Front squat
5x3 @ 225

Paused Front Squat
2 sets with 135, 2 sets with 185. Didn’t count reps just focused on staying strong in the hole

Top half front squat from pins + front rack hold
2 sets with 275, 2 sets with 315. Didn’t count reps again here, focused on exploding up then held a strong front rack for around 10 seconds each rep

Prowler
3x20m

Snatch technique with empty bar + GHD sit-ups

Edit: I had to dump the bar during my second set of front squats. First time for everything I guess. Didn’t think it was a big deal at the time, just re racked the bar and carried on. But I may have fucked up my wrist ever so slightly when it happened, I’ve got a stabbing sensation about half way up my forearm and into my thumb, and I found out the hard way it doesn’t bear weight very well when I tried to get up off the floor lol. Hopefully no big deal but just wanted to note it hear in case it turns into a problem down the road.

Push Press
4x3 @ 185

Football bar strict press
5x4 @ 135

Squat snatch technique x a couple reps with 95

Upper back pump work, face pulls, upright rows , straight arm Pulldowns x a bunch

Wrist was worse today. I’m thinking I’ll have to sub out the front squat and clean next week with Deadlifts and Zercher squats respectively. Pretty sure it’s just a bad sprain so hopefully giving it a bit of a break next week will mean it’ll be fine by the new year.

Might have had 255-260 but the gym was empty so no spotters, still a 20lbs PR.
