Sometimes the program calls for things I am uncomfortable with. Actually, a good program will test you and work on your weaknesses. However, every now and then a day is programmed right in your wheelhouse.
today was that day.
double unders and Handstand walks are good for me. I can do both well

any kind of burpee usually plays to my advantage

mix those movements into a workout and I’m usually pretty strong.
todays had a medium weight deadlift. I felt MUCH better after all the stretching that I have been doing with this lift. I was having nerve pain down my right leg and deadlifts made it worse. I knew that doing uneven deadlifts to accommodate this pain was not good but I had to do it to make it through certain workouts with deadlifts. The stretching has made that go away and I felt strong on both sides of my body today. I broke into 5/4 on the dead’s just to be safe but I could have moved faster.
the single DB burpee step over was a much more challenging movement than I expected and I had trouble moving quickly but got them done.
mall in all, great day. Feeling really good and ready for the Open
