Wanted to do one more round of the last rotation but I nearly blew chunks all over the floor, got really clammy and cold. It went away after sitting in the car for a few minutes.

Going to try and jog a little bit tonight, if not i’ll hit it first thing in the morning, my legs sure do need it.

Tonight was pure shit, was pulling with all the wrong muscles and had no focus, going through an emotional roller coaster right now. Wish me luck.

split stance cable presses/pulls, kneeling pallof presses and kettlebell swings to finish it off, going to go run later

Discovered that I have a hyper mobile segment somewhere between T 10-12, un coincidentally where I’ve been feeling very unstable especially on bench and when I don’t set up my deadlift the right way. I’m currently working my way through Stuart Mcgills Ultimate back fitness and performance so I’ll start working on getting that problem sorted out with lots of specialized core work. Bench tomorrow and I’ll have to use a slightly different setup, we’ll see how that goes.
