Not going as deep on hip thrusts seems to help with form, and not feeling like I'm pulling something in my abdomen, I think I was hyper-extending before.

Good session here, really loving the head supported rows, may rotate back to pullups from chinups soon.

July 28, 2020 Sprinting / Broad Jumps

I'm so happy to be doing broad jumps again, I only did them once in 2019 for some reason, no clue why. Great way to finish off a workout and work on something that has pretty good technical requirements to work on too. I'm carrying a couple less pounds of fat this cut, as I noted before, and I can feel the difference. It may not sound like a lot, but if I was 194 at 9.5% last year, and I'm ~192 right now at 8% that takes me from 18.4 lbs of fat last year to 15.5 this year. So the amount of fat weight is down like 16%.

We went to the beach earlier so this was a quick session. Tons of reps still on hanging power snatches. Adding weight gradually on split jerks, want to keep working on that.

July 25, 2020 Sprinting / Broad Jumping

I managed to dodge the sand wasps that were in the sand pit and got some broad jumping in. I think being on the lower-range of weight that I typically cut to (thanks to the fasted incline walking, and the lowest bf % I've ever been at) really helped here. Most of these jumps are above the 90th percentile for me personally.

Good session, nothing out of the ordinary....I started doing hip thrusts with less depth at the bottom and I think they actually work better, maybe I was hyper-extending my back before, but this felt way more centered on my hamstrings and posterior chain without pulling any muscles, or feeling like I was going to.
