Recruited someone to do this with me that is way better then me on rowing and deadlifts. I had one goal and it was to minimize rest and transition during deadlifts, I did good for the first 3rd but then grip became and issue and then I felt some lat fatigue. Then it got in my head. I did not see those feelings coming or else I would’ve mentally prepared for them a little better. My plan was to do small sets and have a coordinated short rest. 2nd time on the rower might have been one of the worst feelings of rowing every (I have never rowed anything over the hour of power so I can’t speak on the time in the seat that long) – grip and hamstring yuckiness. Finally after about 45sec in I started to feel like a normal human being I tried to push the pace to finish. Chris got off the rower about 40sec ahead of me, so I picked up my pace a little more. As soon as I got off hands on the bar within 5 seconds (I’m proud and getting better at that), and did my 2nd rep and then I took a little longer break. At that point, I positioned myself so I could see him out of the corner of my eye and my game plan was to do 4 reps for every 3 of his, I think I started getting close but I was grinding and fighting to do so, I faded around rep 19 and as much as I wanted to stay that pace I had a hard time. This was a great feeling though, to have to chase someone that is way better than me in these movements and I was comfortable getting uncomfortable trying to chase. I don’t care where my time stacked up in the big picture, I’m starting to sharpen some levels of pain that I have been missing and struggling to go to especially when it comes to weaknesses.
