2017-01-09: Monday morning lifting.

My new lifting times are at 06:30 in the morning.  Early.  Very early.  I haven't gotten into the early morning groove yet.  But, it's good that my buddy want to lift early, as it certainly sets the standard for getting in bed early and getting to the gym in the morning.  Can't complain about this!

Today's lifts

Barbell Squat

2x5x20kg
5x40kg
3x60kg
3x80kg
3x100kg
1x120kg
2x140kg

Bench Press

20x20kg
5x40kg
5x60kg
5x80kg
3x100kg
21x60kg (PR)

Decided to set myself a new PR at 60kg.  One more rep than my previous 60kg PR.

Barbell Row

4x5x40kg
2x5x60kg

Teaching pendlay rows is always interesting.  I'm a strong advocate of claiming that there isn't one perfect stance when doing these.  The important thing is to find a comfortable stance that exercises the right muscles.  But, given that different people have different limb-lengths, this stance varies from person to person.  I've been taught at least 10 different stances, by different people - and I've only found one that feels right.

We'll find my buddies stance over time.
