Pulling
1x 355 seems to be as good as i can do today.
Went for 370 but it wasn’t gonna happen. 45lbs off of 400.
Good bar speed and lockout, slight softness in the lumbar but nothing that was awful. Perhaps not bad for taking MONTHS off from a serious lifting program, but 6 months ago i was pulling 355 and then some for 5. Note to self: Next time, don’t starve yourself and totally quit the gym.
Going through Power To The People and I’m liking the whole basis of the program. I’m not sure why its sinking in so well, but PTTP and Pavel’s commie explanations of cycles and such are doing a good job of getting into and bouncing around my head. I think I can design a halfway intelligent program that can give me both progress and longevity. SS:BBT works, yes, but at least for me takes a very large physical and mental toll after a few months of the program.
In the woods for a week, bringing 1.5 pood for some fun. My workouts may consist of not much more than swings, snatches, and carrying the thing around. I have a feeling that good things can happen when one carries around a heavy object for a while…no better time to try that out.
