Block Pull 1×3 @ 122.5

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.
