Todays Mish Mash

Was well up for a good training session today - planned in hitting some good deadlifts and conditioning.

Deadlift - eact followed by 20* 18" Box Jumps
Bar * 20
60kg * 10 * 2
110*5
130 * 5
150 * 5
170 * 3
190 * 1 couldnt move it due to knee pain when sinking hips - deadlifts aborted.

Kettlebell Snatch - 20kg Bell
20 each arm * 3 sets

Suspension Atomic Push Ups/Bulgarian Bag Spins 17kg
10 Push Ups
10 Spins each way
10 Push Ups
10 Spins each way

Rest 90 seconds, repeat 3 times.

Not a great session today. Knee injury from a few weeks back is still at large, pain when dropping the hips and about to push and extend the thigh. Its not muscular, feels bone/connective tissue based.

The 170*3 was much harder than it should have been given the week off I have had. 2nd Injury of the year and starting to question my longevity in competitive powerlifting.

I have a yearning to leave it behind and perhaps try a Kettlebell Sport Comp. Been really feeling motivated by more muscular endurance/power/conditioning work recently and am contemplating breaking away from something that has been part of my identify for a good few years now..........I will mull further.

The atomic push ups/heavy bag spin combo was an absolute killer.........especially the grip.

Resting now until saturday when I will be doing some kind of swings in some kind of fashion....
