B: 11min – subbed 5 kb swings @32kg

The internal rotation works wonders on deadlifts. I find it much easier to create that torque on the way down as the hamstrings are already fully engaged, now I need to perfect it on the way up.
Also no more touch and go’s, all deadlifts done from a dead stop

So glad that you are having success with internal rotation! It will take some time and I think starting from a dead stop on the floor is a great idea until you feel confident with the lift!

It wasn’t too bad at all 🙂 the extra 2xweekly conditioning has been paying off…now to get my eating back in check, I feel so sluggish and bloated 🙁 One more weekend away, and life should be a little more routine.

Pretty cool! Are you wearing a FItBit? Does this graph include your warm-up time?
