Conditioning

Today I went for a walk with my xvest (50lbs) on. I'm not sure of the distance, but me and the gf walked for a while. Dragging around 320lbs total isn't fun.

Today was an okay session. I'm still learning my suit and today wasn't the best day for that. My warm up really showed a big weakness though. I definitely have weak/untrained abs and back. 315 without the belt was difficult, but as soon as I put the belt on, it got a lot easier. I'll be throwing in heavy ab work every day. I feel that this definitely affects me under the maximal weights when I have my suit on. I did the curls and the flies in order to get the blood flowing in my arms/chest to help speed the healing of my right arm. I'm seeing a doctor on Thurs. and it should be fixed then. Keep moving forward...

Band traction for my right arm

Overall a good day. I pressed some decent weight and got it all to touch without much difficulty. I'm going to keep icing the arm and try to do some more curls so it can get stronger and better.

DE Squat

I did some dynamic hip warm up type movements and then moved right into it.

That's it. Speed was pretty good. Maybe I'll do some reverse band stuff next week. We'll see. Feeling pretty good at the moment and hoping to keep it going.
