165 x 1 x 10, floor pushups 25 x 3 ring tricep ext bw,

 This actually went well. Slept ok, no sciatica thank G-d but very nervous




the squat technique standing on yoga blocks from Gabby Venus really seems to instanly unwind the back and balance the hips

This all pushing workout makes sense now. Pushups felt strong and really glad I put them back in

My new wobble board arrives today

35 lb five mile ruck 1:15:14,15:02 ave pace

First time back in 15 min mile category in awhile. Despite not great sleep once I got going I thought I would register better numbers but no go.

Still its more than fine when a bad day is just 15 min miles

the sciatic pain and not being able to fully relax really  revs the engine

Wednesday, August 12, 2026

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
