32 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: A little bit of change for the hatfield squats. Rather than a higher rep then lower rep set, it was lower rep then higher rep. No hard belt up to the working weight. Not as intense on the double as I knew I could do that weight with no issues. Truly focused for the second set for decent reps. About the same level of difficulty. The ssb kept feeling like it was leaning to one side so I tried to surg it to the other side and see if that fixed it. Felt good but just the see-saw motion was making it hard to concentrate. Perhaps upper back was tired from the day before. Headed over to Ironmill to get the rest of the workout done. GHR felt fine on hamstring this session but still feeling some lower back fatigue. With yoke, I did these for the correct distance this time. Feel like I was moving at a good pace. Possibly pick issues are from the tired upper back with the weight settling as I hit my stride. Second set was the best set form and speed wise for me. The loathed keg load was after this. I know I can do it so it less of an issue with building up the nerve to plunge in to it. I less rep but more reps per set. Also rest cut by 15 seconds makes this almost 50/50 of lifting and rest. Really breathing hard by the last set. Again, just one load went catawampus and bounced off the mats in a way that made me have to fetch it mid set. Maybe once this cycle I will get them all perfect. No issues with the biceps so that was a plus. Lots of stretching and went out to get two double meat recovery burritos.
