Comments: Another week of light weights. If anything, I’ve picked up more aches. Right knee thing. Ankles and right foot sometimes ache. Elbows, shoulders and right forearm. Just seems like going to be that way more and more. So as has been the case, log has popped up again. I honestly have no idea how this had felt so much better just months ago. Log felt like crap. Just not ass like last time. I felt a little off on the pressing. Cleans seemed to at least be going ok. I was expecting these to feel a lot better since axle felt good last week. Guess not. Maybe since I have to start heavier with my log compared to axle. 140lbs I hit my chin on the press and 160lbs I overrolled it on the clean had it not quite on the shoulders for the press. I think I even had the log too low on the start of the clean with 180lbs. I think I was initially anxious about my right knee being ok with the deep lap for log. 200lbs didn’t feel terrible but it should go up better. It is not even 65% of my all-time best. The weights are going up quick despite my leg drive not feeling like it is doing much. Then it was time to move it into the rack. Well I guess not right away as my nephew called me at this point to tell me about his first day of kindergarten. Somethings are just more important than others. So I cooled down a little bit before going into this. I didn’t think it would be that off putting. Felt close to last week with it feeling alien and awful and my knees aching and my body rejecting this exercise. Also wasn’t helpful having acorns falling down constantly while training. Just have to get used to it. It’s still not great but I felt I was feeling a bit better by the end. I realized my breathing was sucky after the first two sets as I was getting exertion headache and getting light headed. Holding my breath too long walking out. Last two sets seemed a bit better. Axle is a lot smoother on this stuff. Guess I’ll have to just press despite discomfort and hope for the best. Into the garage for the rest of the training for today. Dumbbell rows with the bench. Felt nice to just lay down haha. Same as last time but work up to 2 sets of 12-15 with the 70lbs dumbbells. I think I did a few more reps on the warm-ups compared to last time. Feels good though. Like, the opposite of the overhead pressing with the log. Slingshot dips to end the day. Wasn’t sure how this would be honestly as last two times my right shoulder was none too pleased with me. Plan this time was same as last but do more reps on the last set. Plate jumps. Had little traction effect on just the first set. I was feeling fairly good on these today. Some aches in the forearms due to my weight and the weight I was lifting. I mean, close to 300lbs. 15 reps certainly tougher than 10 reps haha. Right shoulder was ok with this. Cooled off, ate pot roast and then stretched. Too late for icing the joints, have to save that for tomorrow.
