Tried something different today. Instead of strictly vertical/horizontal pushing+pulling, i started with vertical and moved down to horizontal, then topped it off with accessory work for chest. Might do it the other way for my next upper body sesh, i.e. start from horizontal and move up to vertical pushing+Pulling.



29/6
Muscle Snatch

First time trying these. Holy shit they made me perspire like mad. Not that i didn't previously, but this made me appreciate the beast that is klokov all the more. Go check out his channel, he muscles 110 overhead for 2 reps with SUCH EASE. ridiculous.

Leg raise

Good day today. Funny how there are two platforms in my gym, and today about 7 people were using the other one, taking turns to squat and deadlift. If they asked me i wouldn't have minded sharing haha. Most probably taking a break tomorrow. Don't want to burn out anything, also want to bench in a rested and fresh state.
