This was very decent. The only mistake I made was unracking with too much leg and not enough arm tension. I was confused about that from the very start.What I did on Monday ( which was correct) was done un consciously and today I was thinking about it
But, in retrospect, that was the problem, not enough arm tension. And still all ten moved great
Had a cancellation today and was feeling VERY spry; NO residual anything from yesterday's presses. Pretty amazing actually
Last time I did this was Feb 1 2024 so almost a year to the month. I wrote that I did 13:31 for the two lap mile with a HR of 155 ( hand counted) after ten seconds. I wrote that gave me a max vo2 of 41 but that doesn't seem right
Warmed up with a 1/2 mile at 6 min half mile or so so I had hopes for a 13 min mile and a lower HR
Used the stopwatch on the apple watch to time the first half mile then turned it off. BUT when I started the test the aver pace was already too high. I just kept watching the stopwatch but it distracted me thinking it wasn't right
Passed the first lap in 6 :30 pace so I thought I was golden but when I hit the second lap that I started it said I still had .04 to go or something!
It didn't register the mile til I got back to where I started THE WARMUP
ACK
But based on two laps
13:15 mile
HR at finish 130
Max vo2 score 36.2
Rating Excellent
VERY close to a superior rating
Oh I also wore my old Go Rucks but I'm not used to them. Let anterior tib started tightening up 1/4 mile in: not used to this pace but I still gutted it out
Next time: normal ruck boots
don't use stopwatch to time warmup
GO FASTER
This went great! Tried to just go as naturally as I could and not overthink things. Wore elbow sleeves too and that seemed to help
135x1

Very sure I could have done 205 but didn't want to push anymore til I see how things are 24 hours post
Once I realized my elbow flair is not new I just accepted it and went by feel
Wow, quads were sore from the start today! good sore. though it would affect my ruck more but it didn't
another fast and strong one! 35 lbs is the sweet spot it seems
35lb ruck
9 laps
4.73 miles
1:13
15:27 ave mile pace!

Slept great 7.5 hrs!

12.9 no bath my body likes the impossible whopper it seems lol
This went well. Trigger thumb actually seems to be better after a week of wearing the splint 22 hours a day ( training and such), so I will put off the surgery for a bit more and see what happens
SO I could grip the bell harder and that was certainly better than last week. Of course I was doing five's not tens; back to my old current style with the armed glued and leaning back at the top to maximize bell height
Definitely staying with this style it's the strongest and safest
Probably going to just do 20-22 sets of 5 with all the bells going forward
wk1 36
wk2 40
wk3 44
wk4 48
rinse and repeat. that should be plenty
40 kg belt squats
wow my legs got sore in ONE DAY from this
4 x 10 haven't done this in a minute
Chin presses ; just very light grease the groove
173.4
This went well although my left lat was definitely working too hard. In a crampy way that had me worried but stretched out pretty well right away. We'll see what tonight brings but I think it will be fine
Left elbow/arm is definitely higher but not seemingly a problem- at these weights at least
I think the main issue was the triples from 45 - 160 x 2 . back to only singles
135 x 3
145x3
150x3
155x3
160x2
165x1 x 5
170x1 x 2
This worked GREAT! I started out very cautiously and slowly, especially at 135 and above but the tricep, biceps tendon and elbow were fine
65, 85,95 x 3
135x2
155x1
165x1
170x1
