CONDITIONING

150lb keg carry

360'

2x144'

20 minute weighted vest walk with dogs

Notes: 90 second rests between giant sets and conditioning.  Lower back was still pretty stiff coming into this, but I was pretty shocked with the drop off on the topset of mat pulls.  Most likely just pushing myself too hard.  I'm also stupidly carb depleted by the time I get to this workout in the week: was feeling dead.  I carb up beforehand and am eating post workout carbs, but I may need to play with post workout carbs in the meal of the workout BEFORE this one to make sure I am good to go.  Something to experiment with.

Made up for it with an extra rest pause.  I kinda liked that idea.  I was hitting those triples without too much issue.  May be the way forward.

Original plan for conditioning was stupid high power cleans, but it dawned on me that keg carries like this would be more time under tension.  Still room for cleans later, but I really like this approach to stuff.

Noticed my shoulder was clicking during my morning chins but not during chins in the workout.  Must just be a warm up the joints thing.
