Fast and easy ruck



Yesterday's 52 kg one arm swings didn't leave me sore or tired this morning. A wee bit too much wine but other than that, good to go.
I was a bit worried when I started the ruck as my right glute and hammy were a bit tight but after doing an iso squat on the first lap it started to loosen up very quickly.

I didn't think it would be a fast day but my legs felt great and recovery after a hard lap very quick

50 lb ruck
12 laps
11 iso squats
6th lap 7:44
8th lap 7:22
11th lap 7:09 !!

nose breathing the whole time, too.

BW 165
BF 12.9 ?!?
W 56.2

I guess I didn't drink as much tea as I thought between wine :) oops

ok tomorrow is 120lb presses for speed work and de load.

 Thought about going back to 5x5 for a hot second then my left shoulder  reminded me why I stopped doing them before. It doesn't seem to...
