CONDITIONING

4:50

Notes: 90 seconds rest between supersets.  The touch and go deads really worked me over the other day: been long removed from that style of training.  Upper back/traps were lit up and fatigue was high, so I upped the weight on the workout so I didn't have any expectations to live up to and just went for new reps.  This went well: Devil's Set (666).  I'm squatting deeper these days from all the mobility work, so that's cool.

Belt squat is figured out pretty well.  Based off comments on the video, some folks are a bit confused, but I'm not doing this as a new squat variant but more as a leg press substitute. I just want something that focuses on the quads, so a shorter ROM and some forward lean seems to be doing the trick.

Conditioning moved well. Glad to get back to it.

Working nights this week, so schedule will be screwy.  Going to try to get my pressing workout in tomorrow morning.

In nutrition news, I may be moving away from Fairlife this week.  All the great pumpkin spice flavored stuff is in stores, to include the "Light n Fit Pumpkin Spice yogurt".  I did a 1 for 1 comparison with the Fairlife, and for 80 calories worth I'm trading 1 gram of carbs and 1 gram of protein, so I took the milk out of my post workout shake, mixed together egg whites and yogurt, and it was amazing.  For pre-workout meal, I cut the milk out of the cereal and just mixed it with egg whites and it worked really well, and left more room for my rice crispie treats.

I may actually make "egg whites and yogurt" a more permanent thing when this is all done, since I get more protein and fewer carbs out of the yogurt traditionally.  Really just digging how much the egg whites fit wherever I need.
