Notes: This was a great workout.  Knee played real nice.  I think the more frequent squatting and the inclusion of front squatting went a long way.  That topset of chain suspended squats is like a liver punch.  I'll rack the weight, feel fine, walk away, and then it'll suddenly all hit me at once.  I at least know to expect it now, but it's still pretty crazy.  The keg bear hug carries are moving in a good way.  I threw plates on top of the keg and secured them down with the weighted vest.  I think I'll move up to the 182lb keg next and maybe throw some chains on it, and then eventually work up to the sandbag.  I'd like to use the yoke, but it may be a little too loud and too long a set-up for morning workouts.  Might make it to events day stuff.

Lot less popping in the left knee on the set of squats at the end.  Most likely a good sign.
Woke up at 194.0.

PM WORKOUT

Treadmill run
Incline: 1
Speed: 7.0
Distance: 1 mile w/21lb vest, .5 miles without
Time: 12:52

Notes: Trying to get used to running with the vest on.  Did not secure it well and had it flopping around for that first mile, and had to shed it to get through the rest.  Fatigue sneaks up on you.  Going to try for the full run with the vest next time, and increase speed from there.
