8/29/2020 Garage Workout Volume front squat + running + power jerk 5 min general warmup Front squat - 45/5, 135/3, 185/2, 215/1 EMOM 10 235/1x10 5 min PJ warmup Alternating PJ 190/5 on 1:00 + extra round at end 1/3 mi run on 3:00 d1-3 (1:53, 1:44, 1:37) Left shoulder was a little tweaky at the end of the power jerks. Probably will feel better by tomorrow, think my grip was a little wide and putting more strain on the rotator cuff.

Maybe last week coming right off taper I could have done it. But the water was warm, and I have lost that "invincible" training feeling when your taper hasn't quite worn off yet. I am back to normal, and therefore 1:10 provided me just the right effort level. I stayed in the low RED range, and averaged 1:05s on all the 100s @ 1:10. SHOUT OUT: Patrick Brundage, Kurt Dickson, and Stewart Carroll. They did it first :P
