35 lb three mile ruck 1:4:03 14:48 pace

 This was hard pace felt great first two miles ( and current pace was never over 15:10 and the times were slow! Just bit overall tired from yesterdays heavy swings. HRV was 27 too and I rarely have good days that low it seems

slept long though and only 30 min total awake time

48 kg swings 20 x 5 in 25 min, 48 kg belt squats 4 x 8, pullaparts 4 x 20

 This was actually stronger than anticipated and even the right side was decent

Seem more focused again, on gaining some upper body mass with press reps and working for the 40 kg swing test and 205 press for  my 70th 

AND getting my Power beard back !lol

35 lb three mile ruck 44:05 14:40

 pretty strong thought the first mile would actually be sub 15 like last week but it dropped some speed mid way

but 14:40 is fine

Wednesday, October 14, 2026

65-115 x 4 presses then 5x4 at 115, 135 x 1,20 kg swings 20 x 5

 Decided to see if I could figure out how to do reps again, no matter how light

My groove when I did 160-175 5x5 was more solid than I thought so I went back to that



Fours seemed better as I could hold my breath the whole time

65, 85.105, 114 x 4 x 5

163.2

Monday, October 12, 2026

170/175/180 x 1 160 x 1 x 5 Band pushdowns 4 x 12

 Tried the old layback technique: push my hips forward til I start to lean back then press

It worked ok but doesnt give enough bar speed at the start so the lockout was weak

Back to the semi stiff knee Olympic press again
