CONDITIONING

TABEARTA

Tabata protocol bear complex w/95lbs, 1 minute rest, repeat tabata protocol (so 9 minutes work total)

Notes: Hamstring feels 100%. Sticking the the SSB to give the elbow/forearm continued relief. Nerve pain is greatly diminished, but still flares up. The SSB really points out weaknesses for me, so this may have been a happy accident. Biggest issue is bracing. I’m much weaker on that with the SSB vs a straight bar. I had intentions of using more weight, but 365 proved to be challenging enough.

Ran giant sets as usual. Started off jump-squat-chin-press, then squat-chin-press, then squat-pull apart. Dips were rest paused until done.

It’s awesome how good those jumps are getting. Never thought I’d see the day.

In-laws leave today. Life gets a bit more back to normal for now.

PM WORKOUT (1630)

Keg grace in 2:13 (5 second PR)

Tang Soo Do class at 1915

Notes: Keg Grace continues to just be nutty.  I felt like I was moving slow, but I guess I was actually moving fast enough to put some hurt on myself.  

Tang Soo Do was solid.  Got to review everything before our test on Saturday.
