Failed the press on the 5th round. Split-jerks were mediocre. * Abzz: Saxon bends @25kg, hanging leg raises, windmills @20kg KB, GHD situps | ||

It's certainly a bit better than it used to be. The pressing, not so much.  No crossfit hotties in the background this time, just me all red-faced and a bunch of dudes. | ||

(no legs) x3 | ||

What is this world coming to? Today: Farmer's up to 115kg x12m, x3 Beltless squat unrack+hold, 250kg x20s, 30s, 30s, 30s. Felt rather unsquattable, to say the least. | ||

My knees definitely bounce forward at the bottom. Depth was sufficient throughout but felt "high". *Front squat (paused) 100x3 every minute on the minute x5 The pauses were on the short side, so I made sure the last one on the last set was nice and long. Still no chance of fitting in a limerick, even while wearing a vest.  *Abs | ||

Just showing the boys at the gym how it's done. Only 0.1s off my PB.Press ... 57.5x5 65x3 72.5x5 The last rep was too much of a grind for my liking, not counting it as part of my progress. Push-press 72.5 3x6-8 Inverted ring pull-ups 3x6-8 | ||

They pulled some nice sub-16s times themselves, but they'll do better if they smoothen out their stroke (and avoid falling off the seat half the time). According to the monitor I averaged 59spm, so a grand total of 14 strokes. By the way, a tip of the hat for your recent gainz on all manners of distances. Will you be carrying on until next season and do a few races? | ||

Sounds good! Yeah, the weight classes don't suit everyone. There's talk of adding a "middleweight" category but I don't see it happening. | ||
