Played around with front and back-rack for the box squats each set. Back-rack felt better on hip and knee compared to front-rack. Kept squats light and controlled across each set. Starting to gain confidence in squatting again, which feels like a big step.

Knee started to bother me during the OH squats. I don't know if it was from the tempo, volume, or a combination of both... Kept the load light and controlled across each set. Didn't squat below parallel.

Figured you wanted me to use the same load for the HPC and jerk. Tried pushing on this one, but not past the point where I was losing focus on positioning and technique. Split time was consistent across. Broke up the reps on the bar (6UB, 3/3, 3/3, 3/1/1/1, 3/1/1/1) just to stay moving.

Pressing strength felt weak on the last set. Just kept getting stuck in the middle. Tried multiple times and failed :(

HS walk was on point. Went 90' down and 60' back. Did 90' UB each set and broke up the 60' in two sets to finish each set. Shoulders were gassed after this!

L-hold to V is really difficult for me to do for multiple reps. Hip flexors and midline endurance must need work or something. I did a seated hold to V each set and focused on pulling feet up as high as I could.
