Felt good to do a few cleans again. Added weight to bench, and kept the volume to two triples. Will see how that goes for a while.

The top squat set was something else. I'm not sure how much I have left in me!

I wasn't sure rep 5 of the deadlift was going to lock out at the top, but I got it there. The next one is going to be a doozy! I had some major soreness in my shoulders, and pin press made that even more sore!

Dropped squats to 3x3, seeing how that runs for a while. 360 still felt heavy. That shoulder pain is still hanging on, and I don't know what I've done to it. It's affecting my ability to press and bench, though. Hoping some rest helps.

Oi, got to catch up again. A lot has been happening...

Strength Training

Cleans: 95x3, 135x3, 150x3, 165x3, 165x3, 155x3.

Deadlifts: 235x3, 300x1, 335x5, 335x5.

165 was a bit much on the cleans, and it just wasn't smooth, so backed off the last set. Cleans are a great warmup into deadlifts.

6/17/2022

Strength Training

Squats: 45x5x2, 185x5, 225x3, 315x5, 325x5, 335x5.

Deadlifts: 225x3, 280x3, 360x1, 400x5.

I'm switching squats to a lighter volume day and a lower volume higher intensity day. Hit a new PR on the deadlift, and my first 400# lift ever! Pretty excited about that. I had work obligations the day before, so wasn't able to lift then.

On a downer note, some serious pain developed in my shoulders, and I wasn't able to press.

The 405 deadlift did not go well. Scheduled for a set of 5, and I did 400 for 5 previously. After the first rep, I could break the bar off the ground, but that was as far as it got.

Deadlifts: 135x5, 205x5, 285x3, 365x1, 405x4.

Press: 95x5, 95x5, 95x5.

So, good news/bad news on the deadlift. Only pulled 4. Rep didn't break from the floor, and reps 3 and 4 were pretty ugly, with the bar floating away from my shins (probably need more lat work). The good news....405 for 4 is still a PR :).

Getting back to pressing. Still some shoulder pain. Going to try to work through it.

To go along with everything else, I'm switching over to night shift, and trying to sleep during the day. Sleep has not been great, so recovery during this two-month period might cause me some issues.

MA Training

TKD Class: 6:30 - 7:30 pm. Attempted to participate in class today. I wasn't feeling the greatest, and Crohn's was really hitting hard; lots of cramping and all the issues that come from that. I spent the first portion of class speaking with a young gal that it sounds like is going to be a student of ours when the next semester rolls in. She's a Kukki TKD student, so we talked a little shop back and forth about class, teaching, approaches, etc. We had a good conversation, and I think she'll enjoy it here with us. She's a third dan already, which is really great, too. She understands that she'll have to start over, and seems all good with that, too. I went in for the last half of class, and helped with some forms and technical work.

7/18/2022

I was supposed to be at our second Aikido/TKD combined class, but I had a really bad Meniere's flare up, and ended up being in bed all day. Really upsetting. It got so bad that I had to come home the night before from work. I think it must be from my body trying to adjust to night shift.
