Did the Cascade Qualifer Event 1 and 2 today for my first session.

Then came back after school and hit the primary conditioning. I did Power snatches instead of squat due to a nagging Quad strain.
6:54. Singles on snatches and unbroken on 12 and 9 muscle ups. Missed the last muscle up and went 5-1.

Good. Finished with a B in Gender Psychology and Microeconomics and a A in Abnormal Pyschology. Started Summer quarter last week and my Kinesiology with specialization in Sports Psychology program too. I’m taking Functional Anatomy and Social Psychology. Taking 12 weeks of material and condensing it in to 6 weeks is not fun.

Lots of great work today! Awesome to see you getting really explosive on those box jumps.

Most people can snatch balance around 110% of their max snatch. Intention isn’t to max out but if you feel good push the load!

Ideally blocks for your dead stop. It means you can focus on your lift rather than trying to position the bar back into the J-Cup. Best be safe!

I figured out my lower back issue seems to be related to my IT band on that side. Ive been trying to MOB and stretch to work it out as much as possible but it is still lingering around. Any suggestions on how to try to correct or fix it would be awesome.

Yea I took most last week off and then started working out again Saturday. I am able to do most movements with no discomfort but certain movements aggravate it more.
I don’t know how to release the psoas/ SI Joint but I will look up how to and try. Thanks man.

Thanks Tino… got MRI results today, 3 mild tears long head of the biceps, supraspinatus and subscapularis ; he doesn’t think I need surgery but recommended a cortisone injection ; I was a little apprehensive but he said he thinks it will help and I will know next week if it will . So I need to take it easy this week!
