Front Squat up to 75%

Power Cleans for 20min stayed at 225 working on not pulling early

MU Practice, mostly bar, when out of sync I like to go back to bar it helps me with confidence on rings, I don’t know why

GP1
A. Built up to 135. The movement felt a bit awkward but the load overhead felt comfortable.
GP2
A. Set 1-5 at 83% of new 1RM, was a tough last rep each set but made it. Hip was not feeling right so did not do set 6.
B. 1 climb each min was not to difficult, next time I’ll add a couple rounds of 2 climbs. SHSPU 10/10/10/10/8, haven’t been feeling strong with these lately, not sure if just fatigued when they come up or having shoulder issues.

I am getting my “legs” under me as it were. I have more time in the morning during the summer with my work, so I can devote an hour to the running session and then hit up the masters program some 7-8 hours later. I have been able to not take a step back weight wise or my times. Actually doing better than I thought I would with the running. After my Lower back injury Indidnt seek out any extra running. I really enjoy the three separate session emphasis and find them challenging but doable. I feel I have time… Read more »
