Performance WO #10 - Vertical Force

First lift since the SI joint pop. Everything good. I did less weight with more reps. Substituted deadlift for squat so I could do what caused the SI joint initially. 135 easy and 15 reps was fine. Definitely feel more confident doing that. Will continue to do hamstring and piriformis stretching.

I also tried out a new form of calf raises. I heard a podcast which described how to do a barbell calf raise single-leg. You prop your non-lifting leg onto a bench in front of you. It worked great! I was able to load up as much as I want on only single leg calf raises. I was curious if my bench leg was contributing, so I tried lifting the bar with that leg while keeping my other leg quiet. I could not get the bar to budge with the way I had my leg on the bench. So I feel confident that it was just my one leg doing the lifting.

Everything else good. Was slightly cautious with landmines, going 5lbs down. Went up to 45 lbs for suitcase carry and that was fine. Will probably try 50 next time.
