Ladders weren’t too bad. I feel I can start doing 5 rungs soon.
Deadlifts kicked my ass this time. I just felt worn down by the 3rd set of 250. There are other factors that may have contributed. I’ll see how the next workout goes, then Bear may become PTTP. We’ll see.

I won’t call this easy, but I was very comfortable. I’ve decided to go heavy, medium, light with my pressing ladders since I’ll be trying to do this 3x per week with 3-4 days off. So far so good, I’m already stronger.
During my grip workshop I blew through a GR5 and two decks of cards like they were nothing, and leveraged a 10 pound sledge hammer with authority.

Pressing ladders were good, the new weight is fine. Made it through these ladders without much issue, but I took a break between rungs 2, 3, and 4.
Deadlifts are still relatively easy. I think once I go over 300 I’ll start feeling it more.
I’ll be taking more time off, backing off the bending for a while and make sure I recover properly from this volume.

Grip Work
Farmers Walks
Holding two 8 kg. bells by the bottom- 50 ft.
Holding two 10 lbs. plate together- 2 sets of 50 feet

It’s about time to move up on the pressing ladders. The 5 ladders on the 20 kg. bells is no challenge. Partially because I’m working out the technique flaws that have been holding me back.
The deadlifts actually got easier as I went. I could have kept going on the sets of 235 but time ran out.
I’ve figured out that I need a day off before doing this. I think that’s why it was so hard last time.
I’m going to start practicing loaded cleans with the 40 kg. The time is drawing near...
