1RM Press: 155

1RM Deadlift: 385, belted (10# PR)

New CFT of 825, up from 780. I’m spending the next few months dialing in my squat. Using too much of my quads and hipflexors. No hams or glutes getting utilized. Wrong answer. Gotta tweak. Happy about the dead, two weeks after a serious injury.

7/31: Rest day, cleaned the gym.

7/19: Drugs, ice, and rest. Chiro x2

7/20: Drugs, ice, rest. Chiro

7/21: More rest, less drugs. Chiro

7/22: First day back, a Cindy prep. 2 Rounds of: 3x 5 pull-ups/10 pushups/15 squats, rest 1 min in between. Finished in 4 something. It was a 4 round WOD, but called it after 2 due to the lower back.

7/23: Back was feeling better so I knocked out Death By Clean & Jerk. 1 rep @ 135 the first minute, 2 the second, 3 the third … until you can’t complete the work in the given time. PR’d and felt good throughout. 8 Rounds + 7 reps. 43 total reps.
