Fun day! 🙂 DMA done! My shoulders feel amazing. A. 3@ 65#, 3@ 70#. I made makeshift blocks, then didn’t like using them. I felt intimidated to lift with those plates in the way. So I did hang snatch, and reset each time. B. Times: 5:24, 5:32, 5:48. Bike was around 2:20, 2:30 and 2:40 give or take a second. My strict pull ups need a lot of work, endurance-wise, but they went well for me today. I love doing strict work. Additional: A. back squat 160, no lifters, belt or sleeves. Felt great to squat today. 🙂 B. done.… Read more »

The bolt that holds the pedal on came loose so the pedal was just giving way when you pushed down on it so you couldn’t use any force on it. We fixed it later so should be all good now.

A) 85/85/85/90/90/95 – 75% (125lbs is life time hang snatch PR) B) I think I put in the wrong times for my bike last Wednesday. Today my bike times were almost a minute faster so they can’t be right. Set 1 – off bike at 2:43 finished pull-ups at 5:00. First 9 pull-ups no assistance then went to red band. Set 2 – off bike at 2:57 finished pull-ups at 5:35 First 5 pull-ups no assistance then went to red band.
