30 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: This workout had to change with the issues from the last few days. New training but with old places and equipment haha. Went right over to Max Fitness to start out the workout. I’m going to need to tweak the setup for hatfield squats when I train here with the power racks being different. Hell, the ssb bar is a little different too. I think my stance was forced to be a bit wider than I would have liked as the rack I was using had a small wood block area added to it that is used to keep a bench from sliding when someone is using the rack for pressing. I didn’t like how it made my knees feel with the wider stance so I just grinned and bared it by walking over the block when walking out the weight and having my toes slightly on it. My entire midsection still beat from moving the equipment and my right hip still achy as well. I went a little heavier than recommended as the plate math was easier with the heavier bar. Hardest these have felt the entire cycle, feeling the grinders. I tried a different hand position for one of the reps and it didn’t feel good on my shoulders so I went right back to how I’ve been doing it. GHR felt great and it was good to get to do it on a true GHR again. Big difference in how the hamstrings get worked. I miscounted on the second set but these reps were easy. Headed home to do the strongman stuff in the street aka disturbing the peace. I feel my yoke is tougher than the ones I use in contest and the one I had been using. The single cross bar means that the weight will oscillate up and down rather than shift side to side slightly. I got used to it after a set and improved my time by over a second by the end of it. Cross bar really digs into my upper back. Keg went well. Used a piece of foam and two pine wood planks as a crash pad. Keg has seen better days but it was used by Jenkins so that is good enough for me. I might need to wear gloves in the future to keep the one end from cutting up my hands so much. I’m getting used to the breathing heavy aspect. Massive lower back pump on the last set. Pain in the butt putting all the weights away but it felt good to train with the familiar again. Loads of stretching afterwards.
