29 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Oof is all I can really say. I did box squats with my oly shoes again. Still not sure if they are better, same or worse than my wrestling ones for squats. I added mini bands to the light bands. I'm going to keep the weight the same at 40% or so and just wave the bands and see how that goes. This week is mini and light, next will be monster mini and light and after that is all three bands then no bands with 50% or so. Knees were a little achy today. 430lbs felt light on my back and not painful like it was two weeks ago. 570lbs was easy but it started to slide down and it made it a bit wobbly. 710lbs was slow but much better than last time I did it. 850lbs was haunting me. I knew I had to do better than my pitiful under 10' attempt from last time, especially since I had done 800lbs for 75'. I listened to some Slayer, psyched up and gave it hell. I try to take a step and boom it goes down as I lose my balance. Now I'm angry. I set right under it again and walk ever so slowly with it, each step saying one more. I made it past the 25' mark and had to drop it. At this point, finishing all 50' was a distinct possibility. I re-picked and marched on. Another drop and I'm so close. With one final pick up, I make it. Awesome. I was pretty beat even with the light farmer's. I haven't done any turns since the first week of January. Finished up with Dimel's.
