Body Action System boxing workout for 10 minutes
20 seconds on/10 seconds off

Notes: 90 seconds rest between all giant sets.  The groin/psoas/whatever it is continues to improve, but is not 100%.  I could do standing ab wheel, just not quite to full extension.  The topset on my strict press was hard fought but not full potential.  It's honestly like introducing instability training because I can't get my core fully braced under the load.  Being able to hit 246 under those conditions is awesome, because along with being about 15lbs lighter than my most recent PR work on the axle, anything above 240lbs eluding me for YEARS, so now I can hit it at my absolute worst.

Had to clean the log VERY slowly, or as I refer to it "totally normal log clean".  Getting it into my lap ached pretty good the first time, so after that I just brute forced it into place.  Once again, super unstable at the top. 

Wife went in to work for the day, so I added 5 minutes to the assistance work.

Watched some boxing on ESPN yesterday and saw a combo I liked from one fighter: rear body uppercut to rear head uppercut to lead head hook.  Basically, make the fighter drop their head with the body uppercut, then pop the head up with the head uppercut and then knock it sideways with the hook.  Very viscous.  In retrospect, I realize I've seen Tyson land that same combo before.
