Nice work today Tine – from your posts it sounds like your glutes are pretty tight and that can contribute to back issues so hopefully we will get them to continue to open up!

Mobility done – needed this! Feeling Saturday’s workout big time!

A. Went up to 20kgs, felt wobbly at first but felt my back & hips opening and became more stable. Managed a slightly narrower than clean grip.
B. Done – stayed light, still struggling to get low in my snatch, the snatch balance helped. Went up to 25kgs in snatch and did 40kg for the halting DL.
C. Used 10kg DB for the press & 15kg for Bulgarian squat – these felt tight but good
