Comments:

Thoughts to take away: strength is a skill. I haven’t been focusing on squatting as consistently as before and it’s definitely took its toll. I hate that but it makes me realize that I need to be incorporating it more. Happy with the cleans, didn’t think I’d get 225 for a double.

10 400’s is absolutely the worst. Did the first two with a 1-1 rest time and quickly realized that I wasn’t able to keep the pace so switched it to 2:30 seconds. Still brutal and still didn’t make the times…
Surprised to see 405 go up. Glad I got that before the end of the year…

Comments:

These damn shin splints are coming back so once again I will have to stop running. It’s really REALLY aggravating. I thought my hip was feeling better but as soon as I started I could feel the pressure on my right hip flexor begin to rise. 275 felt like a truck and it didn’t feel good on my hip flexor so I called it and decided to let it rest so I can come back another day.
