with 5lbs dumbbells for ten just to get the
shoulders used to the movement. Don’t need a lot of weight as seen with using
the PVC for the axle. Just need reps in the movement to keep the shoulder
happy. 240lbs didn’t feel as powerful as I’d want to insure that 270lbs was
going up but I watched the video and it just got out in front a little but was
strong. Figured that chalking up my shirt (I’d brought a shirt with a decal to
combat the sweat factor). That did the trick. My right knee shifted a little on
me lapping the log. I felt some hesitation. Bullet time feel but it went up
after a slight pause as my triceps and shoulders took over from my chest and it
went up with authority. Definitely more there. Pleased that it is progressing.
Need strong shoulder for fighting with the heavies and super heavies. Hopefully
this translates over to my log push pressing. Took a bit for my body to calm
down from that excitement and it was on to the reps of back and chest. Pulldowns
up next. Same weight and sets as last time but aiming for more reps with
250lbs. I was feeling a little fatigued as I was working up. I think I was
taking less rest really until I got to the top set. I felt good after 220lbs
for a good showing. First rep with 250lbs was really easy but I felt like the
seat was too high and I was paranoid and adjusted it one as I thought someone
had changed it while I wasn’t looking. Stupid as the setting I had it one was
the same for all the sets and the right one. I was just being pulled up by the
weight. Even with that mess up, I recovered and got a lot of reps. Pec flyes
after that and upstairs. Not as muggy now that a fair number of people had left
and temperature outside had dropped by at least 10 degrees. Right biceps was
acting up a little so cautious on these today. I figured start lighter and do
an extra set to work up to the top weight to make sure. Good thing as the
really light set I felt my right biceps having to adjust to it. Once that was
done, it was fairly smooth sailing from there. Only 5lbs more on the top set
but I still did well on the reps. This was my limit, much like last time. So
good workout and got burritos for dinner. Stretched and iced my knees as my
right knee was a little stiff from the log.
