Completed conditioning scaled back as I wasn’t feeling great but wanted to do something.

Harness pulls with 70/60/70kg. Not sure I was doing these correctly, felt it a lot in lower calf (the little calf I have) any tips?

Split Squat 165. 185, last time. Legs were tired though 8 Reps for max reps Snatch Grip deads at 165 was pretty tough for me 3 Strict total plus the dips. Pleased with that, I didn’t attempt the fourth each set because I could “feel” I would miss. Maybe go for it next time Conditioning Scaled 20/15/30/20 5:50/5:35/6:15/5:45 Couple of notes.

Strength! Yes! Arm and Rump Pump! A: Built to 145lbs. Didn’t do this earlier due to scheduling issues but that was about the limit of my mechanics. B: Did 10 at 130lbs R & L. C: SGRDLs at 145, Strict MUs + 2 Ring Dips went 2-3-2-3. Good little sesh. But I’ve gotten more sore and swole as the day has progressed (I blame me pulling 80 GHDs out of nowhere yesterday) which explains me dragging ass on the Met Con earlier. Time for a rest day aka open swim prep tomorrow for GG and my Tri on Sunday. Which… Read more »

Primary Strength A) 205 B) 185×7 each leg. Definitely had more in the tank on left leg but right was only 7. C)185, 225, 275, 275 on SGRDL. My low lumbar has felt strange since monday. No problem in Deadlifts but strict pull ups bother me. Did 1 set of strict MU, didn’t feel good. Thought I’d try eccentrics; also didn’t feel good. Subbed out Strict pull ups until I started to feel the tension. 5 or 6 reps each time. Just hoping to get the blood flowing in there to do some healing. Strength Accessory A) held off.

Be careful dude. I usually get the same sensation when I overextend in ttb. Think about squeezing your butt and staying tight so as not to put any strain on your lower back.

Yeah bro, you know we can recover in that amount of time. And that extra push on the bike ramps up the time it take to get off the bike

Good work!

Session 1, Conditioning:
EMOM done, not great but pushed through to the end: 6:35, 7:37, 7:42, 7:58
Row, Burpee Box jumps Overs and AB were all consistent.
The 20lb wall balls to 10ft were rough. Midline recovering from yesterday so kept over arching my back to make the target so had to slow way down and break them up.
