With my competition delayed again I feel liberated to experiment more and not be so constrained to barbell lifting as much. Did a full-body session on Saturday.

SSB squats
380 x 8, 8, 9

Dumbbell press
115s x 8, 9, 10
-
Super-set with dumbbell rows of same weight and reps

Axle clean and push press
135 x 15

Axle clean once and strict press
135 x 10

This was so much fun. Just the thought of doing my usual squat workout and blowing my eyeballs out with over 500 lbs filled me with dread. Of course that's not a reason in itself to not do something (if anything it's a case for the opposite), but I really needed this change. I'm still going to barbell squat heavy to maintain and grow that lift, just not as frequently.
