C. 240/260
D. 5-275, 3-315, 1-360 followed by 335 for E2MOM 4×3… Didn’t have it for 4 reps, started feeling dizzy, light headed. Went home after strength. Not sure what was up, only think I could think of was my active recovery the day before I swam 1000 yards, may have been too much but I’m finally feeling comfortable in the water.

Evening.

Feels back to normal now.. It just always locks up whenever I do any heavy posterior chain movements like heavy DL or heavy Sandbag carries and combine it with a run. I’m really excited to finally fix this !

Session 1 A. Done B. Tempo Front Squats – 200/215/230/245/260 C. Clean + 2 FS + Jerk – 185/190×2/200×2 D1. Back Squat – 255/295/330 D2. Back Squat EMOM – 310 Notes: Front squats felt good today and I was able to do the clean complex at the top end of the percentages. Haven’t been able to get saturday jerk workouts in but focusing on keeping my rib cage down has helped with my positioning. Back squats were heavier than usual and I definitely struggled but I was able to power through the EMOM. Worked on moving feet in closer together… Read more »
