WOW my Chest to bars were terrible. First set 15/5/5, but second set was like 8/3/2/2/2/2/2/2/2. In Online competition second day was also worst day for me and there was a lot of upper body pulling. What can I do with it heading to open? I feel like I do already enough pulling work, with my upper back sore all the time.

A. Dead stop front squat: 187 (12# PR) why is this less than my max clean?

I did 2 workouts for my team of 3 for our competition and excited to say I cycled really heavy clean and jerks and wallballs (both my nemesis)

StrongMan Work

150ft prowler sprint, 180#
150ft sled drag, 190#

Did some sprints from a blocks stance to feel my body position for my prowler sprint

Only got the primary stuff done because I had to clean a monster of a house today ? hoping to get the gymnastics/aerobic done tomorrow.
Primary Strength
A) 170# which was a PR
B) 105#/115#/125#/135#/145#/145#/155#/160# for one, failed the second one
C) 115#/125#/135#/145#/155#/160# Fail, which was frustrating because like 3 weeks ago I got 165# for an easy hang clean, but oh well.
D) 85# for 6
100# for 6
110# for 6
115# for 6

One session this afternoon…. had to go back to school today! Also got to talk to a high school dance team about competitive mindset and goals… it was fun to share some of the things I’ve learned from you guys!! Strength A: built to 205 – i dont feel like my glutes do anything on these. I also wonder if I was setup too low? I was like A2G to start. B: build to 185, started to starfish really bad, so didn’t go any higher. C: 195- close to my hang clean PR. Hang feels so much better than from… Read more »

Conditioning:
A. 4:43 My butterfly rhythm definitely needs some work, especially when I’m tired.

Optional:
Gymnastics- Row: 3:31-3:42-3:45, 4 legless then 3 the last two rounds, :20 l sit first round then none the last two rounds

Strongman- 1 round @ 135. Our sled doesn’t have skis and gets a lot of resistance on the concrete. Realized the sled was way too heavy halfway into the sprint but the rope on the sled made changing the weight a hassle. Finished the round and called it a day.
