Today is a strength day. Use it to concentrate on your form and technique. If you have extra time, do some mobility. Or practice a skill. Just give your cardio a break.

Thanks for the push everyone.
Gabriel
Excellent work Jack! Made that 215 look easy!
Trent
Your form from #95 to #215 was very consistent and smooth. I think you had more in you than #215 if we didn’t ran out of time. Nice work Jack.
Jack
I think I might have had another 5# in me but that 215 made me feel a little woozy.
Blake
That’s pretty wicked Jack! Nice work!

WOW Jack! Huge weight going up there! Well done 🙂

Wish I could have tried again, but I felt a little kink in the neck on that last one. Injured wrist was more of an issue on the light sets but not some much at the end.

What an awesome workout today 😀 They were a lot more fun than I expected, once I got used to the front squat with full grip (instead of just two fingers)! I started out way too light, I’ll know better for next time.
5# under my 1RM for 2 reps, not bad. But the 1RM still stands. Some other day…
Good job everyone!!

Thanks to both Kevin and Patrick for the coaching today, and to everyone at CFM – you guys make working out while injured fun, safe, and less embarrassing than I would’ve imagined.
Thank you all for your support!
