September 21st - Nice day, lightened OHP

 21.09.2023

Nice day. Did not feel like falling asleep earlier yesterday, felt strangely uncomfortable, but it was okay. So, I slept somewhat mediocre today, and nutrition has been subpar as well. But because the last two days were so nice I feel quite alright at the moment.

Not sure exactly what I'll be doing today. I'm thinking of cleans and some presses, maybe easier presses. Perhaps I'll do 103 for 4 sets of 2 - with decent power, all the extra left. And only light cleans, up to 90 perhaps. Yeah, that makes sense.

Workout

Warmup - L-flys for 2 sets, some pressing with front rack and overhead holds - 2 sets, not overdoing it. Some squat stretches and lower body moves - also trying not to overdo it like I did on Monday.

Clean and press

50 - 5 cleans first, then 5 presses

70 - same

Overhead press (from racks)

103 - 5 sets of 2

It's all very easy as I chose to use my sub-minimax and calculate off mere 120. All reps were very strict, powerful and fast - very satisfying, and I have a lot of energy left to boost my recovery as well as tomorrow's efforts.

Drank a lot of pickle brine... Very hydrating, but stomach doesn't react quite perfectly 😆

I'm very happy with my front rack. Once again, I cannot believe I can put it on my chest and into my neck right on my clavicles, like in the old times. I wonder if snatchy-style stick twists (olympic stretches) helped, the ones I did on Tuesday.

Overhead press, two implements - bottom-up 16 kg kettlebell and a set of dumbbells 16 kg in summary weight

4 sets of 10, switching sides every set. A lot more difficult that just one arm BUP press! In the end, however, it became easier when I caught the groove.

Some more PVC pipe olympic stretches.
