We are supposed to do regular good mornings which I hate and only feel in my back. I saw the Chinese doing then on atg so I tried them seated. Why do you think they would be bad for your back?

I really should just man up and do rdls

Squeeze your abs a lot harder on all that stuff, and on DLs, squats, etc, basically every lift or movement you do. Squeeze them like your life depends on it.

Press 140+f, 135x2x3 paused
Pp 185x3x3
Standing db press 50sx8,8,5
Laterals 20x7+15x3,x10x3 ss w
Back ext+75x10x3 ss w
Leg raises

Im thinking maybe I should pause my press at the bottom. My 1rm is legit equal to like my 4rm...

Push press was pretty easy. Somehow made some sick gains on these going from 195 1rm to this. Widening my stance to my squatting width may have been a big factor. Feeling swole

Yes! It is possible to hit 2 weight and a volume pr and still be completely disappointed in yourself. Back squats have completely tanked for 4 weeks in a row **** me

Dl 335x3,2+1
Rack pull 340x5,4, 335x5
Lots of clean pulls @185 and 205
Bb rows
Pullups

Dl was ok. I could've gotten the 3rd rep on set 2 but back felt compromised so I backed off and did another single a bit later. Working on staying over the bar a little longer and hitting higher on the thigh w clean pulls. Trying to get the pull a little straighter after the hip contact also

Push press 205,215fff
Bb stuff

Not exactly the performance I know I could've given on a better day. Whatever.

Testing 1rms is gay anyway, I know how strong I am whether I hit the weight on a given day or not. Having said that I'm probably going for a max dl friday

Bs 320xfx2
Fs 275 +13 pr
Lots of snatches up to 155x2
Lots of ohs

I didn't think I would pr my back squat so I'm disappointed but not acutely. Fs I'm happy enough with the number but form was legit herniation level so I didn't go up.

Happy to get back to wl now. Funny my biggest difficulty with the snatches today was overhead stability so I did some ohs which were actually hard lol.

Jerks 176x2x5, 186x2x2
Random cleans and pulls from different positions
Press 115x5x2, 95x9 shoulders/back were hella tired already
Ab wheel 15,12,8 or so

Just getting the feel for things again. I concentrated on staying over the bar and jumping backward on my cleans. Im not really sure if th second thing is even good but i always jump a bit forward so getting the feel for jumping back might help me split the difference.

Here is the video i took today, nothing impressive but I haven't posted any in a while.

Anyone have anything to say about the jump back compared to before?

Cleans look good. Only like one rep I saw where you had pronounced hop back. One minute critique: doesn't look like you're completing your pull and fully extending your hips. Cleans look pretty good to me otherwise.

Snatch 60x3,3 65x3, 70x3, 75x1+f
Snatch pulls 90x5x3
superset 60 kg rdls and snatch high pulls from the hip

Was ok. Last triple I think i could have made but I wasn't confident/felt tired. Shockingly I didnt make it. k. Honestly 70 might even be a pr triple cause i dont do them that much.

As I type it out this looks like way less work than I did. Lots of warmup sets and feeling out positions and pulls but not logworthy numbers

Squat 195x20,200x18
Random ohs and snatch balances
Back ext+55x15,15,10

Failed on the 18 or 19th rep I lost count. Legit didn't recover fully for the rest of the workout. Feel pretty good about it, 10lb pr 20 repper and 205+ was almost certainly there if I had done it first

Since last Tuesday I have been doing my own ****. I'll only be able to train tomorrow and Wednesday this week then will start on a new program next Monday.

20 reppers are pretty sweet imo. I like high rep squats a lot in general

Jerk triples alternating in front and btn 135x2, 155x2, 185x2, 195, 205btn, 205x1rep felt off so I said f it and didn't continue, 185x2 btn
Bench 175x5,4, 155x8
DB shoulder press
Ab wheel
2 prowlers

195x3 front and 205x3 btn might be prs, I'll have to check. I'm not used to facking lowering this **** anymore . Rack jerk triples are honestly pretty high volume in terms of time under tension. I underestimated how tired I would be after them even though I knew it was a lot of sets.

After looking back the jerks are both prs, and they were easy. It's partially bc I've rarely done triples but ill take it

Hang snatch triples 95, 115, 135, 145, 155x2+f
Hi hang 135x2,3,3
**** ton of clean, hang clean and block cleans w/ 135-185
Single leg rdl 20sx8x3
1 legless rope climb to prove I wasn't a fat n00b, not that hard

Almost hit the 155, lowering them f ed me. I suck at cleans, trying to unsuck. Mainly trouble with straight bar path and maintaining a good solid core after receiving the bar.

Snatch 115,125,135,140x2x3, 150x2x5
Snatch pull 205x3x3
Squat 265x2 lol 235x5,5,6

Snatches improved as the session progressed. I did a better job on maintaining back angle rather than letting my ass shoot up. Need to work on straighter pull. Speed was poor but that will come with more reps.

Squat was supposed to be 85% 5,5,amrap. Seemed impossible to me and after 2 reps of 265 it def was. My back squat is not exactly inspiring lately.

Jerk 135x2,155x2,165x2 175x3x2, 185x2x3
Pp 165x5x4,4
Snatch balance doubles

Left shoulder was felt unstable on the snatch balances so I cut them short. Jerks were pretty easy but not super precise, pp I was just sloppy.

Clean 135x3,155x3,165x3, 175x2x3, 185x2x5
Clean pull 255x3x5
Fs 185x5,5,6

Damn. One of the hardest workouts I've had since 5x10 squat. Last 2 sets of cleans the first rep was markedly better. I basically just didn't think about the pull and tried to brace like fack. Pull was feeling better so i kinda could. Vids incoming

Only things of note from last 2 sessions:
Cleaned 215 with almost no loss of rigidity
Push press today 145x10, 155x8, 165x6, 175x4, 185x3

Rest was complete **** and I'd be embarrassed to post. Down to 184, lol cutting
