Another day, and more iron lifted

Had a quick training session yesterday, but did not complete it, so I didn't bother to post about it.

Here is today's carnage:

Gripper work - Same old same old, 2 resistance ladders working up to the CoC2, 4 reps a set, for both left and right. Followed these with chocked closes, same ladder set up, working from CoC trainer to 2.5, for a few singles each hand. 2 ladders that way.

Kneeling Ab Wheel rollouts - BW for 2 sets of 5. These were supersetted with...

Behind the neck pullups - BW for 2 sets of 3-5 reps. Felt not too bad on the shoulder. My flexibility allows me to do these without complications.

Ataturk Getups - 5 getups left and right, alternating arms, for 2 presses per position, moving back and forth between 16 kg and 24 kg+5 lb plate (taped on).

Swings + Cleans + FSQs - double 24 kg kbs with 5 lb. plates duct taped on - 2 sets of 9, 6, 3 respectively. Try to keep FSQ volume low, as my legs are the type that grow just being near a weight.

Presses a la RTK - 32 kg + 2.5 lb plate, and 24 kg + 5 lb plate - 5 ladders, 4 rungs, switching weights back and forth. Were easy. Felt the drain from the Ataturks in the last ladder, but not much.

Deadlifts a la RTK - same weights as Presses, switching weights around on second set. Super easy 2 sets of 25.

That was it. Seems like a lot to some, maybe, but my tolerance for work volume is quite high, thanks to genetics (thank you Grandpa), and a lifetime of lifting weights and hard labor. Anything less, and my body just doesn't bother to respond.
