Trust yourself and push the pace! You’re capable of sub 12 but you have to go into the workout with the right intention first.

AM session: Primary Conditioning A. Done B. Worried to try ring MU since my pec has been getting this weird tingly feeling since I’ve been back from vacation. Did 10 c2b and 10 SHSPU instead.. 17:38 C and D – done PM Session: Convinced myself I needed the assault bike conditioning instead of coming back to lift 🙁 It’s one of my biggest weaknesses and I hate it…a lot… but priorities, right?? Cals between 40-45 each round Had time to do part of strength: P. C & J – up to 165, stayed there for last 4 sets because of… Read more »

Not happy with this. 1st round in 3:30, 2nd in 4:30, 3rd in 5:24 – lots of drop off on the run and too much rest between MU breaks.

Primary Strength
A) done
B) missed 95% both times.
C) 205,205,215,215,220(missed). Tried to keep the weight low and focus on getting positions right but not doing well today.
D) hit 155(25#s under 1RM strict press). Had to set the bar down on the set of 8&10.

Tried a MU today and definitely still uncomfortable on the low back. Strict PU’s have gotten more comfortable but more bothersome today. Take the rest of the workload off today and focus on being ready for tomorrow.
