20 kg swings 20 x 7 115 press 5 x 5( full touch) 35 lb curls 4 x 8

 Went a bit lighter to make sure I could touch neck every rep. worked well.

and the straight bar curls actually seem to be helping my right arm and shoulder by strengthening the supinators in a way nothing else has

Fingers crossed

135 x 5 x 5 ! db rear delts 5 x 10 w/20s straight bar curls 4 x 8 with 35 lbs

 This went great stronger than expected. Next week its 145 for 5 x 3 then build

I think the straight bar curls are having a positive effect on my shoulders as it strengthen the supinators of the arm

35 lb ruck New Coros Pace 4 watch 3.87 miles ( 9 laps) 19:05 ave pace!

 Well I am that slow it seems 
Heavy legs to from  yesterday but that just made the effort harder but the speed was the same as alway

Stopped to click the lap every .42 miles( the actually distance of the lap) and that couldnt help the average

Most of the laps were mid 18 to 18:40 pace

the watch is cool just have to figure out. how to use it a bit better to get more efficient

TONS of data and the info on the watch face makes it easier to see whats happening IRT

It also sees shorter steps are definitely faster

At least today

163.3

OH sleep data on the watch is great

1:21. min deep sleep and only awake for   TWELVE MIN ALL NIGHT

thats a record

40 kg swings 10 x 5/5, 40kg belt squats 5 x 10 rev pullapart 5 x 15 ( 13 min total)

 This was strong but hard, Had thoughts of doing a 2 min 15 :15 sets to test but ths was hard enough for today

First set took about 10 second so it'll fit but man I hate going breathless like this

We'll see



Started only with left arm and that actually felt good

35 lb ruck 2.45 miles in 47:57 ( six laps)19.33 ave pace 6600 reps

 Used the apple watch to see what it would show and it sucks

Probably just go with the stopwatch function for the six laps

the watch say 3-07 mph the phone says 3.4

WTF?

135 x 4 x 6 , db rear delts 5 x 10, straight bar curls 35 x 8 x 3

 This went great. It seems if I keep the bar as high as possible on the clavicle my shoulders dont clunk

Warmups
105 x 3
115 x 2

125 x 1

then plates nice to be back. Will stay here and start adding sets of 5

I thought the straight bar curls might help  my external rotation and this morning as I write this it seems no problems for the biceps wrists or shoulder

35 lb ruck 9 laps in 1:10:17, 10,000 steps

 Strange test. Just went by laps not measured distance

First lap was about 8 min 

Second a bit faster but around the same

4 laps in 32 min

6 in just 55 min

then 9 in 1:10

each lap I stopped to ( try) to calculate distance speed etc no longer than 30 sec rest

All weird but it was a hard effort

Time change and only 5:30 sleep (dog) but 65 HRV so I felt decent
