Positively pulling
Been avoiding pulling work since I strained a finger tendon a few weeks back, went in to test it out this morning with some deadlifts.
Warm-up:
jogging
dynamic squat stretching
7x2 deadlift (135, 185, 225, 245, 265, 285, 305)
Every minute on the minute for 10 min (95):
1 power clean
1 shoulder press
1 push press
1 push jerk
Pulled with hook grip to decrease the load on my ring finger, and kept the weights relatively light. Felt decent, but haven't pulled for a while and not quite completely comfortable. Think my form was fine, kept the weight back on my heels and a decent lumbar curve throughout; hook grip still kills my thumbs, though.
Shoulder-centric metcon was good but needs a little tweaking, HR was barely elevated at the end. Would increase the load to 105 next time (press limited, likely). Probably add in an additional pp/jerk or two as well.

Nice to see the (ring) finger's back in action (on the day of the royal wedding).
