good training day, tried low bar today, and I liked it somewhat.

10X500 feet sprints on uneven dirt/rock terrain, massive hamstring DOMS today, other than that today was good.

You better start overhead pressing soon buddy…

Good training session, floor presses with normal grip was stalling so I switched grips. The benching was all very fast so I don’t think it is too heavy with the percentages I am using.

Got a few body parts irritated from accidents, left elbow irritated, both kneecaps also are extremely sensitive (horrible fall down stairs)

500X10 feet sprints on rock terrain, (different one) hamstrings feeling a bit tight from yesterday’s goodmornings. Knees are a little better, still hurt to get hit a certain way, probably just bruising.

I will be keeping my distance from stiff legged deadlifts and good mornings for one or two three week cycles to give my back a break from that.

500X1 all out, was an amazing sprint for me

It is cooling down where I live, and my asthma was acting up some, also had to stop short because of an intense stabbing feeling. Did some restorative stuff for soreness, and for my elbows that were irritated today.

My back is still bothering me, just not as much as last time it was strained, or yesterday. It felt better after the “russian leg curls” which are also called a natural glute hamraise.
