The 40 day program is almost finished. The lifts aren’t bad but sometimes it’s tough to get motivated to do the same lifts in every training session. I am almost there but I had a setback this week. I have been doing tons on work in the yard getting it ready for spring. I was edging my beds for a few hrs and my back got cranky. If you add that on top on some stone work it does a number on my back. It stunk, I was crooked for a bout 3 days and could not stand up straight until thursday night. After plenty of rest, foam rolling, mobility and light work I was able to get back into a groove. I only got 2 sessions in this week due to my back but I will be done in about 10 days or so….sweet.
Weird, I can pistol the 44k and it doesn’t hurt but edging plant beds in my yard smoked me. Kinda funny.

I have hit a 44k pistol, press and pull-up on this program with the goal being a 48k pistol, press and pull-up. I have learned a ton through this journey.
