Played catch with 100 lb medicine ball, maybe 30ish throws?
Definitely. I remember very clearly thinking, “might roll, might die. Okay,” as i started to skid. Although on some morbid level I’m pleased that I remained calm, I’m much more pleased with not being maimed or dead.

Glad you’re okay. Call me an old man, but I wish car tires still had inner tubes like motorcycles. Then if a tire goes retread-shred on you there’s a chance to coast to a stop.
Can’t say I don’t agree, but I don’t know enough to disagree. Either way, it was nice to not have anyone around and to already be going straight. It was more like skid and grind to a stop, but at least things were linear.

SSB box squat, pause and lift heels off ground when on box, no belt
295x3x12, EMOM
15 3 minute rounds on heavy bag, 1 minute rest between rounds. Pace was about 70%-80%, not too aggressive. 2 rounds would be more complex and focus more on positioning and movement, next round would be more simple, such as alternating low kicks to get heart rate and strike volume up. Repeated that pattern 5 times to hit the 15 rounds

Starting cramping during unracking, every time I come back to higher volume spread over multiple sets I feel unprepared, uncoordinated, and untrained.

45° back raise
5 min amrap, didn’t count total but was averaging between 3-5 every 10 seconds. Had to stop a lot, but stayed on the bench resting on the hand supports

Dude. Those pull ups are freaking STOUT. I’ve never heard of anyone doing a 100lb + BW. Seriously jelly
PR is 135x5, I’m a bit off from that. Check out alpha’s log, he has hit +180×8 at 50 lbs heavier body weight. There’s some crazies around here, so I rarely feel too impressed with myself.

Well you should. I’m betting your in a club that very few people on earth are in lol
I’ll try and find his log, sounds interesting!
In fairness, comparing yourself to Brian is probably always going to be a losing effort haha.

SSB calf raise SS/W lunge
Any significant loading on lunges causes a lot of discomfort in left foot, primarily when that foot is in the rear and lifts up onto toes. Sticking to weight vest for them for a while, will see if range of motion can increase.

I love seeing those numbers for weighted pull ups #nohomo
With the fatigue from the deadlifting the day before, I was at least…not mad. Not satisfied, but acceptable. I miss having neutral grips for pull-ups, the full pronated or supinated hand doesn’t feel nearly as good.
