HRV take it easy
Active rest day.
Worked on retaining wall and did some other hardscaping work. Put in about a mile of loaded carries in doing so.
Last set of hooked

Last set strapped. I don't like straps they mess with the set up but they save the thumbs with volume.

Bwt 218.4
HRV go for it
Knocked out the light bench work for the day at lunch. I will hit squats later
Bench press
45x10,95x5,135x3,185x1
210x2x5
Second time around to these Acceleration reps and I am getting the hang of it. I was able to put a lot of tension stress on myself by having the intention of moving the bar as fast off my chest as possible.
As I Make my way through the program, doing it as Dr Hatfield intended I am understanding it a bit more. It doesn't look bad on paper, but the " concentric phases as fast as you can" 5 sets of 2 is not meant to be a real easy day if you actually look at it like this.
" I only have ten reps to get that bar to move as fast off my chest as possible." A tendo would be neat here, but the genuine intent is what seems to matter to produce the stress with such low reps and load.
I am confirmed for the September 25th Colorado Fall Open.

Tuesday 19 July
Part two
Squats 135x5,225x3,315x1,355x1 add belt and sleeves
397.5x4x5 sets. Tough today. Heat or fatigue was working me over. In the mid 90's.
Squat overload walkout and 10 second holds.
570x3
Tried some front squats and TKE's
Front squats 135x5,185x2/...Nu uh
I think I will focus on injury prevention.. I am getting plenty of volume And need to focus on health and completing all the work to come. Did some TKE's and called it good. Maybe the weather will cool or I will have to break down and go to the gym with AC completing all the workouts is important enough to think about it. . The volume and the weights keep going up for 20 more days.
I need to really shop for some better shoes and a USAPL approved belt. The holes are elongating anyway.
I'll be at the fall open to help out with something, probably reffing or spotting. Will be good to see you! Where's your current belt from?
Last set..
