175 x 1 x 20, stability ball backextensions 4 x 10

 This went well. Strong from first to last set.
Pretty close to auto pilot, with these weights at least

The back extensions are just what I need! seem very weak but definitely a balancer, a corrective for all the ab tension  I get from swings and rucking

Should have been doing these all along

35 lb 5 mile ruck 1:13:53 14:46 ave pace! 5th fastest

Well the technique worked and held but it was not an easy ruck. I can see now how I let the technique of Lean,Fall and Plant decline into Lean from the waist and over stride

You have to really stay on top of it but I did and was very close to 14:40 again 



Last mile was  14:10!

32 kg swings 40 x 5 in 40m, 40 kg belt squat 3 x 8 pullaparts 3 x 15

 Rough nights sleep and hard mental focus but it got done, strongly and got better towards the end and no body parts fell off!

35lb 3 mile ruck 44:34, 14:50 ave Speed. is back!

Lean Fall Plant! I wasnt leaning and falling enough, thats why my tib was locking up. I was too upright and having to pull my leg through too much

This was actually easy!

Just Lean and fall more and my lower leg ends up just under my CCOM instead of in front of it!

Thank G-d I figured. it out.As always it is technique

 VERY strong day. Fastest 190 I've done in awhile

35 lb 5 mile ruck 1:15:24 15:04 ave pace

 This was weird. Purposely went slow first mile but the watch said 15:54! Did not feel that slow, Current pace showed like 15:30 

Then 14:59 which was fine no shin issues but stopped to pick up a glass hazard on the track and the next mile  was 15:21 which made less sense

then 14:41 and 14:17. slowest I've been in months

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
