I don't even no where to start its been so long since my last post. Life is great but my training has been in the suck hole due to some serious yard excavation labor. After doing some seriously functional movements such as shoveling, boulder moving, wheel barrow rolling, axe swinging, tree pushing, my low back and elbow have taken a toll for the worse. Its been a few days and my back feels better but the tendinitis in my right elbow is hellacious and holding my training up to Nth degree.

Since my last post, I've started a 8 week 20 squat repetition program where you find your 5 Rep Back Squat max and do 80% of that for 20 repetitions twice a week, and go up 5lbs each time. Right now I'm on my 3rd week and all is good since my tennis elbow isn't involved.

Week 3 - 20 Rep Back Squat

Completed - 150lbs


Wednesday WOD: NATE

AMRAP in 20 Minutes of:

2 Muscle Ups
4 Handstand Push Ups
8 KB Swings @70lbs

Total Rounds: 13
PR: 17

Overall: Felt great minus the elbow issues. There was a lot of discomfort in the dip position of the muscle up. I guess I'll be doing the R-rest I-ice C-compression E-elevation along with some hot and cold contrasts. Well its back to the grind.
