First week of the new year and already two new PRs. downrangedata.substack.….

First, I did a new WoD that is just a great old man smoker. Nothing egregiously heavy, but sleds are great for you, with limited risk of injury. And heavy med ball cleans have a whole stability / core demand that’s great too. When it’s not as perfectly balanced as an Olympic bar, lifting encourages all sorts of complimentary stabilizer muscles to get in on the act. Just clean the ball over your shoulder, turn around, repeat.

Second, I got up to 26 in tabata BMUs (bar muscle ups). What’s a ‘tabata’? Come back Saturday to find out.
