9 /10 Jan 2014 -Finding the groove forward

9 Jan 
0535 hrs
So first things first. I made some minor adjustments and got my self organized so i am getting to the gym again when it opens. Ignore social media, prep everything and stay focused so that i get out on time.

Banded Hip Series 1 x 17 x Black EFS Band
Banded Shoulder Series 1 x 13 x Red EFS Band

Deadlift
2 x 5 x 135
1 x 5 x 175
1 x 3 x 205
1 x 3 x 235
1 x 3 x 265
1 x 5 x 305

Joker
1 x 3 x 340
1 x 3 x 365
First /Last
4 x 5 x 225

Things felt solid enough and the bar was moving decently well. I could tell my technique was off but was able to make corrections /resets in between reps. The 365 was ugly but felt light. I pushed the Joker sets for two reasons. The first to figure out what the primary weakness is. In other words what needs more work. Secondly because in order to get strong(er) you have to lift heavy shit once in a while. Things are getting back to normal so it is time to actually push things.

Head Harness 4 x 17 x 44 lbs
TKE's 2 x 23 x Orange EFS Band
Hanging Leg Raises  3 x 5

So all throughout the session my hip is mildly in discomfort. Nothing major but it forces me to focus and make sure i don't make things worse. After the last set of Hanging legs raises i grab my book and collect my band. Then walking the 30 ft to my bag something magically slid into place and all hip discomfort is gone. like 100% gone. It came back a little a few hrs later, mostly because i do sit a great deal during the day. But the fact it can disappear brings my hope it will be gone sooner than later. As well it means nothing is seriously wrong. I will admit a little annoying that things like this seem to happen AFTER all the lifting is finished.

Up bright and early again.

Banded Hip Series 1 x 13 x Black EFS Band
Banded Shoulder Series 1 x 11 x Red EFS Band

OH Press
2 x 11 x Bar
1 x 5 x 55
1 x 5 x 70
1 x 3 x 80
1 x 3 x 95
1 x 3 x 110
1 x 9 x 120 (Belt ON)
Joker Sets
1 x 3 x 135
1 x 2 x 150
First /Last
3 x 7 x 95
Very happy with this went. I only used my belt on the set with 120 lbs for reps. Everything else was belt less.

Banded Incline Push Ups 3 x 7 x Orange EFS Band (bottom of Rack)
Leg Raises 2 x 7
Working some lockout power in my triceps. Not too much as tomorrow is high volume push ups.
*Prowler  8 x 40 yards x 90 lbs

There is an asterisk beside the Prowler because i had to use the imitation version which i am pretty sure is a little bit lighter and slides differently. Same effect but not the same equipment so i have to note it.
Keep Moving Forward, Keep Getting Strong(er)
