Chronicles of Becoming a Man

12/9/2022 Maximorium Beta Test
Week 4 Day 4

OS resets
16kg windmill

2x28kg
NL: 51

Bar hangs
Hip Flexor stretch
90/90

I wasn't able to progress my numbers from last Friday and my weekly volume only increased my 3NL total. the rungs of 5 were a bit of a grind today, and they shouldn't have been. There was decreased tension on the left side for some reason. I worked on maximizing tension with grip, abs, gluts and quads.

Based on how I've been feeling and watching my form on the videos, I'm considering dropping the snatches to 28kg starting next week, or at least use the 28kg for the higher rungs.

Your numbers are impressive. Remember that this (4) is like a cutback/deload week in the program so your numbers will not be as big of jumps. I think your doing great and you should stick it out!

Thanks for the encouragement!

I think that's what I will ultimately decide to do come Monday for the reasons you listed. Also, I would be doing Geoff a disservice to change up the beta progress now.

I guess it’s not as much cutback as i thought, seems like a cutback for snatches but not so much with the grinds. Those were tough ladders you did today.

I put the brakes on a little bit. between travelling 3 hours to and 3 hours from an NFL game, and getting home late, I woke up needing an easier session today.
