Thanks but my meniscus has been torn since high school. I refuse to have surgery as long as I can function. I think it’s just sick of making up for my lazy left quad tendon!

Strength session this afternoon, tonight I did
B. 10:08 Rx
Ran on treadmill, felt slow and sluggish. Cossacks were ugly but got better with time. Those and T2B UB
Finished off with some seated (band) strict ring muscle up transitions: 8-6-5-6. Finally using my smallest band! Very happy since it means the strict ring muscle up is in sight
Looking forward to resting tomorrow
Have a great night everyone!

Evening Session: A) EMOM 5′: 3 snatch pulls. In kgs: 60, 65, 70, 75. B) OT2M x 5: 1 power snatch + 1 hang power snatch + 1 snatch balance + 1 OHS with 45 kgs. I just felt like doing some strength work for the snatch, it was good doing those pulls above my 1 RM to grease the movement for upcoming lifts. C) Gymnastics S2L1. I was doing a lot of ring work which I’ve neglected in these last few months, still ways to go to get a good handle. Tomorrow is single session day, but it’s pistols… Read more »

A. Back Squat: 225/275/285/300 x 8 each set

So last week I made the devastating mistake of going too hard too fast and got a bad case of the DOMS that had me out a few days. Wasn’t going to make the same mistake twice so I did something different that would put less stress on my quads.

B. Five rounds for time:
— 50 DUs
— 10 T2B
Time: 6’55”

Has the yoga helped with mobility/flexibility? I think yoga would be great.

I was a little surprised myself, but it was super cold and I was wearing gloves which helped a lot
