Get healthy, focus on strength and eat lots of good food. That should be your off season plan. Baby steps but you can break that mindset and set yourself up for a great 2019 season

Tried to start lifting today but my low back, middle hip was bugging me to where 135lbs did not feel okay, so i skipped it. I’ve been having tightness and feeling like i need an adjustment since 18.4. Gonna try and get a massage and or adjustment tomorrow.

Settled for a 20 min EMOM today so at least do something…

1: 15 cal bike
2: 8 strict pull-ups
3: 60 second prone plank
4: 10 strict hspu

A. Up to 92.5kg
B. Scaled to 92.5kg and got 25 reps with no misses. My 1 rep max is 107.5kg so didn’t think doing 102.5kg would be good idea.
C. 14:22 my least favourite movements, need to work on these. Lungs were the limiter.
D. Done to my best ability.

Agreed on the strongman work. Its my favorite part until I have to put everything away. Its kind of like deadlifting and having to put all your plates away after but you wouldn’t know anything about that 🙂

14?! Even in the morning this should be better. This is a workout which highlights the reason you need to be technically stronger. All that time benching and conditioning is better spent getting strong and working perfect positions and mobility. ??‍♂️
