Quick lunchtime smash&go: 21-15-9 Power Clean & Bar Facing Burpee (5:02) Strict Press: This was encouraging. Hit ALL the percentages today based off my old PR, pre injury/time off. Glad to be getting strength back. My strict is only 170, but happy to be back to normal. Went from 105-135 on these sets. Deadlifts: These felt super easy today. Not sure why. Hit all percentages with no issue. 235-400, based off my 475 PR. Scaled the EMOM. Muscle ups are still not back to normal but on their way. Did 12 deads one minute, then 6 muscle ups the next.… Read more »

A) SP: 75/90/105/90×4 felt strong B) DL: 140/170/195/210/240 felt pretty easy. Last week’s deads I based off prebaby 1RM of 300 & felt fairly heavy at 80%, so I reduced for today’s to 280, but now I’m thinking I shouldn’t have reduced it… Well now I know! C) EMOM: hard work. I dropped after each MU dip for some reason. Should have linked em…hindsight. Conditioning: This lil diddy made me feel like my conditioning is still not up to par. 11:45-row(3:11)-tried to keep over 1000. Dipped into mid/high 900s at 35 cal. C2B is strong but after rowing felt like… Read more »

Session two
Primary strength
A. Done off 175

C. Scaled the deadlift to a laughable weight that I won’t write down haha just wanted to try the muscle up complex. Felt awful haha dips are my limiting factor in my muscle ups
