35 lb 3 mile Ruck PR 44:27 14:48 ave pace

 

this was just strong and fast from the start. sleep was ok and not great emotionally but the ruck just flew

168.4

170 x 1 x 10, 180 x 1, 190 x 1, 195 x 1!! 20 kg swings 20.x 5 iin 8 min! band rear delt 3 x 12

 This went great despite another weird night sleep. Note to self 50 mg of ipigenin is good, 100 is not. long story long night

But the presses were solid. Went back to the tried and true Innov8 fastlift as the flatter shoe gave me some quad feelings I didnt like. along with the wider stance

So back to tried and true

Swings went back to max vo2 style I go you go speed with Nick. Pavel would call it KB AXE Double Espresso

Get it over with faster lol

168.4

8.8

61.4

LBM 153.6 ( at noon post bath)

172.5 x 1 x 20, hammer curls and onearm band pushdowns

 This went well. Not as strong as last week but my body is more achy from the weekend

All techniques were fine though

35 lb 5 mile Ruck 1:14:10 ! ( 2nd fastest) 14:48 ave pace

 Really bad sleep last night barely five hours so I didnt expect to be this fast. Super happy with this

Perfect rucking day, low 60's drizzly, light breeze

167.4

12.5

32 kg Swings 40 x 5 in 40 min, 40 kg belt squats 5 x 10, left leg split squats 3 x 10

 This went well although a bit creaky. Wanted to make sure I ended up with 40 min not 35 and got it done. Almost harder

35 lb 3 mile ruck 45:13, 15:04 pace

 This finished well but was harder than usual. hotter than usual too and didnt sleep well last night

But got through it and the time tied for the 3rd best 3 mile ever. So. not bad

167.6

170 x 1 x 10 , 180 x 1 ( wobbly) 185 x 1 187.5 x 1!, 20. kg swings 20 x 5 11 min

 This went great. Switch back to my Adidas Power lifts which is just flat out more comfortable with the same heel height.

Made PLENTY  of big lifts in them

Matched foot width with grip width and got the heels lined up under the bar AND the elbows SLIGHTLY in front

Just rushed the 187 a bit but strong

 Switched back to Innov8 360 for swings which is best
Swings after presses always takes time to re warm up but all good

168.4 at 12:30 for w/o

172.5 x 1 x 23 . db hammer curls and band pushdowns

This went well. Ended up with 23 sets because the last set was off a bit and wanted to finish perfectly

Key takeaways:

1) elbows have to swing in front of bar on takeoff, not enough to be just under it

2) feet should be width of hands

3)  heels should be just under bar

 

167.6!
