C)#65/75 Bulgarian SS
Short on time. Only got to lift. Everything was 10,000lbs today ?
Not enough time to warm-up too? This could have been the reason everything felt so heavy too!
Was there something else before the lifting or was the granite games qualifier supposed to be a warm up? I just did a general barbell warm up. Iām not signed up for the granite games so I havenāt been doing those. Should I be?
There wasnāt anything specific but there should be a specific warmup you have in order to get your body primed and ready to rock. I just though if you rushed your session then you didnāt prioritise warming up hence why everything felt heavy.
AM- RUN endurance on Air Runner 17:42/17:40, this felt much better than last weeks run endurance which about killed me hahahah
PM
Ring Muscle Up work for about 20 min-Swings/strict /kipping – technique focus
Clean + squat + jerk- Jerks just feel horrible the last few Saturday’s – bar just feels heavy- maybe I just have too high of expectations on what I “should”be able to lift?
SAO:
1. 45# DB
2. 8# DBS- this was irritating my shoulder a bit
3. Empty bar
Post video of your lifts to FB and lets see if we can help.

Did some sandbag over the yoke and z press, then ran out of time

The thought of showering with those hands just made me want to throw up
To me thereās no worse pain
ouchie! Mine arenāt that bad! I got a nasty blood blister but it popped later when I was snatching yesterday ??.. I rarely rip, but when I do… Winnieās RIP fix is good! All wrapped up and healing nicely š
Damn dude. Look after those hands this weekend!
I will. Usually takes 3-4 days to be able to grab a barbell. Thankfully tomorrow is a rest day
Damn dude!
