33 Minutes of Stretching

Comments: Head still feeling a little foggy but not as bad as the day before. Started things off with log cleans. I was feeling almost winded from the reps on the lighter sets. Feels like so much extraneous movement for such light weight but I know this will protect and hone in my form with the heavier weights. Really worked on almost violently pushing my elbows through at the top of the clean for solid rack position. Hatfield squats after that. Right knee a little achy but not as bad as yesterday. I was mindful of it on the reps when I walked out the weight and when I was in the hole. Not an issue though. Onward home for the events. Heaviest farmer’s walks have been on a full deload I think. I felt it was smarter to do some warming up rather than just go right off the bat. I went a little heavier than planned as it was easier to just shove two plates on each side rather than breaking out all the loose change. Moving pretty good. Sandbag followed. This was supposed to be a lot lighter but the bags inside the big bag have burst. I was lucky to get it down this light haha. Quite a difference in speed with the decreased weight. No biceps issues here. Finished up before the sun set so I didn’t need any lanterns. Good bit of stretching to end it. Getting deep tissue massage after work tomorrow and then two more days of light training to go.
