**ASSISTANCE/CONDITIONING**
30 GHRs
FRAN WOD w/strict chins
Time 6:00 flat
Notes:
* Definitely had more on my mind for the deadlifts, and pulled 405 as a warm-up and said to myself “Are you f**king kidding me?” with how heavy it felt, but I had to keep in mind that about 12 hours prior I had squatted 11 sets of 425 for doubles as part of a giant set, so I’m sure some fatigue was carrying there. And really, I imagine those keg presses had really added into it. But in either since, I accomplished the goal of working hard, because once again my face is a warzone of blown out blood vessels.
* Bench weight was just about perfect. May have had another 5lbs or more in me, but it was certainly challenging.
* My pulls were SUPER straight legged, even for me. A product of SLDLs with Super Squats alongside my quads being pretty fatigued from squats. Really had to focus on squeezing the weight off the floor.
* I like how the assistance shook out. And Fran is a great compliment to this day: front squats, overhead and chins.
* Probably some more conditioning on the horizon later today.
PM
Got my COVID booster in one arm and flu shot in the other today. The tech told me to work my arms out to help with the soreness, so of course, I did TABEARTA.
Tomorrow will be fasted conditioning in the AM and Tang Soo Do in the PM.
Hi MythicalStrength. Just wondering, when you do neck harness work is it mainly just the bent forward, neck up and down motion that you stick to? No side work? And is it once a week or so? I just bought a neck harness and am looking forward to building a KO-proof neck. The fact that you can do 45 lbs for multiple sets of 20 impresses me. Do you also ever do any neck strengthening stuff you picked up from combat training?
ReplyDeleteHey dude,
DeleteI only ever do 1 set rather than multiple sets, but I do it daily. I use the harness to go up and down and side to side, and will do neck curls with a plate to round it out. Sometimes, instead of neck harness, I do wrestling bridges. I wear a beanie when I do that, to save my hairline.
Thanks for the response.
