CONDITIONING

Lapping an unloaded stone of steel 30 times in 4 min 5 seconds

Notes: 3:45 between heavy pulls, 2:00 between giant sets.  REALLY wanted a triple at 700, but went too quick between rep 2 and 3 and got out of position.  Went for redemption with the 605.  Wanted 10, then I went to go pull it and thought to myself "I don't have it in me to break it off the floor" when I went for the initial pull, and then it went up way easier than it had a right to so I chased after it.  Was a nice way to cap the max effort work.  Giant set was far more exhausting than usual as a result.  I do wanna start throwing in some good mornings soon, but since I was going to hit the stone for conditioning I decided to let that be enough.

At first, I thought just lapping an unloaded stone wouldn't be enough, but doing it at the end made it work out just perfect.  I was torched when it was over.

Woke up at 182.6 this morning.  That's just a .2lb loss from my light day last week, but given I ate an extra meal a day for 4 of those days to include going out to Red Lobster on Friday, it's a fantastic trend.  Was completely carb depleted this morning: peeled abs again.  Seems the trend is that I dry out on the weekends since I'm not training and carbs are low, then I build back up for 3 days and then repeat.  It's working well enough.

Only have to work 5 days in a row this week, so that's pretty cool.
