Stretches

Comments: Had a couple of days off, ate well, slept well and came back feeling pretty good. And this was a pretty good session too. The weights felt heavy to us both again at the start, but as the session wore on we both seemed to shake this off and there was plenty of zip.

The jerks felt pretty easy because of this, I was hitting my deepest OH Squats ever and with decent control. I laboured a bit on the DLs - missed my 2nd rep on 130 and then took it again for a single. But I bounced back straight after for some good shrugs and VERY explosive DB Pushes. I was trying to knockout the air with them haha.

The DL tells me what I already know - I need a week off. I'm happy to report that I've convinced Maurice of it to. Going to take the KBs over to Maurice next week for a bit of fun and a break from the barbell.

  1. You have put in a lot of quality work lately, so it's no wonder a week off is in order. Enjoy it, you've earned it.
