1×155 – off a heave
1×185 – off a heave
3×205 – off a no foot movement power clean
The one arm deadlift primes the body for everything from the overhead squat during the play period to the clean & press during the session.
The three movements – one arm deadlift, power snatch, and overhead squat was a great giant set – I may have to specify the latter two were two handed as I have one arm scratched 135lbs on a few occasions.
proof
The overhead squat as well as the one arm deadlift are both one stop shops for being one piece, strong, and well held together.

A dozen oreos, a little over a quart milk – the preworkout, I felt like having something in me.
The lift, then spending time outside enjoying the fresh air with the lift over, then dinner planned – a couple corn dogs and leftover kielbasa (in hot dog buns with relish and cheese) to tide my appetite as I cook a lb lump of steak, plenty of milk, plenty of fruit juice to drink.
I didn’t plan out baked potatoes to go with it – shrugs.
The lift making life right.
I really liked using the three movements during the play period before getting into the session.
…..
My lifting is pull focused at this point.
All the pulling from the floor carries the legs and shoulders along with it.
You can do mostly lots of pulling, whether one variation or a million variations, and be set.
Today’s lift was a little more freestyle than it had been.

It feels so good to be outside in the fresh, cold, air.
In fact, I prefer the winter outside to the winter inside.
Part of this is being heavy, part of this is being outside for hours, part is not caring that it’s cold – ignoring it.
As long as I’m still line cooking this winter the contrast of the weather outdoors is very enjoyable.

I’m a little peeved not being able to purchase a titan kettlebell as rogue is much more expensive.
However, I still would like to have a concept2 rower.
It’s funny, I’m partly thinking aquire equipment in line with having an actual gym.
Sticking to no new equipment, no gym membership as I’d written yesterday, well – a concept2 rower and good sized kettlebell would be cardio I’d actually do, and home based without logistical issue.
As is I was thinking of buying a sturdy 18″ step stool, $20-30 or so – for home based cardio.
Step ups are great.
I’ve never done them consistently enough.
Interestingly enough, holding my foot next to a yard stick it looks that around 18″ high is where my foot is with my thigh parallel to the floor.
An 18″ step stool would be just about perfect height from the muscular standpoint for step ups.
