Tempo Squat 1×3 @ 105

Resting 2 minutes.
All good.
Felt light… checked the video and turns out I forgot to load up from 95 to 105!

Hollow Hold

Resting 90 seconds.
All delightful!

Stretches

Hip Flexor – All good. Feeling a better stretch today across the front of the hips.

Toe Touch – Starting to get this I think. Certainly feeling a stretch up into the mid thoracic.

Summary

All good. Skipped the tyre due to time and weather.

Block Pull 1×3 @ 122.5

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

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.

Feeling a little tight in the left glute.

Hollow Holds

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.
