16 july 2020

Nice day. Started late. Had 70 beans of coffe over 3 small cups.

Stiff legged deadlift

200 - one long set, first I pulled overhand just over my knees, then "hook" grip below the knees, put on straps and did 6 reps somewhat consecultively + 2 with mixed grip. I thought the homonymous song by Manowar was shorter.

Wanted to do romanian deadlifts with 210, but instead automatically just lowered it to the floor from the racks, funny.

Paused deadlift - 2 pauses below the knee, on the way up and down

150 - 5 reps

Muscle high pulls from the floor - something between bent over rows and shrugs, made sure to touch my belly every time, to kind of simulate a continental clean

100*14 long set though

Powercleaned 100 on a third attempt (cause I was holding it with my fingertips first two times) and put it on the rack

Accumulation squat - 100 - 2 sets of 10

Power flies with a pinch grip

2 plates of 20 kgs - 8 reps, then 16 reps - feels like kind of a pr. Good effort. Plus stiff legged DLs is something that I've never done with 200 like that, so that's kind of a tiny pr as well. Feels great. You'd think that it's weak to search for PRs like that, but it's actually worth it, just to convince yourself that you're moving forward. That feels absolutely great. And I'm trying to be at least a bit impartial to myself (haha).

Thinking of doing some grippers. One day I might end up training every day.

Some narrow grip pullups - 2 sets of 14, felt pretty hard after all the barbell work.

Did some gripper work - cheat closed CoC3 right, CoC2.5*4 parallel right, tried to follow with left, but it was either singles or cheat holds.
