2 Sessions today, only one post [LONG] though So something funky is going on with my shoulder – I think I tweaked it doing heavy DB snatches last Friday. It only hurts when I move it a certain way (reaching far across my body), and isn’t limiting my range of motion. So I kinda played it by ear all week, and took Wednesday PM off, then did a few modifications to todays work as well. It is definitely getting better though, so thats a plus. AM Session: Four sets of: Front Squat x 4 reps @ 80% – 255 Rest… Read more »

Sorry to hear about your shoulder but it sounds like you got a good weeks training in and adjusted well. I hope that it feels better come Monday and some extra rest over the weekend will help. Please be smart testing those workouts tomorrow.

How much worse is this combo on the bike?! You were definitely wise to take that extra rest before you drove home.

Good days work!

Fast singles are ok if you struggle with HSPU but the reset takes to long if your competent. it’s a good adjustment when you fatigue only when necessary.

Solid work hitting 315 for your overhead. Good to see you put up some load!

OHS: 200, 205, 210. The narrower grip was better in my shoulder, which I discovered at 205lbs.
Tempo BS up to 300lbs. Legs felt strong today. Hit that for 5 reps.
Conditioning 10:02.
MUs 10, 5×4. 3:37
Row in 2:00 (6:00)
SHSPU 2” Def: 10, 4×5 in 2:00 (8:00)
BBJPs fast and consistent in 2:01 (10:01)
Goal was sub 10 so almost. Felt strong today. Would’ve gotten there with a little less rest in the MUs. Those felt great.
Banded pull alerts, banded triceps work done.
