@FlatsFarmer is this all on youtube?

Slept for a grand total of 2 hours, that is unusually poor.

Front Squat
Ramp to a 2RM at 90, then 4 sets of 2 at 80. Not the best reps, again. Seems like I’ve plateaued around here (90-95).

Thinking about doing this progression that @jskrabac posted,

If I can go from doing 2 reps at 90 to 6x2 reps of 90 in 9 weeks that’d be progress. Mulled over returning to 531, but I tend to become unenamoured by it fairly quickly. I’ve been listening to Jim talk about training maxes and most recently I heard that whatever you can do 5-8 reps with is a decent TM. But, that means a lot of reps for the AMRAP sets, and I just know I’ll start seeing the challenge once I’m doing my AMRAP sets and succumb to form failure just to get more reps.

Supersetted with 5x12 ab-wheel rollouts

B. Snatch-grip Deadlift (ss: Heels Elevated Goblet Squat 16 kg KB 4x15 - I can stay with that weight for one more session at least)
8@80
8@90
2x8@100

C. GHRs (ss: Back-extensions)
4xAMAP

Conditioning 5 rounds
10 Push Presses (40kg)
10 KB Swings (28kg)
10 Box Jumps.

I thought this was an EMOM thing for 20 minutes, and I figured I’d half it given that I felt a bit worse for wear, but I couldn’t finish a round in less than a minute.

Therefore, I aimed to do it every other minute (and did).

When I came home and revisited the source material it turns out it is supposed to be as many times as possible within 20 minutes. That makes more sense.
