Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

[-G$-]

Nice Friday morning sesh:

5x5 @ 80% of 5RM close grip bench (hands inside knurling) @ 205#

Followed by:

20 min EMOM
Even: 10 TTB
Odd: 3 squat cleans @ 205#



Getting better at TTB but still terrible if that makes any sense at all.

yea, i tried various yoga studios and overall it's not my thing, between the price, the vibe/type of people who go there, and the fact I was paying $20-30 a class and hardly ever got form corrections/attention from the instructor, i stopped. i would have been just as well off taking classes at the gym.

i've been happy doing free yoga on youtube . i guess it depends on the type of yoga you're trying to do and what you want to get from it (stretching/flexibility, meditation, become a student of the practice, etc). i really just needed deep stretching, and the form i was steered toward, yin, is long simple poses, you don't need in-person instruction. i have the music i want, candles or incense i want, and i can do it before going to bed. IMO, the average person who just wants to stretch/gain flexibility, and maybe relax, can find plenty of good, free videos online.

Snatch complexes were pretty pretty pretty good this morning.


10 rounds (90 sec rest)
High hang squat snatch
+
Hang squat snatch (3 second pause at knee)
+
Squat snatch from floor



I worked up to 175# for sets 8, 9 and 10. The movements felt great but my grip was shot on the resets between the movements (ie- catching in hang at knee after completing high hang). I really need to work on that aspect. But I did not miss any of the 10 from the floor which is great progress for me.


Finished off w snatch grip deads and nailed a few @ 375#. Was feeling good about myself til I remembered that some guys drop into a high hang squat snatch directly from the deadlift w weight like that

We might need an official stretching thread.

Your boy been feeling kinda tight lately. I need a good 10 min routine I can do daily to keep me loose during the day.

Woke up tired at 1am. Went to sleep again and woke up at 3. Decided I was going to work out anyway but I was falling asleep on the bus and shyt the whole way there. Ended up just doing the begineer/kids class and dipping out.

Imma take a nap and do the other stuff that I can at home.

Got a new 3RM on bench....

fukked around and got a new PR on DL...miscounted what I put on. Face-pulls have been helping me with the locking out process. That's usually where I have problems when I lock-out.

When those glycogen stores are depleted........no pre-workout can save you from deep water.
