Thanks bud. Just throwing in a heavyish single after the DO work so I don’t lose my groove or feel of what weight feels like.

Danke. Felt good for fasting at least. When I’m in the ballpark I’d like to get a 505 Single in sleeves with the SSB.

Well I got gimped. First workset with the SSB I was thinking in my head “12’s are going to be easy tonight” and something went in my low back as I locked out the 7th rep. It freaking hurts to stand but I know I need to keep moving so I don’t seize up bad so I did some goblet squats, left out the Dinnie lifts and rows. 

SSB Squat wu to 137k x 7 - ping

KB Goblet Squat 124# x 3 x 8r

Grippers 
Left SM 122 x 3 x 2r
Right SM 122 x 2, 2.5 125 x 2, 130 x 2

2-3/8” Napalms Nightmare Lifts -1st time

258 x 3, 283 x 1, 293 x slip at top, 283 x 1, 1

 

Enough. Back is definitely sapping some will. Need 800 mg of ibuprofen.

I know all about the 800 mg, unfortunately. 

Just an opportunity to come back stronger!

Evening

Hips and low back are too tight to let my feet touch the floor for benching but I’m feeling better, not good, but better. Did some squats with just the bar to limber up. First time trying this thumb blaster too. I like it. 

Left hand didn’t seem to “turn on” until the 3rd workset. To paraphrase the Mighty Apeman ”you know your getting older when you can regard your 3rd workset as part of your warm-ups”. 

SSB Squat 20k x 5 x 5r
Various Grip Chins w/Band 5 x 5r

Bench Press wu to 124k x 4 x 5r - feet up, flat backed. Feel it in the rotators a lot more. 

JM Press 92.5k x 3 x 6r

OH Band Extensions x 110r

2” Thumb Blaster Lifts wu to
Left 70 x 4/4/5/5/5
Right 70 x 5, 75 x 5/5/5/5

Back is still a bit niggled so I’m keeping the floor pulls out. I think I’m going to run Shaf ladders 2-3x a week with the NN. Thick bar is by far my biggest weakness so I’ll be extra diligent in training that aspect. 

2-3/8” NN Lifts wu to 258 x 1/2/3/1/2/3/1 - not crisp enough so I stopped

Tsyplenkov Wrist Curl 

25/50/50/50 x 10r

Behind Back TPB BB Holds

120k x 10s

140k x 13s/8s - way tougher behind the back

Rice Digs 2 x 30s
