You must be feeling better Matty. Yesterday’s session looks like a full strength effort to me.

Thanks Dave, its getting there, Ive made a decision that during the off season I will try to get my OHP back up to respectability again, a 3 wheel OHP may not be possible any longer but I think I can back up to my max before the injury then take it from there. Next week I am going to go for a max rep to see where Im at.

Prowler Push
short and sweet- nice work
First time using a prowler in a long time, Like the fucking dolt that I am I loaded it up to 12 plates. pushed it 25 yards and almost fucking puked, Im a complete tool.
I am suching knee, low back and groin discomfort. Im still in a rut everything feels heavy.
Im trying to get extra lowerbody work in by using machines, I tried the hack squat, Im trying to find the sweet spot where my knees dont get irritated, Anytime I go full ROM on it I feel pain, right below the knee cap, if I go 70% down, its ok, so I am gonna keep it there as it really fried my quads bro.
Sounds like intense sled pushing.
Lol GV it sucked I’m gonna temper the loads next time

It’s been 2 years since I’ve attempted a strict OHP over 200 lbs. it felt better than I thought it would. Gives me hope that I can get back up to 250 and beyond.
My cleans seem to be improving, slowly the catch portion of the lift is looking less retarded
Great to see you making the improvement with the OHP. Isn’t is wonderful to know that persistence along with the knowledge we’ve garnered over the years can bring us back from injury. Strength is our passion and the iron beckons and we shall be strong.(I believe Conan the Barbarian would approve)
