On Sunday, I wanted to do a one-arm one-leg plank. As it felt stable, I went down in the intention of finishing the plank at the bottom position. Once at the bottom, it was stable, so why not go up? And ditto on the other side.
About 7 weeks before the SFB weekend, and 3 weeks before specific preparation, it is a good feeling.
Monday 16th October
Morning mobility routine.
At the gym, with one student.
BB squat : 100 x 2, 3, 4, 3
"Knees out, knees out!". It is getting better and much more stable.
High tension technique also works pretty well to go and lift without warm-up. 100kg is 83% of my current tested 1TRM, and a lot less than my true 1RM.
Of course, I woke up one and a half hour earlier, had done my mobility routine, and I walked to the gym, so I did not put the weight on my back right after waking up!
Bench press: 60 x 5, 65 x 3, 60 x 4, 5, 6
Easy session. It allows me to really work on the details (chest up, shoulders in the bench, shoulders down, touch low on the chest, push with the heels). All good.
Back home:
KB press: 20 x 5, 24 x 5, 28 x 1, 24 x 3, 4, 5, 3, 4
As usual, I was a bit worried lifting the 28 (Monday morning), but again it went up easily. So did all the sets at 24.
Focus is on the clean.
