14th I had to drop. Pretty much got stuck in the bottom.
These felt strong they were moving fast and just found a grove. Been breathing behind the shield when it comes to bracing so I can get 3 reps before rebracing.

Two schools of thought on the failed rep.

1. Good on you for the grit to try for it.

2. Honestly you should try to not fail the lift, can be demotivating. As you get more into this you will learn to know when to call it. Shit if 13 was a big PR why not stop there and relish in the win

13 was a nice PR. I got 10 last time. I really thought I had the 14th when I went down. I'm still trying to learn to figure out where that line is. The 13th was a grind but there has been times where there was another grinder in the tank. Definitely want to try to fail less in training. I'm getting better at knowing where the line is.

No worries its all about learning yourself and your body. Typically for me if it was a grinder my mind does a quick sanity check and decides if there is another there. For me most times there is not

BW 355.8
Total Calories: 2310
229p, 187c, 69f


Bench 190 2x5, 1x8
Had an ahha moment on bench today. I was attacking the descent and pulling towards me instead of just letting if fall down. A little more practice stabilizing this and I can see some good stuff happening at the meet!

Barbell Row 155 2x5, 1x8

Deadlift 280x10!
Last amrap with 280 was 6. First pr in a reset! Super stoked! Had another Ahha moment with deads as well. I got truly tight before touching the Barbell. By the time I had both hands on it the slack was getting pulled out and my hams and glutes were engaged! I'm going to keep improving on this but it felt powerful!

Finished with 100 1 arm KB swings with 53 pounder and .75 miles with 4plates and a 35

Today's session was awesome! One of those sessions where everything lined up perfect and was feeling strong. Prs for every lift. Schedule issues happen and of course I want to optimize but as long as I put in the work these types of sessions will continue.

During the rest before the deadlift amrap this song came on.

Shit is PR fuel and I'm convinced they wrote this for lifters lol. It's like nose torque for my mind lol.

Good shit on AMRAP PR. The song for sure helped

Hell yeah man, great work in here. Congrats on the PR’s. 280 for 10 would exhaust the shit out of me. Deadlifts rock my world.

Bench 192.5 2x5, 1x7
Row 157.5 2x5, 1x8

Gross warning:





Last set of squats I only got five because during the 3rd rep because I fucking shit. I got to 5 packed up and showered. I'm really happy I was at home for this. I was feeling better this morning but felt worse throughout the day. I'm sure it will run it's course before next session.
