35 lb ruck 1.64 miles blister cut it short

 Decided to try out my GoRuck Mackall rucking shoes which SHOULD have worked as I wear them all the time and have the same platform as my MacV2 but got a hot spot on my right pinky toe at 1.64 and I knew it wasn't going to get better so I called it

First mile at 15:15 too so it was fine but now I know the only boots that work are my MacV2's

Oh well

172.5 x 1 x 20, one arm band pushdowns 3 x 15/15, 20 lb double hammer curls 3 x 6

This was hard. Everything moved well but I was too stiff in the shoulders and traps again from swings

 Has to be the volume , not adapted yet

Press technique was solid and I learned I have to keep a soft knee here as well as the swings to get and keep leg tension

set one

32 kg swings 37 sets of 5 in 37 min, 44 kg belt squats 5 x 10, left leg split squat 4 x 10

 Strong day, better than last week, could have done 40 sets but stuck to the progression

Squats were better too, one more set no problem

This foot print setup is magic AND my legs are growing and feel strong again.

that was the missing link

last set of swings
