35 lb 5 mile ruck 1:13:23 ( 2nd fastest) 14:40 ave pace

 This was a great time and place considering how low energy I felt.Good sleep but legs were slow to wake up Definitely changing squat work to Mondays as the ruck is more important

But super happy I could maintain this pace in this state. Thought I had a shot at 14:37 pace too. It was close



166.6

12.1

32 kg swings 40 x 5 in 45 min. goblet squat 20 kg x 3 x 5 sets, bw lunges 5x5/5

Strong day despite not feeling strong. Better than the other way around

Going to swith squat work onto mondays after presses. it affects rucking too much

35 lb 3 mile ruck 44:32 ( 3rd best) 14:50 ave pace

 This was decent considering only 5 1/2 hours sleep and time crunch but it just made  me push harder and it worked out

Wednesday, May 13, 2026

170 x 1 x 12, 20 kg swings 20 x 5 in 15 min band rear delt 4 x 12

Really strong consistent workout. Hit on all cylinders. actually brought my set up foot placement in a  little and it seemed more stable throughout
see if it holds

Monday, May 11, 2026

185 x 1, 195 x 1, 170 x 1 x 15, reverse band curls and pushdowns

 This went great.  Lifted  my gaze spot up about a foot and focused on unracking with the chest up which helped keep my elbows up and angled back and everything went smoothly

Rushed the setup for the 195 so knees were too soft and I lost balance at the top but bar speed was excellent

Wanted to stress test the weight to see if I've just been weak the last two weeks or tired from Mondays workout and then wed volume and THEN taking the weight

It was the volume













Best session in forever. Going to keep this format for bit going up to 195 -200 and then LIGHT down sets

35lb ruck 5 mile PR 1:13:12 14:38 ave pace!

Actually shocked I broke this PR by so much. Legs didnt feel perfect but obviously loose enough

Saturday, May 09, 2026

32 kg swings 40 x 5 in 40 min, 16 and 20 kg goblet squats 2 x3 and 3 x 3, both leg split squats 3 x 6/6

 This was good despite not great sleep. Dropped the silverback squat during bodymaintenace and subbed it with supported squat stretch and it opened up my  hips much more and I got far. less lower back fatigue during the swings

Goblets were rough showing me how much I need the practice. Still getting a lot of ab involvement but I'll deal

35 lb 3 mile ruck recent PR 44::21, 14:46 ave pace

 


Wow! didnt see this coming! it was pretty hard too, legs were a bit heavy from the max vo2 swings ( which I've decided to go back to strict one min rest (AXE) with the 20 kg

I could feel the effects of lactic acid today.
14:43 is my five mile pr so I should be able to beat that for three soon

Pumped
