After my buffoonery of last weekend, I made a very strong effort today to NOT do anything in the manner of a buffalo of minimal intelligence. My smarts won out over my stupidity, at least for today (which was an active work of willpower the whole time). This is a good thing as I really need to let my knee heal up so I can do fun things like learn how to toss a caber and not so fun things like discover the bicep-tearing stupidity of using a plate loadable atlas stone without tacky.
Log C&P (clean once, NO JERKS)
complex x 90
complex x 140
5x180
0x230 - Cleaned it fine, but then my knee felt wonky so I put it back down. This is probably too big of a jump while I am healing up.
2x5x180
3x230 - As I thought, I needed more warming up both muscularly and neurologically to do this. At least I didn't jack my knee up again.
Car DL Sim
10x200
8x400
5x490
5x580
3x670
These were done with a pause at the bottom instead of touch and go since I don't know how the increasing weight will work at MD Strongest in November, but I imagine there will be a pause of some sort. It could be at the top instead of the bottom though. Or the idea could get scrapped due to the logistics of standardizing it for all 100+ athletes.
Farmer's Walk
2x50' x 110
3x50' x 200
50' x 250
All sets felt good, but I did notice more caution on my part during the last run so I stopped here.
