1130 - Strength and skills

(1) Back squat
3 x 5 x 125#

(2) Press
3 x 5 x 100#

(3) Weighted pullup
3 x 5 x 40#

Hollow rock - 15:15 x 8
Wall climbs

(4) Pool w/ fins
200m flutter kicks on back
200m flutter kicks on side w/ board


  • Notes: My snatching is really coming along just from doing burgener WU every day. Back squat felt awesome today -- my form and flexibility were the best they have been. Presses were tough but felt good as well. I really am starting to like wall climbs, and they suck a lot. Also want to work on some neck strength occasionally with the bridges. Found a good way to practice for css w/ fins and that is just to use a board and practice kicking in the side position.
  • Sleep: 7ish hours. Had some late nights this weekend but my sleep didn't suffer too badly.
  • Nutrition: A little junk late last night...home made cookies are heavenly though. Everything else is fine/normal.
  • Body: Quads are slightly tight as well as my hips in general. The olympic lift stretch with the band around the waist felt awesome today and it really helped open my hips up. I have recently especially been struggling with a little tightness/impingement during flexion and abduction in my hips, but that stretch completely nailed the problem areas.
