35 lb three mile ruck 44:22, 14:46 ave pace

 

Chin Press 155 x 1 x 7, 20 kg max vo 2 swings 15 x 5, floor pushups 3 x 15

 Thought this might actually help and I think it did but wont know for sure til tomorrow ( or late tonight) Sciatica was back a bit at 1 am but not bad just general tightness. Enough that I couldnt just lie there and relax

Started McKenzie extensions and elevated split squat stretches and some broomstick lay back press positions that seemed to make a difference

It seems I just did too much total volume and broke down but dont think it was the press that did it

These felt easy and just made really sure to lock knees before starting
