With two jobs and two different sets of programming to complete you can imagine that I am a busy boy. The rest of week 2 went well, back and front squats without a lot of surprise other than a lot of soreness. Also I got one of the best compliments in a while. "You squat more than any other person I know" felt good to hear that. Finished the week out with some Clean and Jerk work, a day of Bear Complex where I hit 215 and just missed 235 and then three days in a row off to let the body get ready for week 3. Hit the ground running today, which also happens to be day 1 of a Whole 30. Should press was good, heavy single at 90% and then the EMOM of 2 reps and I did a strict pull up each minute. I'm working on strength in the shoulder still so that was a good way to get some in. Afterwards it was deadlift time. Heavy single at 420 shown here and the percentage sets had a set of 10 dips between them during the rest. I'm taking the advice of StrengthCamp on that one. Deadlifts and Dips was one of the combos that will help you get stronger faster. The WOD was only 9 minutes but it was rough. It's been mid 90's with 90% plus humidity. Made the short workout seem long. Can't wait to get the rest of the week done and then deload next week. I'm planning some fun lightweight skill things. Deadlift day will get Axle Deadlifts to mix things up. One more phase then it's TEST Time. Looking forward to some great numbers.
