Comments: Got my workouts sorted out so life is good. Legs and hip were still kind of sore from Friday. Log just felt heavy the whole time. I took the advice to break up the reps rather than using the rebound from the previous rep to help the next rep. Should help me develop my pressing better. Core was just a wobbly mess on log. Really wanted six reps but I guess five is fine for now. Need to add 50lbs to that to even think about having a chance as a pro. Moved on to yoke from there. I had plans for some runs with 755lbs but it felt like the weight of the world just picking it up and I knew that wasn't happening today. Change of plans. Decided to see if supermaximal weights would wake me up some so I did picks adding plates each time. I figured 755lbs would feel light after lifting 1025lbs and it did. Did just one set of 100' (50' downhill and 50' uphill) which was enough. Really need to get back into moving events. Thankfully I have time to get better. Did farmer's after that. I had planned on doing double the sets but after the experience with the yoke, decided to do just two sets. Heavy but not terrible. Finished the day off with the stupid bearhug carry. Only got 100' with it. Man it sucks. I also tallied up my PR's for the year (not including my rehab PR's) and it came out to $109.75. A little less than last year but understandable with the two injuries this year.
