Strong Rucking holds

Another good one and another ruck in my low top Salomon 3D X's. It seems to be the difference. I'm actually feeling kind of, well, fast! I'm challenging my lungs more than ever now and definitely not my calves. Crazy but the devil is in the details. That's what I'm always searching for anyway, that one thing that turns the corner all at once.

Like these damn shoes.

If this keeps up I might not buy the GoRuck MacV 1's.Well at least not pre order them ,lol.

24 kg speed swings, 16 min x 9 rpa, 105 lb strict press practice, walking lunges, wt pushups

Hard one. Tired today even though lots of rest and sleep yesterday. Hot as hell today too which never helps energy

24 kg Speed swings

288 reps
15,264 lbs tonnage

Mostly mental which made the physical that much tougher

Strict Press
45 x 5
65 x 3
95 x 3 ( new jump! easy with this new technique!)
105 x 3 x 10

fantastic. technique worked perfectly and I really got to practice and and play with the timing of the layback AND touch and go reps!
 Never ever been even able to do this before. Since this is a speed/dynamic day it might be perfect. we'll see but either way the groove was grooved!

No belt

Walking lunges
4 laps of 40 steps

also better than ever with my new ( left leg focus) technique during both steps. really giving the left leg the extra work it needs PLUS taking the added pressure off my right

Wt pushups
bw x 8
53 x 8 x 3

forgot about these the last couple weeks. not sure where to put them but I can't think of anywhere else

it was fine

Thinking about switching this day to

1) Press Practice
2) swing practice with alternating weights : 20. 24 and 28 for a set volume. Have to think this through more but the swing vo2 isn't working for Glenn and it might be time for a change anyway

192.5 Strict Press PR!,44 kg belt squat, floor pushups, combo laterals



What an amazing freaking day! A perfect press workout. Everything went right and nothing went wrong. Felt great, mind was strong. the new technique worked like a charm from the start, I was as calm as could be and unafraid!It's THESE days that I live for, keep working through the much for,  keep hoping aren't gone forever.
The FLOW. The Moment.
Mushin

The belt definitely helped but it wasn't the deciding factor, the technique change was

Strict Press
45 x 5
65 x 3
85 x 3
117 x 2
135 x 1 ( HUGE jump , went easy!)
150 x 1 very fast, groove was there, double layback technique,)
165 x 1 also fast and strong
180 x 1


this also went better than ever

190 x 1


192.5


this was an important hard rep. Not because the technique didn't hold, but because I didn't trust it, didn't commit to it completely. I knew that if I did 192.5 would fly. I had though about 195 but didn't want to get too greedy. I totally believe I would have made it.

HAVE TO TRUST the technique which is this:
regular setup into layback
Then, layback again THEN push the bar. IF I don't lay back first, and hard it looks like the 190. OR if I try to layback and push simultaneously I can miss out in front
Setup into initial arch (1st layback )
Them layback then push the bar
Then get under it at lockout.

172.5 x 3 PR
165 x 4 PR
155 x 5 ties PR

the technique held very well.

freaking psyched!

Fast Ruck and strong Ruck!





I cant' believe switching to the low top shoe has made all the difference but it seems to have. Today was magic. I almost felt like I could run with the pack. My legs started out loose and fast and stayed that way. Calves were never a problem and neither were my feet, even at the end. Can't believe it! But man am I happy. After yesterday's heat fest this morning was actually very cool and over cast, just like I prefer.
I did do a few squat stretched on the first two laps as I thought it would help and it did but on the third lap I stopped and did no more
 Legs stayed loose and fast
The picture above was from a gentleman I met in the park walking his dog early this year. He was  TV reporter from China as was amazed at the whole deal with my heavy pack, etc He wanted my pic to show his friends and today he was back with printed copies to show me! Very  nice guy
 I still can't get over just how great it felt to fly though the air rucking. really reminded me of my old trail running days. Perhaps I'm just finally getting into some kind of shape but I think the shoes made all the difference

45 lb ruck

40 kg One Arm Swings 10 x 10/10, 155 lb hacks, crawls, laterals



This was freaking hard. I felt fine, slept well, made weight etc. but it's just a whole bunch of heavy high rep work that always challenges me. Especially when it's just two of us and the pace is much faster.

But we got through it and speed and power were fine, but it was really hot today. First real hot day of the summer so it looks like it's time to really get in shape. There's no shape like being fit in the heat, but it always sucks

Strong,loose and fast ruck!



Finally a good one! I wore my Salomon 3d Pro's and man they felt great. I looked at them closely and realized that the lacing doesn't really start until the start of the toes. My 4d salomons start lower as do the Danner boots. The mid cut Salomon  are close to the 3 D's and the Magnums are right on the edge of the toes like today's 3 D's .

There is something to this

Anyway pretty fasted and hungry so I wanted to get it going and my gait felt light loose with easy turnover from the start

Feet felt perfect and I definitely had the sensation that my feet were really light in these shoes ( which they are- more trail running shoe than hiking boot) from the start

And, it finished like this with absolutely zero ball of foot or metatatsal soreness at all. !!!

Yes!
 Fast pace and all things good. Nice to work the HR and not have to work around foot and calf tightness or pain

24 kg speed swings 14 min 9 PRA,120 lb strict press,137 x 3. walking lunges, compound laterals



Good one today, all things considered.

24 kg speed swings
15:15 9 PRA
14 min
252 reps
13, 356 lbs tonnage
RPE 8

lots of mental distractions prior and, actually during, but physically felt pretty good

Strict press

107 x 3
117 x 3 x  5 sets
127 x 3 x 3 sets
137 x 3 x 1
127 x 3 x 1

The layback seems to be the most reliable trigger. Before I did the layback and finished in that position, as I didn't have mobility to get under the weight. It's not perfect but now I have way more so I can actually get under. But, timing is everything

Also, used the belt today. It felt ok. I alternated some sets with and without it and couldn't tell a lot of difference but there's no reason to believe it wouldn't help me get 200. I could live with that :)
I will use it Monday and see

Walking lunges
3 laps of 40
slow and deliberate. completely concentrating on JUST the left leg on each step has made all the difference. Right TFL and psoas are no longer locking tight and the flow is better. Plus getting more left leg work thats' needed

Left VMO is too small to my right. Time to make time for banded TKE's for high reps


Compound laterals
3 sets of 7/7 with 20's

190 lb Strict Press miss, 40kg belt squats, floor pushups, compound laterals

Felt strong but missed anyway today. Weird. Woke up yesterday with my right thumb out of joint and painful as hell. Wasn't too bad the start of the day but got worse as the day went on and had to work the crap out of the hand and forearm to try to unlock it. Not the best way to spend  fathers day but I had no choice.
It was the 40 kg goblet squat for sure and the radius of the lower arm and the scapoid bone of the wrist weren't sitting right and I couldn't even get down on the floor and place my palm flat against the floor.! Unacceptable so I worked on it it
Pulled out all my tricks, even voodoo flossed it ( which seemed to help)  but only when I taped my wrist with athletic tape did I realize it was mainly the radius that was twisted and not articulating correctly with the shapoid. Started stretching palms down as best I could ( as little weight) and externally rotating elbow pits and things started to mobilize, move around and things felt better

Slept with tape and woke up much better. Still required work all day today and I had no idea how the workout would go, especially since I was planning on taking 190!

So while I was tired and tweaked I also felt strangely mentally ready so I gave it a go. Warm-ups went deceivingly well and I actually thought I might make 190 after the THIRD try at 180!!

Strict press
45 x 5
65 x 3
85 x 2
120 x 2
135 x 1 strong!
150 x 1 even better

170 x 1 a bit out on front
180 x X out in front
180 x X same
180 x 1

190 x  X


190 x X not as good as above

I'm just driving with my triceps more than my front delts and the bar is going forward and not back enough. Given my still serious lack of full shoulder flexion it's not a  mystery why but I still think I can find a work around, lol

Never quit trying!

This went pretty well. calves still got tight despite wearing the mid top Salomons  and only carrying 45 lbs. Going through a weird phase it seems

But I didn't stop to squat and things loosened right up after the second lap! Still had to stop every now and then to just let HR come down and legs relax a bit but definitely better. fast pace overall

60 and 68 kg One Arm Swings, 40 kg Goblet squats,crawls, lateral combo



This went very well. I felt surprisingly strong today. Even my grip didn't give me much grief on either of the heavy bells and the height and transfer with the 60 kb were solid. Only the second workout ever with it but my instincts were right about this bell. It's the right size for my real overload day. Don't really need to do the 68 but I don't want to lose touch with it.
Still not ready to transfer, especially after 7 sets with the 60 but the three sets I did with it were solid

Got to remember to breathe more though, I almost passed out on the start of the second hand on the second set! Some serious freakin tension there!

45 lb ruck hot and fast



Summer is completely here and the ruck at 1 pm was at 88 deg but  I felt pretty good about it. Acceptance is the first key to heat tolerance training I think. The more you fight it the hotter it seems but I think I was just in a good mood.

Easy day just two clients, everyone else cancelled. Got new tires on the Mustang and did some things I rarely get to do during the week so when i got to the ruck I was actually eager to go.

I wore the Danner's with XOSKIN crew socks and made sure to lace the boots lightly. That seemed help.

I didn't time laps but I was moving and things felt pretty loose and fast. My lunges for a change were the bodypart being challenged

I did stop every couple laps as the fast pace was tightening my calves up but they released quickly. finished 10 min early too so I know it was fast

Last lap the right foot at mid sole started to ache a bit it felt like the pace not the mechanics but it's fine now

Good one

Good day today.Solid sleep, woke rested for a change. Was still overweight ( 171.4) so it meant a full intermittent fast today (almost perfect) and felt very good again doing that. As long as I caffeinate correctly

Decided to bump up the reps per arm to 9 ( thought about 10 but it was freakin hot today= 87 deg ) and thought best to ramp slowly

it was fine

the extra rep per set go the HR a bit higher than usual, but that was the goal. It worked. It sucked just a little at the end but other wise strong

85 x 3

good one too. got under the bar a bit more on the takeoff and that seemed to help make the bar/body connection more solid
ach back
then elbows up and squeeze the bar
press

also practiced NOT pushing forward for the lockout, and just staying back but guiding the bar overhead and that worked pretty well but in the video above I pushed forward under the bar more than I wanted to

still a good practice

walking lunges
3 laps of 40 steps
same as last week, focus on it like it's a left leg only movement and things felt very balanced. I was overweighting the right leg and that was getting it way too tight in the TFL

Strict Press 180x1, 187.5 x X, 48 kg belt squat, floor pushups, combo laterals

This was a tough one. I good one but a tough one. This freaking move is SO freakin delicate. The groove has to be SO precise that one little mistake and it's done. Almost impossible to save. Not like any other lift I've done. Crazy in it's precision requirements and so much to remember and control under the most intense pressure!

135 x 1 good

150 x 1 strong too
160 x 1 ok ten pound jumps
165 small jump 160 not that strong
170 better groove
180 x 1 big jump but not tight enough at start

185.5 x X SOOOO close


ALways remembering ONE thing but forgetting the other! I remembered to really lean back at start but forgot to re lift the elbows. well. I didn't forget as much as decided not to as I was leaning back so much and thought the elbows were high enough
They weren't, or, something else mechanically or elastically is going on but it wasn't good enough. I should have made this .
then
185.5 x X bad miss. No where near layed back enough at start. Too much on my arms at walkout and not enough on torso
172.5 x 1 ! shit
172.5 x 2  better layback and elbows!
165 x 3 strong!
155 x 5 Best! 

48 kg belt squats

No stop 45 lb ruck

Confused me this morning. Slept well, stretched out, did my 100 ups to warm-up, and lightened the ruck by 5 lbs to 45 total and still my left ankle ( this time) decided to tighten up making me slow up again, right from the start!
Relaced the boots ( idea was they were too tight at ankle juncture ( that helped a bit) but then I thought that perhaps it was the isometric squat stretches that I do each lap that had something to do with it.

Hell, I don't know but I haven't tried it so why not. My legs in general just were getting tighter as well as the feet. It shifts from right foot ( 3rd metatarsal to ball of great toe to left calf OR anterior tib, also on left! I'm sure the heavy work on Saturdays is at root cause but that's not going to change so I have to figure it out as is.

So on lap 5 I went straight through , and that seemed to loosen things up, then again on 7 and 8 and by now I was really loose and fast and was flying!  That's weird! But it felt great, much like I did on Thursday. It would be so nice to have my lungs and conditioning be the limiting point and not my calf tightness

I so remember being on 'autopilot' when I ran and sometimes when I cycled but I haven't felt that in so long rucking. This might be the right thing to do. I get plenty of human chair squatting these days and it's easy to come by if I want more

Stop breaking the rhythm and tightening things up every lap might help. Hope so. It's been a real drought for my rucking of late.

48 kg One Arm Swings 10 x 10 , 36 kg goblet squats, crawls, compound laterals



Solid workout but using the Push band really messes with my focus and concentration. I think I have the numbers I need; I'll be taking a break now from it for awhile.
One thing I did get from it: my dead stop swings ( the hike pass rep) REALLY generates the most power of all the reps!! That's interesting

Pavel said he estimated they required 30%+ more effort and it looks like they produce almost that much more in power than the reps of the set of reps.

One arm swings
16 kg x 5/5 x 2
20 kg x 5/5
24 kg x 5/5
28 kg x 4/4
32 kg x 4/4
36 kg x 4/4
40 kg x 4/4
48 kg x 10 x 10 one arm at a time
Not a bad output. Plus pretty consistent across all reps and sets

45 lb ruck fast and light!



I have NO idea why today was so good. None at all. Up at 3 to take Tracy to the airport I was groggy til about 10 am. But when I hit the park things just clicked. Legs felt light and fast and pace was very easy. Zero foot problems and I can't blame it on just using 45 lbs as that is my normal Thursday weight.

Just one of the moments when Grace lays it down in front of you and just have to pick it up and ruck with it. Wore the old Magnum combat boots again and XOSKIN crew socks and it worked perfectly. Just felt great

Just in time to remind me that I haven't lost my rucking mojo forever

185 Strict Press, 40 kg belt squats, floor pushups with PushBand, combo laterals



It was just a tough workout , but for no good reason. Slept really well. weight was perfect, hydrated, etc but mentally I did not have five seconds between work ( phone call on way home) and getting under the bar to concentrate and that hurt. But, just a bit. And I couldn't get my mind right even after we started.

But all in all I pressed some big numbers even though I could have done better

Strict Press
45 x 5
65 x 3
85 x 3
120 x 2
135 x 1
155 x 1 ( decent but not fast)
165 x 1 better
170 x 1 good
175 x 1 slow
180 x 1 ok
185 x 1 decent ( vid above)
187.5 x 0 just didnt set up well too vertical I now think but it got pretty high just not back enough
175 x  1.5  tri's shot
165 x 3 still
155 x 5 eh
150 x 5 SO EASY 
THIS is what I should have been doing all along I was just TOO VERTICAL  on my set ups! layback more than I think I should and lift my elbows more than I think I should. It absolutely HAS to happen!



187.5 miss



Realized also, that doing heavy wt pushups one day before this is not the best idea. SO weighted pushups now go on wednesday, after lunges
Crawls will take the place on saturday of pushups

slow ruck, again

This is getting old, this not feeling stronger, faster or easier on this two hour ruck. My calves were fine throughout ( did the 100 ups warm-up and made sure to lacrosse ball the plantar fascia prior to the ruck) and the right foot was fine til the last lap when the  area right behind the great toe started to get achy but mainly every step was heavy and tight!
Started very slowly too, on purpose but it never really got light. It was better from laps 5-9 then hard again. I changed gait a bit too locking out my knee into stance phase more like one does on an unloaded walk  and that worked good until til right peroneals started to tighten up

I actually took the pack off, used the concrete bench to rollout the peroneals and stretched hammy and calf and bit and it felt MUCH better but man, I've been so much stronger here!

I had to stop and shake it loose way too much in addition to the iso squats for stretching

Going to lighten the pack to 45 lbs next week and 40 lbs on Thursday and see if that helps. Then build back up

This ain't workin

50 lb Ruck

44 kg One Arm swing 10 x 8/8, hack squats, weighted pushups,combo laterals



Interesting session. Used the push bands and got some excellent and very interesting numbers

those are some VERY high watt outputs unless I'm missing something. I think doing both arms at the same time could have messed something up as their are too many "numbers" on the grid showing the averages

But the peak number is real for sure and that's HUGE.

This will certainly validate what I''ve been saying for years about virtual force. It's real :)  with barbells the key is the mass, the weight on the bar, for the kb ballistics it's the acceleration because that's what produces the real force numbers

not the easiest user interface but I have to learn to navigate it better,too.
