These felt good, very limited rest. Felt pretty strong on these.

GHRs
BW x 12
mini band x 3 x 10

Neutral Pulldowns
115x3x20
Really just needed to stretch my upper back.

Good workout, felt a little tired still from saturday. Tomorrow I have to work late, but I am also starting later. I am thinking of experimenting with a training session in the morning. It will be a quick session. Just about 30 minutes or so of some light hang cleans, some abs, and maybe pullups or curls.

I think it will be a good experiment. On weeks where I am feeling tired, I can skip Wednesday workouts. I am gonna see how I feel in the morning. If I wake up and feel really sore, I will skip it. If I feel good I will crush for 30 minutes. When the weather gets warmer, I will utilize morning workouts, for sled work and sprints. It is too wet and cold now for that.

Good luck with the morning workouts. I keep wanting to start them myself.

Yes, I have much respect for guys that can do anything in the morning, much less exercise. Sled pulling on a cold rainy morning sounds delightful.

Quick Morning Workout today
this was rough, wednesday I have to work a later shift at work, just an hour later. But it is tough to train at night when you get home at 7 and are starving. I will see how morning workouts go. Here is what I did for about 30 mins or so

Circuit Style
Hang Cleans
3x5
1x8

Sit Ups
BW x 4 x 15

Pull Ups
2 x 8
1x12
1x10

Jump Squats very light
95 x 3 x5

This was a pretty good workout. My lower back is feeling very fatigued right now. I need to allow it to recover over the next few days. I think the fatigue is due to too much heavy pulling and getting lazy on my form. I am letting my hips get too high on sumos and my squat form just needs some tweaks right now.

Next week I will get everything straightned out and plan on crushing it.

You feeling like you are getting sloppy on deads, cleans or both?

cleans are fine, I do not really worry about them too much

Dead form is a little sloppy, I have to make sure I keep the bar tight to my thighs the whole way up. Just a slight set issue when I get lazy.

Squats I am doing the same thing I was doing previously, I try to keep my upper body too erect, this makes me go forward a little. It seems to bother my back and causes a bad bar path. I need to make sure the bar is traveling in a straight line.

Pretty good workout, very solid. Saturday is a huge workout for me. My squats have not felt very good lately and I hoping it will all come together on Saturday. I have to hit 385 for as many as possible. I am hoping for at least 8. But would more importantly like to hit good depth and form.

Good luck. That would be a rock solid number.

That would be a crazy good number.

I am very excited to do sets of 3, it has been far too long. Saturday I am going to take it easy on the heavy pulls. I will probably just do some sort of GM, or maybe RDLs, something along those lines.
