2016-05-09 Dead and Press

Considering switching to the plan I had last spring to keep workouts shorter and facilitate rehab. Presumably it'll have to vary by project.

Diesel - 5s
Bridge - No band

Deadlift -
135x5
160x5
185x5x3 (30 second hold)
Straight up speed pulls. Not doing the bat wings may have screwed up lat activation, though. Overhead squats probably also valuable for enabling thoracic extension - seemed like I was feeling the restriction there.

Press -
45x5
65x5
90x5x3
Getting more tired here - final set was pretty bad.

Lat Pulldown -
70x8x5
Key appears to be resisting bending elbows until the last minute - good emphasis on the lats. 80 next time.

Turkish Get-Up -
25x3*x3
30 second rests this time (probably worth keeping).
Feeling better; 30 next time. That said, technical changes probably appropriate for hinging up. Core bracing right before makes a difference.

All right only:
Couch Stretch (really focusing on getting deep) - 2m first, 1m second
Kneeling groin stretch
ER on a box - 45/30/45
Hamstring - low box, ~2m

Just working on freeing up that right hip. Need to roll out both sides. May be worth trying some band traction. Could also be something in ankles/calves.
