Day score: 7. Felt really tired waking up from the time difference but somehow got a great HRV??? Sometimes life doesn’t make sense. No pain no soreness. Little uncomfortable in my right knee.
9/27
*single session
A1. 3 band-resisted clean grip DLs x5, rest as needed
*moderate weight- focus on not letting the bar pull you forward
**set band on rig in front of bar and hook to bar so the band is pulling the bar forward
*slight weight increase
A2. 5 FS speed band-resisted front squats @ 50-60% x5, rest as needed
*slight weight increase
Worked up to 285 on the clean pulls & did 205 on the front squats. The clean pulls felt great but the front squats were way tougher than last week. Still managed to keep the speed higher than average FS.

B1. AMRAP-2 UB CTB x2, rest 1 min
B2. 15 thrusters @ 95# x2, rest 1 min
Moved pretty well through this. The thrusters are feeling lighter every week! Did 18 & 15 on the C2B and honestly only had to come down because my grips were slowly sliding out to the sides and I didn’t want to tear lol
C. 50ft lunge x5, rest 1 min
*Set 1: 2-DB OH 50# ea
*Set 2: 2-DB front rack 50# ea
*Set 3: 2-DB in farmer’s position 50# ea
*Set 4: Barbell front rack 105#
*Set 5: Barbell OH 105#
So I underestimated the hell out of this. Maybe I didn’t take enough rest between the B’s and starting this but that first 50ft double db oh was exhausting. My left arm buckled at the about the halfway mark. All the rest of the lunges still “hurt” (not pain but like muscle fatigue) but was able to stay unbroken.
Went to my old weightlifting gym after the Opex Day 1 to visit my friends and ending up snatching & almost hitting a lifetime PR!!! So many things are showing results and we’ve only been working together for a month or two I can’t believe it!!!
