CONDITIONING

Lapping an unloaded (135lb) stone of steel for 30 reps

3min 10 seconds

Notes: 3:45 between heavy pulls, 2:00 between giant sets.  Was all set to pull my 635 set and then got a phone call I had been waiting on that then required me to call the Mrs that then had her ask "Are you angry with me?" because I was calling her in the middle of a deadlift workout and was trying to quickly get to the point so I didn't lose my headspace. Suffice it to say, that got borked and I went for the pull and whiffed, so settled with a heavy triple.  It was at least a max effort triple.

Stones went much better.  Little practice went a long way.

May stick with using my phone for future recordings.  I don't like getting it covered with chalk, but it's easier to upload and edit videos.  I got a cheap tripod that clips onto things, so I can grab some better angles.

Weighed in at 181.2 this morning.  I'm officially at a new weight class, the lightest I've been in a LONG time, and pretty much at 30lbs lost since Mar.  Rather eye opening I had 30lbs to lose, and could technically STILL drop some more.  I'm not liking struggling with weights I used to easily move, but when I factor that I shaved off around 15% of my bodyweight things make more sense.  

Also worth noting that this weigh in happens after my cheat DAY on the Mrs birthday, so that's pretty cool.  I'm gradually upping my calories on my pre-workout meals on these heavier days to see if it has any impact and so far weight is still falling, so I'm going to keep that up.
