Thank you!
Also, part 1 of the little commercial I got to be part of. Not much to it yet, but there will be more.

This looks cool. I am still afraid of weighted crab walks, thoughgrouchyjarhead wrote:Thank you!

Re: Grouchyjarhead Training
They are not fun. I have a bit of a technique to it now so they're not as bad, but throwing the pack right on your front and doing crab walks is tough as it tends to choke you out as you're going. I had to bite down on the bottom of my ruck to breathe, and ended up tearing my lip in the process. Now I sling both straps over one shoulder so it sits at more of a diagonal and it's much more efficient.

6 mile ruck with 45#, 1:41.
Then did a deck of cards workout with 45#. Burpees, strict presses, goblet squats, four count flutterkicks. Total time 1:07, 85 reps of each.
Ouch.

Max strength session. Pull-ups, dips, goblet squats, two handed swings. Felt pain in my left elbow during one rep of dips, I think my hand placement was off as when I fixed it, it was better. Still - I need to be mindful of that. If it happens again, we might need a different upper body movement.

My problem with dips that i get carried away and go too deep without minding shoulders... Dips can be very tricky..grouchyjarhead wrote:20180306:

I've found ring dips oh so much more forgiving on my shoulders and elbows.Barkadion wrote:My problem with dips that i get carried away and go too deep without minding shoulders... Dips can be very tricky..grouchyjarhead wrote:20180306:
