Training On Lentils

[North Coast Miller]

Congrats! I barely can do BUP with 24kg, 32kg is out of question!

I might be able to rack a 32 BU, but would have to be outside so I don't put a hole in the floor when it gets away from me.

Catching a missed bu press is no problem - TGU must be worse I guess.

sandbag shouldering 2+2
sandbag row 3x8
sandbag shoulder carry 2+2
KB row 2x8 @ 40
KB curl 3x8 @ 16
Note: Just a small break from pressing

dbl press 2x5 @ 24s, 1x5 @ 32s, (1,2,3,4) @ 40s
1 x abc @ 40s
dfsq 4x2 @ 40s
bu press 5+5 @ 24
Note: I'll have to start slowly build up the volume for doubles so I am gonna peak
at 100 kg press. My idea is to take off with sets of 2 using 40s and back off sets
of 6-8 reps using 32s. Both for press and dfsq. Details I'll have to figure out.

Reading your log makes me want heavier KBs.

Gave it a try and was able to BU clean and rack the 32, after my last workout - will try pressing tomorrow.

There you go! And I thought this log can't be any useful!

Day outside with my son. Some sprints, some chimp-ups (no more than 3 reps per set) and ~100 Zercher squats with a small one.
Nicely spent time.

Great idea for the Zirchers - I'll definitely give it a go!

Rest day. I am quite happy to report that my self-imposed limit of 2 drinks/day
was broken only three times over the last one-n-half month. Hence, I lost about
2 kilos over that period of time.

18.6.2018
snatch 6x5 @ 32
press 6x5 @ 32, 4x4 @ 40

I think that you still do a lot of solid work Mirek! How do you like heavy snatches?

Thanks! I did not really do any heavy snatches, have to try snatching 40 kg again.

Just for fun, sandbag press

Its good that 32kg snatch is not heavy for you! I still treat them like heavy ones...

BTW great pressing!

Here's a press variation I do from time to time

Haha, 32 snatches are not terribly easy but neither they are very challenging - perfect training weight. I've tried 40 snatches a couple of minutes ago and they are ok with right hand but left hand grip is not that great.

So how was the BU press?!

I haven't gotten around to it .

I keep my 32kg on the hearth in the family room, and the ceiling is too low to BU press in there. I'll take it outside and give it a try today.
