WEIGHT: 171.5
SORENESS: none
ACHES/INJURIES: none really
MENTAL STATE: fine, good
- warm up
- jump squat 45 x 3; 65 x 3,3
- squat 255 x 8,8,8,8
last set hard but solid. third set flew, very strong.
- OHP 115 x 5,4
still weak but not as horrifying as the other day
- pull up +25 x 5,5
- GHR ISO holds 10s x 4
- superset x 2
-- paused calf raise 415 x 10
-- tuck windshield wiper x 10
- stretch
posture/spinal alignment work continues throughout the day. two people at work today told me independently that i seemed taller. i don't think the posture thing gives me more than half an inch in actual height but hey, maybe it makes me look taller. who knows. one side benefit i think will be improved glute activation: if glutes are turned on at a low level whenever i'm standing up or walking around, it will be easier to engage them and maintain a neutral spine during exercise.
