I realized that the HIC load I had planned was far, far too much. I dialed it back to two HIC sessions per week, then realized that I may as well get the volume from operator if I'm doing that. So, I re-did my plan, and restarted block 2.

4/16/2020 Block 2, Week 1 Zulu/Black:Professional Deadlift: 175 x 1 x 5 Scapular Pulls: 2 x 5 600m resets x 4 Finisher: Hollow-body hold x 1 minute Testing the waters on the scapular pulls.

Block 1, week 7
GSLP/Black
HIC

Hill Sprints x 4
