Block Pull 1×3 @ 122.5

Resting 2 minutes.
All ok.
A little tightness on the left side.
Switched to hook grip after rep 1 on the top set.

Situps 3xAMRAP @ BW

Resting 2 minutes.
15/12/10
All good here.

Sandbag Over Shoulder 5 minute AMRAP

Managed 2 reps before left glute started complaining so noped out after feeling that.
Think the pick on this is probably way too low.

Stretches

Hip Flexor – Feeling ok here today. Reckon I can still get a better stretch so will experiment with some general body positioning here.

Toe Touch – Physio advised not to fully lock the knees here so I’m trying a soft lockout. Feeling more of a stretch in the lower back and hamstrings as opposed to across the back of the knee.

Summary

Not bad overall.
A little annoyed at the sandbag.
Everything else ok.

A little slippy under foot on a couple but felt ok overall.

Stretches
Hip Flexors – Feeling better today.
Might need to get a thicker pad for my knees!

Toe Touch – Did 2 rounds.
Back of the knees feeling the most stretch. Not a massive fan of how that feels but the whole chain feels better after.

Summary

No major problems today.

Block Pull 5×3 Ascending to 120

Resting 2 minutes.
Felt good here.
No problems.

Sit Ups 3xAMRAP @ BW

Resting 2 minutes.
Last set was tough.
Trying not to “launch” off the floor.

Keg Carries 5 minute AMRAP

Delightful as usual.

Stretches.

Hip Flexors 3×20 seconds.
Toe Touch 1x AMRAP

Hip flexor stretch feeling better today.
Opposite for the toe touch. Not as much stretch as yesterday. Proximity to the wall seems to prevent getting a full stretch into the hamstring.

Summary

Not too bad today.
