Nice work Justin! Next time push the envelope a bit on those FS since you were getting 6 reps without failing and test yourself a bit. You know what they say, “if you don’t ask your body, the answer is always no.”

Thanks Bryce. Any pointers for box jumpovers? They are what slowed me down in the conditioning because I don’t yet feel comfortable jumping to a 24″ box laterally.

Yeah buddy! Pause FS are always nasty. They should be translating to a better receiving position in the clean =)

Have you tried the assault bike interval or 30 on, 30 off? Try that with the RPMs at 75+ during the on portion and 50rpms during the off portion. Keep us updated

Check this out if you haven’t seen it already: https://youtu.be/Un1PDhrU3h0.

Also try mobilizing the lats and triceps. The voodoo floss band works wonders for myself and many of the athletes. Also try getting the peanut or foam roller in the upper back for the thoracic extension. A slightly narrower grip may be helpful as well. Keep us updated on your progress

Will do.. Narrower grip? Didn’t think that would work since I am built more like a power lifter.. Larger upper body frame and lower body. I am buying some lifter shoes too to aid in a more upright position. Thanks for the advice
