So fun to snatch and clean.  Front 1 1/4's were hard of course.  Sumo DLs didn't seem to grind too much with the light weight.  Everything else went well.  Thanks!

This was a cool workout.  The interesting thing about the front rack split squats was that I felt a lot of tension in the low back on the same side as the front leg.  Probably supposed to be that way but wanted to report it.  These are super hard by the last few reps just on leg strength driving up and I am definitely feeling soreness the next day.  Bulgarian DLs were cool, funny how tempting it was to round my back or bend the knee and squat more, had to fight it.  Kang squats were hard!  Just to do 10 slow and controlled in a row with the bar, I was breathing heavy after...how and when to breath was an issue because of how long the movement took, was cool to practice.  DLs went well.  So did everything else.  Back muscles were fired up by the end.  I am sore the next day already, especially my right hami/butt.  Thanks!

This was a very enjoyable workout.  Super happy about how the t2b went.  Usually that causes me some right shoulder discomfort but today is was so minor it was just a subtle reminder of what used to be.  Arms were spaghetti after this one.  Thanks!

Not much to say on this one.  I did the DBs snatches 12 in a row on one arm then switched.  Could have done 35# but he gym is borrowing my 35's.  40 seemed too heavy for 12 in a row on one arm.  No cramping on the hip isometric this week, I did stretch right away though.  Thanks!

Feeling good...sore legs and low back muscles and low/lateral abs but nothing like last week.  I had to switch up my rest day this week d/t my schedule.  This first video are the first two hollow body pull ups and the second video is rep 49 and attempt at 50.  Even I can tell I have plenty to work on with not losing my lumbar curve.  I had to break up the hinge rows to 6/6 and then 6/3/3.  I inserted the videos just to be sure they looked the way you want them too.  Single arm rows were fun and harder than I thought they would be.  The E series felt great, those lateral db extensions really get at some little muscle in the shoulder, cool.  Thanks!
