  • Notes: Short but decent day today. Got a 25 yd mask retrieval pretty easily today, although my css doesn't feel very strong. Turkish get-ups and the plank circuit are two things I would like to be doing regularly. One of my goals is to be able to finish the plank circuit at about 15-20 seconds per position with a weight vest. 
  • Body: Upper back and traps are tight, need to massage them out.
  • General: I need to sign up for a race/event soon so that I can start to get more focused. Now that I'm coming back from the injuries it's time to start training more specifically in the coming weeks.

  • Notes: Pushing the elbow and groin a little more each day and feeling good. I should be ready to start some sort of strength progression soon, just wanna make sure everything is ready to go first.
  • Body: Doing an adductor smash with the barbell after each session has really been helping to make my groin feel better. Also been going after my high hammies which have just been knotted up wrecks, so I think everything together has fed some slack to the groin hopefully.
