Stretching
Comments: So just about every contest is getting moved or
cancelled. Trying to figure out what the next thing is, if that means a contest
or just more training. The good news I guess is that I can be considered
already qualified for USS Nats in 2021 if I sign up and I’ll be second to last
to go in the 308lbs weight class. Same location and probably the same weights
and events. Anyways, on to training. I have been having some symptoms on the
left side again and I’m not sure if it’s just from working the lower back and
hamstrings hard that the muscles are swelling and putting more pressure than
usual. Need to watch that and know when to fold’em. So seeing as how no
upcoming shows really have an axle, I figured I’d do log for the z presses this
time. Just warmed up with the kettlebells. Made sure I did a lot of reps here
as I didn’t want to try sitting clean the 40lbs dumbbells. Those bottom’s up
seated kettlebell presses felt pretty good. Log actually felt better I think as
I could get the height right and that I had the crash pads so not so jarring. Same
thing with the short rests. Just 5lbs more than last time. Only one rep that I
lost balance on so pretty good. Next up being floor press. Didn’t feel as great
as last time but I think I know why. The one thing was that adding wood to the
saw horses raised them up a bit so not as great of clearance here. Not able to
get the upper back as tucked. The other was when going for the top sets, I had
used the full-sized 45lbs plates and they were kissing the crash pads at the
bottom so I had to be a bit more controlled. The first set with 290lbs felt
fine. The second was garbage as I kept hitting the saw horses. Last set was ok
for the max rep set. Ended up air humping the last rep to get it. Would’ve
liked it clean. I know I can do better. Upper back super set after the
pressing. Same as last time. I don’t have any heavier matched pairs of
dumbbells for the swings and the raise just would be too much if I tried to
increase the weight much. It feels perfect where it is right now. No plans to increase
this in weight or reps. It feels good and is just added for the back work and
the shoulder health. I don’t think I felt as “paralyzed” after a set as I did
last week. Last thing being rack chins. Same as last time here too. I need to
become more proficient and master the bodyweight only version of these. Less
biceps issues on the right side. I’m getting better at these I think. Only
really felt like I was pushing it on the last set. I need to make sure my body
calms down or training may not be possible tomorrow. I have to be smart. As
smart as I can be lifting and running with stuff that is.
