I have felt much better this week regarding my workout performance. Regarding strength exercises like squats, deadlifts, C&J or Snatch, I have felt a little weak, especially in percentages higher than
85% , But looking foward to my rest day and Friday workouts.

Day behind but yesterday I didn’t feel right at all and I’m glad I rest
B.220 front squat 10# from last test and I haven’t hit this since 2018 regional training
C. 7:52 I have a 12’ rope so I made all the reps legless if there is a better modification let me know
D. 2 rounds + 9 burpees I could not get into a good pace on the row I wanted 3 rounds here but I also had to fix my rings after round 1 because the straps came loose so that’s about 30-40 seconds lost!

2 seconds going down, 2 second pause on the floor expose back up. The first number is always the eccentric.

My wrists and shoulders were very happy to see the absence of OH/Pressing work today. Love me some Included some Mobility & Activation ? A. 2 sets for time sake – Def challenged w/ the Hip adduction movement, hoping i did the right variation of the dead bugs. B. 260/280/295/315/330/343/355/370. These felt easy through 6 sets and suddenly got heavy. C. I enjoyed this and didnt actually feel miserable at all towards the end. Hoping i went for the right stimulus, treated it as a steady grind. 8′ run on AR 50 Deads @225 x10/10/10/10/10 50 Cal AB 50 DB… Read more »

The mental aspect of the sport is as important as the physical. Train your mind the same way you would your body. When you feel your mind slipping or switching off check yourself. When you hear those negative voices when things start to get tough be aware of them but work against them and push yourself further into the discomfort.

Those 60lb. for step overs must be brutal. I just imagine you looking like some of the regionals athletes in 2018 ?
