How Is the New Training Going?

Quite well, actually.  I have an easier time recovering and the work capacity work (yes, that is right) makes me feel healthier, even through the higher intensities.  Today's training broke down like this

FRONT SQUAT
Bar x10
135x10
185x5
225x3
270x3
285x3
300x3
These felt good, but I always have to rerack the last rep on my highest % set.  Probably form breaking down.

DEADLIFT
5x10 with 315(60% of 1RM).
 I switched up stances with each set, so I did 2 sumo and 3 conventional.  These sets showed me how low my work capacity is.  These took too long to recover from and I ended up pulling 5 or 6 reps in a row and the rest were doubles and singles with 3-5 breaths between to finish the sets.

JUMP PULLUPS
I was supposed to do 5x10 here, but my grip was so fried from the deads that I only made it through one sets and had to call it quits.

BLAST STRAPS ROWS
4x12
Nothing special here

EXPLOSIVE WOODCHOPS
8x3 unidirectional to compliments throwing

THROWING DRILLS
Line Drills
Shot Put Drills and Throws

All in all it was a great day of training.  I have been going M, T, R, F, but I missed Monday because I felt like garbage.  The night before I was a little too sore for my liking so I took a contrast shower, and did some SMR while in there.  I think that it released a lot of toxins, much like a too deep massage, so I had to listen to my body and call it quits.  Now I'm rested up and back.  Tomorrow is conditioning day, so I'll push Dynamic Bench and Hang Cleans back to Friday and Saturday.
