Events and stuff

This was my first week in the gym being able to do anything without my boot on. Otherwise I had done a little benching and some other things, but not a whole lot.

I did a nice paused single of 355 on the bench, which isn't anything to write home about, but I haven't been benching heavy at all so I was happy with that.

I squatted for the first time since before my injury on 10/21. It went fairly well. I used a safety bar for the first time and got up to a nice single at 385, and then got buried with 425 since my legs were already jello and I think I'm missing a little core and back stability from the lack of training. I went down to 245 and did a set of 10 and then a set of 15 reps.

Events 10/23

Axle clean and press

worked up to 250x10 - not hard, but I was sucking air pretty hard by the end.
270x3 - went up easy so I wanted to go heavier
300x1 - first went up pretty well, I tried a second rep but was gassed.

I can't complain at all about these since I tied a gym PR after taking 8 weeks off.

Double overhand Axle deadlift

worked up to 330, which I missed. I got 320 pretty easy though. I have a decent grip, but it's something I would like to put some emphasis on.

18" deadlift

worked up to 600x1

I absolutely hate pulling from this position. It seems like it is right at the point where I should be transitioning from pulling power from the floor and lockout strength, and the start feels terrible. Something to work on I guess.

Stones

There are definitely some mental blocks I need to get over on stones. I also have lost a lot of flexibility in my ankle and could tell it was affecting me a lot on these.

250x1
330x1
360x3
I lapped the 360 again, but my legs were just dead from squatting still on Friday and everything else.

I pushed the prowler a couple times and that was pretty much it.
