29 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Back to the somewhat normal Sunday lifting routine. Paused front squats went well, definitely the best they have felt with this weight during this cycle. Not perfect but loads better than it has been. Deadlifting with the trap bar after that. Work up to a solid single. I’m surprised my deadlifting is still doing alright as usually, the beating from event work makes my strength go down. That is not to say that the last single didn’t feel slow and awful. Brought a farmer’s walk handle with me to cut down on setup time. Pretty big jump, working with 110% of contest weight. Grip still feeling strong but definitely feeling the pull in the shoulders and biceps. Reps were dropped but probably could still match them if need be. Home for front yoke carries. Big jump up in weight from last time but only one work set at that weight and then a lighter set. Most weight I’ve done for a front yoke carry. So much pressure on the midsection. I knew it was going to be a full run after the doing a pick beforehand. Still a little shy of contest weight but it will happen. Second set was just a little slower than what I did last week with a lot less weight so that is a good sign too. Ab wheel and then stretching to SyFy channel.
