update

Sunday

1 hour ruck w/ 5 bricks (~30#) at green mountain lakewood

Tuesday

jump rope
2 x bb complex
general warmup

single leg deadlift, L/R
10 x 40, 50#

trap bar deadlift
3 x 10 x 115#

amrap in 10 minutes:
10 slingshot pushups
10 situps
10 db rows, 25#

9 rounds + 10 pushups

tabata bike sprints



  • Notes: Deadlifting feels a little bit uncomfortable on the groin, which is a little weird. But getting down into the bottom position definitely puts that small area on tension pretty hard. I'm going to start massaging my adductors out after every session just to make sure that's not the issue.
  • Body: Hip flexors are sore. Probably from the run and ruck this weekend. Elbow is good, groin is iffy.

65 minute run from dowdy draw up towards eldo - 6.2 miles


  • Notes: Perfect day outside today. Trails were a little sloppy but it felt awesome.
  • Body: Hip flexor was getting a little tight, but overall felt good.

5x fast
60 seconds bike sprint
15 slingshot pushups

3x
10 rows, 25#
10 band pull aparts
10 SLDLs, 25# plate

3x
25 situps

  • Notes: Slowly working upper body things back into the mix and everything felt good on the elbow today. Groin is still feeling slightly iffy at times but it has definitely gotten better.
  • Body: Weak, but it will come back.
