Hi all!!!

Small intro:
37 years old, 160lbs
SFL certified,
former USA (Metro) boxing boxer @ 135lbs and 147lbs (53-13-1),
FMS and USATF certified,
CSCS in the works,
Currently a marathoner 8 months yearly, the other 4-5 months powerlifter

Recent injuries:
About 6 months ago I tweaked my back on a conventional Deadlift @ 395lbs. I didn't think much about it until i tried to place my 5 month old daughter into her play pen and couldn't get back up. Spent a week curled up on the couch because that is all that elevated pain. Spent the last couple of months rehabbing and after a few months back to some values close to old numbers.

Program:
Currently using a blended program with a focus on running capacity, speed and creating an injury free year.

So today on the menu was the mini #TSC.
Deficit deadlifts, pullup and snatches. Here was the scheme:
Warmup
a1. 3x8 Cossack SQ
a2. 3x2+2 TGU

Snatches

3 x 5+5
Rest upto 5 min
Deficit Deadlift
3 x 5,3,1 (55%, 60%, 65%)
Rest upto 5 min
Pull Ups
1 x All out

I call this my mini TSC. All the TSC elements with some twists that differ from what we see in other plans.
My focus the next couple of months is a faster 5k times.

The mini TSC gives me all the elements that I need while adding in the mileage.
Power development, conditioning and the posterior chain strength needed to balance out all my running.

I decided to pull Deficits because on my last training block, I was tapped out at 385lbs. The slow % increase over the next couple of weeks should support my inability to break the floor. Used this tactic when I had to test out for my SFL and it worked quite nicely.

Day 2 coming next.
