32 kg swings 40 x 5 in 40 min, 44 kg beltsquats 3 x 8, band hip flexors 3 x 8/8 black mini

 For literally NO good reason I felt very strong and solid today. When I did my first set of swings I had to double check the weight!

That hasnt happened in forever!

Treating left arm and ride side swings as their own species and it seems to be helping right side a lot. More upright on descent, more hinge LESS quads and far less lower back stabilization requirements AND better bell height

Hot ruck! 93 deg 35 lb three. miles

This was hard. Not because of the heat as   much as left tib locking up again at 2  miles.So not sure why still
First two miles were great and got 2 in 30:08 then a slower mile which screwed up the time

Next step is more gastroc massage and stretching

BUT heat condition and lungs were solid even at 130 HR

175 x 1 x 15, BW squats 7 x 10

 This was as solid as I hoped jumping to this weight. I remember how hard this was a month ago.very pleased with everthing

Stopping all upper body assistance beside rear delt work has definitely helped my recovery and not hurt my size or press power at all

5 mile 35 lb ruck 1:14:28 14:53 ave pace

Good sleep and felt good but deliberately went out  a bit slower than usual for the first mile wanting to make sure my tib didnt tighten up

It didnt but I didnt time time things perfectly and ended up at 14:53 pace, could've been sub 14:50 for sure given how good the last two miles felt but the third mile needed to be faster

All good though


First mile was 15:25

32 kg swings 40 x 5 in 37 min 40,44,48 x 2 kg belt squats x 8, black band hip flexor raises 3 x 8ea

 This was strong but it seemed harder than it should have been, then I found out we were going ever 35 seconds instead of on the minute . that made sense but not necessary

Going up in weight for the belt squats felt good too

35lb ruck 3 mile 44:17 14:44 pace!

This was hard. Started out great though and the first mile flew by without trying.I was worried about my left shin tightening and sure enough it after another 1/2 mile more

I thought it was an anterior tib weakness but now I think its rec fem weakness and my ant tib is overworking for an underworking hip flexor

Gonna add in higher knee lifts,done slower in  my 100 ups and some band hip flexion work and see if that. helps

that being said the time is SECOND BEST EVER  so I cant complain too much plus it was 80+ degrees
