B. Deadlift 3×10 @300lbs. Felt good.
Didn’t have time for the rest.
Conditioning
Only time for 3 rounds @15:30, subbed 20 Front Rack lunges instead of squats. Taking a few days off squats for the knee to feel better.
Pulling looks strong, now to get your knee healthy!
Are those row paces something of what’s imagined? My 2k PR is 6:42, not that I think I can hit that right now though.
or sure. It’s a weird combo of my calf and hamstring, maybe addiction being real tight. Currently a possible nerve entrapment of my tibial nerve leaving me with my heel being somewhat numb. It is improving, just slowly.
I’d say that they should be 2-3 seconds faster across the board with your final 100% around 1:40 which would be your 2k PR pace. If you continue to hit these I’m sure you’ll be sub 6:40 soon 🙂
Stay on top of your hamstring, quad, hip and calf mobility and if it doesn’t clear I would hit up a PT and get assessed.

Is there any strategy to the Dumbbell Burpee Deadlifts? They just seem so slow
Dumbbell Burpee deadlifts are just just the same as burpees. It’s a grind and you just have to have the mentality to keep moving. You’re never going to fail a rep. Just put your body in the floor and get back up again. Stay checked in and mentally tough!

Whats going on with your knee?
I started getting some pain there about year ago when I was powerlifting. Probably from the amount of heavy squats I was doing and my knees drifting in a bunch. It’s been better these past few months but recently it’s felt sore.
Are you doing all the activation work programmed? The Wednesday combo should help activate and stop you from compensating
Yeah I’ve been doing that and some of PT work too. I think I need to lower my 1-RMs for back/front squat so I can focus on my form more.
