tttTD (KB OHWL/DL/T2B that you missed when on-site)
2 rounds even – I had zero mental toughness today. I had mentally prepared that the lunges were going to be my biggest obstacle. And the first round wasn’t as bad as I predicted. However the deadlift took the longest and I had the hardest time mentally hanging on for high reps. My goal was to have really quick transitions and I succeeded there but where I was mentally weak was my breaks during the middle of those sets. On the second round of lunges I could feel myself overextending at my low back to try and create a better position overhead. I also could feel my left elbow wanting to bend. I fought it pretty hard but towards the end of each round it became a bigger and bigger fight. I fought to hang on for a big set to finish the second round of TTB but not enough time to really dig in and try and get a set of lunges in. Just wasn’t mentally prepared to put up a big fight today.

Done – holy cow, the sorenson hold made my hammies shake like never before. I really really tried hard to make sure that I did not feed into my pelvic tilt.
