Been here since 2009, I think. I didnā€™t realize that I started in May though.

Carries are a really big hole in my game.

I had to carry a pressure washer for some distance yesterday, and though it wasnā€™t particularly heavy, the activity lit up my butt and hamstrings. Since Iā€™m ostensibly training to keep strength and mobility into my 70ā€™s this is an unacceptable weakness.

Cycle 6 OHP Day
2023-05-29

OHP
95,115x5
135x3
155x3
165x2
175x1
Wanted to see where Iā€™m at
Mis-grooved the 175 so it was a fight.

Push Press
165 5x5 (PR sets +2)
Used wrist wraps to see if it makes a difference. It didnā€™t.
+
MAG Med Grip Pulldown
240 5x8 (PR reps@wt +2)

Seated Lever Press
160 3x8 (PR wt@reps +10)

Modified Pendlay Row
200 3x8 (PR wt@reps +2 reps)

Cable Triceps Pressdown
100 4x12 (PR reps@wt +4)
I use the cable crossover machine, so that was the whole stack, printed weight 200. Looks badass, but probably isnā€™t. That machine is easier on the elbows somehow, but I also think it isnā€™t really 100 lbs.

DB Laterals(rear+side)
25ā€™s 3x10

Good workout. 11 hours sleep does a guy wonders.

They do help me on heavier axle presses as I have small hands and wrists, but ainā€™t doing much for me on a power bar.

Iā€™m going for 500 next DL session. Wonā€™t be a PR though. I need to pull 520 for that.
