I’d like to see that drop off being no more than 60-90 seconds. Lets see some consistency! Let us know if we can help with any direction on your nutrition.

Yes sir, I think the biggest drop off was the time it took to complete the shspu, working on that weakness. As far as nutrition, can I email you about it?

If by mental lapse you mean I doubted my ability to stay sub 4:30 and changed my goal to sub 4:45, then yes

Very poorly ?

The 155lb thrusters get heavy fast!

These days count Primary Conditioning. 1-4:45(dropped to 135 after 8 reps; today is hard, just keep moving), 4:14, 4:59, 3:56. Lesson learned: spend more time warming up when feeling super fatigued. I moved better and better each round and went larger sets round 4. Hard to find the groove but felt good once I got there. Strength Accesory A) 105 splits, BW+25# each set.… Read more »

Seems like a pretty good mental breakthrough today. Nice work. Just be sure its not your body trying to tell you something. It’s important to know when you have to just suck it up and soldier on and when to listen and rest. You could be doing more harm than good.
