Took rest day Wednesday so did this Thursday.
Mobility done.
A. Nowhere near a muscle up so adapted all of this to still be challenging – as many false grip pull ups I could do.
B. DL done up to 85kgs
C. Opted for front squat as can’t manage thrusters at the minute. Almost done, I slipped on the 5 round of the EMOM & smashed my knee on the floor and had to stop! Bruised but no real damage

Done on Thursday.
Mobility done.
A – Still struggling with rocking transitions. Did EMOM with 2 Strict MUs.
B – 10@210, 10@255, 8@315, 6@355, 3@380 (bailed on 4th rep – could feel back rounding)
C – The part of this workout I enjoyed the most was putting the weights away when it was over. Done. Thrusters @115. Subbed V-ups with 20# med ball for T2B. 3 RFT 7:42.

A day behind with limited time today before physio.
Mobility done
Then 1 strict MU per minute for 10 minutes.
Then Deadlift section: 140/175/205/235/245– only got 2. Was a bit hesitant on last set. MU ok–a few really slow pulls so turn over was slow but still made them all

DMA done.
A. Pick-a-boos, MU transitions, dips. All felt good.
B. DL 135/155/195/225/255 and then 1 @ 275#.
C. Started w/Thrusters @ 75# (light), but out-of-nowhere felt some pain in left shoulder. Did not continue with burpees. T2B felt fine, so did several sets of 5 reps just to be safe. Stopped there. I hope it’s just because of I haven’t taken a day off since last Thursday since my days off were Wed/Thu last week due to scheduling.

Then just ran a 6:30 mile and went home downbeat. 🙁 Hopefully, Friday will bring me better news.

Mobility done A. Strict MU min 1-2, 2MU. Min 3-10, 1MU. Had a couple fails in the 3-10 sets. This was harder than I expected today. Haven’t done strict MUs in awhile. Need to do more of them. Looking forward to completing this emom in the future with doubles for all 10 sets. Muscle recruitment done B. Deadlift 10@165, 10@195, 8@245, 6@275, 4@295 C. Did not go well for me today. Mentally still nursing my calf muscles and the burpee jumping over the bar was taxing. Cut the reps in half on the 15 min EMOM and decided to call… Read more »

It is hard when you are dealing with pain that makes you limited in your movement. I hope that calf heals up quickly!

That training that you and Cheryl helped me with last time really is starting to click. The TTB made it challenging to keep doing that volume of MUs. I did the math it was 96 TTB and 40 MUs

I don’t understand why I’m so slow on T2B, no matter what I always feel I should be way better and way faster when needed.
