Yesterday I learned that our community might need some more work on lunging with weight in the front-racked position. :) When you can’t breathe, things feel difficult. You should have learned that you weren’t alone, most of the athletes were destroyed by that portion. Also note that this is a pretty typical time for athletes to feel exhausted in a new cycle. We changed the programming focus and your bodies need time to adapt. Back off as needed, but also understand that you will adapt and be much better prepared for the Open once you do. I could have kept the programming consistent and you would feel great on it…but you probably wouldn’t feel so great in the midst of the Open. “The more you sweat in training, the less you bleed in combat.” – Richard Marcinko
