B. Kept light, built to 55
C. 90/95/100/105/105/105
D. 3:01 unbroken

6:02 I was scared about my hands. I was on an outdoor rig with no shade in over 100 degrees, so I knew my hands would melt on the hot bar on the bmus, so I broke them up 3/3/3-3/2/2-2/1/1/1- but I could feel my hands tearing. Got a small blood blister on the last bmu. Hopefully this humid heat wave will end soon.

First day of the new cycle for me. Trying something different again this cycle so we will see how it works. I usually have to cut a few of the lifting pieces because I dont have enough time to get everything in. This cycle I am going to try to get them all in. So I will be doing 2 “lifting only” sessions a week and instead of doing single modality (running/rowing/biking) pieces in the morning sessions, I am going to do the engine/mixed modal/strongman stuff to get a little more variance due to the lifting only sessions. We’ll see… Read more »

B.) 35/55/60, 35#
C.) 130/140/150

4:17: thrusters UB, mu 3/3/3, 5/2, 3/2. I should’ve went unbroken on the 5 but my grip slipped. Womp.
Happy with my times. I couldn’t have held on to UB pull ups or c2b. I would’ve had to rest too much

Times: 4:58 – 5:43 – 6:40 Think i was not using my legs (enough) during the thrusters at the start which caused some trouble for my shoulders down the line. Pull ups and chest to bar felt smooth, got a rough start on the bmu untill my girlfriend reminded me to use my knees (travis airchair tip) after the tip it… Read more »

Focus on an aggressive hip extension on this thrusters, that will allow you to generate more power as you go to drive the bar overhead. ?

Doesn’t look bad to me with the consistency. I do believer you could have went unbroken on those thrusters though 🙂
