 Good session, 260 on incline benching, which I have not gotten since end of 2021, when I was bulking...super happy with that.  Deadlift went well too, really ripped those pulls...I actually may leave incline benching first even when sprinting season tails off some....seems like I'm more warmed up, maybe antagonist muscle grouping or something is the cause? Did rollouts at the end which crushed my core...I'm betting it's going to be several days before it's not sore anymore...

Odd workout, really really really flat, no pop at all. I slept fine overnight, worked out regular time, felt energetic...and then did terrible.  Didn't even try 285 on benching. Barely got 275. Tried the cluster at 250 on benching and was struggling too much.  Did an abbreviated session after that since clearly this was going to be a dud.  I'd rather not tear something.

Another good session, had a headwind and still hit 10' 9" on broad jumping.  Also took the drone with me and got some fun footage which I'll post after I'm done editing it down to a reasonable length...

Building back up here with the treadmill...going to get to 2 miles at 6.5 mph, which is still faster than 7 mph on the old one, and then get to 7 mph on the new one...

July 10, 2022 AM: Birdwatching PM: Full Body

Starting off with incline here, as I previously mentioned, due to the high sprint volumes in the summer.  Oddly I felt more ready to deadlift after and had a much easier time doing it....Not sure what to make of that.  Lower volume on power snatches, again, due to the sprinting tiring out my entire posterior chain and hip-hinge abilities.  I may go for 260 on inclining next week.

 OK....so....the old treadmill was definitely not going as fast as it said when you punched in a speed. I did incline walking this morning and noted that the 3 MPH felt closer to like 4.5 on the old one.  Thennnn the 7 mph in the afternoon felt like 9 or 10 on the old one.  That explains the minimal cardio impact or benefit I have felt the past couple years...that motor was probably dying so I wasn't getting the benefit I should have. I'll have to build back up to 2 miles at 7 mph on this new mill.

July 7, 2022 Treadmill Assembly, Lower Body

 New treadmill is here, the old one, after about 13 years, finally was beyond repair.  It would occasionally not turn the belt, like the motor wouldn't even go. Despite the speed indicator being at whatever you said it should be at. It rattled like crazy and felt like it was coming apart as well...I went with proform again since this one just lasted 13 years...Assembly took a while, they sent the wrong size screws for part of it. ...Ended up doing this workout later in the day than I would have preferred.

 Not too bad, taking it easier on the power snatches; sprints tax my hips too much to go all in here during the summer.
