Continued the pullup progression: 5+4+3+3+2

Also alternated Tae Kwon Do practice with snatches: 10+10+15+15 each side with 53 lb KB = 100 reps

Continuing knee rehabilitation work.

By the way, I (like most people) find the last part of the pullup to be the most difficult. There are different muscle groups involved in getting your chest to the bar. So, if something is difficult for me, THIS IS WHAT I SHOULD WORK ON! In the last set of the pullup progression, I hang a chain from my feet. This increases the difficulty as I near the top of the pullup.

Weekly Plan - Wednesday

Today, included some presses, pushups, and hanging leg raise work.

Clean & Press: 1+2+3 each side with 44 lb, 1+2+3 each side with 53 lb, 1+2+3 each side with 44 lb, 1+2+3 each side with 53 lb.
