Yup. Mostly the right one. Been a battling issue since just before starting Athlete beginning of August. OH squats are the worst on it, heavy OH is mostly manageable. Doesn’t work quite properly on rings. Working hard with my Chiro and Massage to figure it out. Have an IMS needling appt. Monday. It’s just very stiff, reducing useable ROM and creating pain in certain loaded positions

Physiotherapist? That’s who I see on Monday for IMS. My Chiro is awesome and can usually figure all things out but this is just being stubborn.

Since I’ve tried losing weight my jerks have felt very weak and can’t hit numbers consistently like I use to. Glad to see I can still cycle a barbell.

It will be interesting to see if you start working with Jenn you can continue to improve your gymnastics but also get those strength numbers back up.

I definitely like the C2 Bike its more similar to an erg and a little more forgiving than the assault bike 🙂

Haha very true! All the AB were being used for class today so figured it was a good time to use the C2 instead

I did Saturday’s workout but forgot to hit post….

Muscle Snatch x 2: 8585/95
Power Snatch: 125 x 4 sets
Snatch Lifts offs + snatch: 140# x 4 sets. Overall snatching felt good. Still focusing on extending in power snatch.

Power clean x 2 + Power Jerk: 160# x 2 sets/172# x 2 sets. I lowered overall volume with Oly lifts today because I combined yesterday with today.

Front Squats: 165# x 4 sets of 5 reps

Conditioning from today: 7:58. That was tough. Couple no reps. Did last set in two sets. Others were 3 sets.

Always go with intensity over volume. If you don’t get the right stimulus because you’re already focusing on your next session you won’t get the true benefits of the program and workouts. Its better to hit one session hard rather than two sessions at 70-80% effort.
