35 lb 5 mile ruck 1:14:15 14:50 ave pace

 

This went well despite a slow first mile 15:28 

Same pace as last Sunday
Sleep was decent but sciatica still woke me up hard time unfucking it but so far today it hasnt talked to me even in my nap

Clubells tomorrow so we'll see

164.6

32 kg swings 30 x 5 in 25 min, 16 kg front squat 5 x 5, pullaparts 3 x 20, bench pushups 5 x 10

 Slept decent ( took pigeninin ) RIGHT before bed and it helped and sciatica didnt kick in at all til 3 am so its getting better

Knee nerve flossing is helping and I had the most back relaxed evening in a week.
Warmed up cautiously and used old lumbo pelvic rhythm style and didnt try to swing high and it went well

Could have done 40 but 30 seemed smarter

Kb front squats ( just left arm rack) were good too

Pushups were not , left shoulder rattling around too much so those are out as a replacement for presses

Next up : CB arm and shield casts

164.8

11.9

35 lb 3 mile ruck 44:15, 14:44 ave pace!

 

didnt plan on going this fast especially since sciatica is still yakking at me but it was strong and easy

Sciatica does rear up on rucks 

165.4

170 x 1 x 10, 180. x 1,185 x 1, 20kg swings 20 x 5 in10 min, scott band ext 3 x 20,18,15

 Slept the best I have in weeks 6:52! been exhausted and sciatica was almost gone and I could lay on my. back, lit up a little on side sleeping but its better!

No hangs or cossacks but hip is still not perfect and I felt quadratus femoris a on right arm swings in the first few sets

adapted to  more quad style but WTF is going on

No issues now at 5 but???
presses felt good just very tight and stiff and low energy

I need more than one good night to get back

166.8 at workout

175 x 1 x 13, scott triceps ext 3 x 15 db rear delts 4 x 12 with 12s

 This went shockingly well considering my sciatic pain coming back and four nights of shit sleep made me just about ditch the press again

Nothing scares me more than low back pain and this was a direct reminder even though it was just a hint of it; I remembered fast

But I didnt do any hangs or cossack stretches today and so far so good, even now after the training and a nap ( where it showed up yesterday and I couldnt get comfortable at all. Nor relax

Tonight will tell

BUT the presses were ALL PERFECT  I was tired so I stopped at 13 but man this is the BEST form I have ever done

165.4 lightest of late . Pain, fear and poor sleep not good for my appetite at all
No worries though as I'm liking eating less

35 lb 5 mile ruck 1:13:33. 14:50 ave pace

 Started out almost too slow ( 15:41 first mile ) but ended up great> Very strong despite more bad sleep now front right leg sciatica!  havent had this for over 20 years. Gotta figure out where this sources from

 

165.8

32 kg swings 40 x 5 in 40 min, 16 kg kb front squat 4 x 5each side, pullaparts

 Not a great night again. Feels like sciatica now in my right thigh and calf. I think its just wrong rotations in the tib and femur but its not nice and I'm not in the mood for it

Adjust swing for a bit and kept head up more and tried to arch better and it helped but lumbar felt weak throughout

Not sure it just wasnt new position

KB front squats seemed to actually help

I think I've  just been roundback bending over too much all day for dogs waterbowls and dog stuff so I'll stop that

As I write this at 6 pm I feel normal so we'll see

best height I've had on the right arm in forever. Looking up helped

165.8

11.5

35 lb 3. mile ruck 44:25, 14:47 ave pace

 This was way better than expected. First GOOD nights sleep since July 4 and it showed up. I was shooting for 14:52 or better but actually thought I was behind! Trying to math when rucking isnt good but alls well  than ends well.

It was 80 degrees but a good breeze and I was solid althought I had to push it to get that speed

Legs were NOT light or loose
