Didn’t see that coming.
Didn’t track yesterday, but don’t think I overate ![]()
This !
@I_Luc Thanks Mate… Thunderstruck when the shit gets heavy ![]()
Thanks Mark. I’m trying really hard to pull with more speed. I didn’t think it was faster… but maybe a bit faster… I’ll take it
And it was way “easier” than the single in februar ![]()
It’s faster because you’re starting to jump into the pull with hard bracing. So, you don’t leak energy by flexing your lower back. The next step is getting your hips lower so you can really jump.
I’ve learned from the master, pulling quite hard to get the slack out, brace even harder and then pull as fast as possible.

The paused OHP was probably a bit too short paused. I have to be more true to the program.

Really exited about this adventure.
Uh I’m not sure about the log title

Yeah, I gotta agree here. Perhaps “The Danish Darkhorse” instead? It rolls off the tongue a bit better and doesn’t make me picture you on top of Brian…
That is too funny…

Lol…thats what I pictured too!
