BREAKFAST

5 round circuit of
10 dips
4 standing ab wheel
10 reverse hypers

Notes: 90 seconds rest between giant sets.  Resting long enough to change plates on the main sets.  Dog got me up early and I decided to see if I could squeeze in my workout before the wife got up.  It worked.  It's nice to have workouts that aren't the 90 minute epics I'd been doing, although I plan to still get in some conditioning a bit later, especially since I'll be starting night shifts today.  Didn't blackout on the press, which is the biggest victory.  I think staying away from PR sets will be good for me in that regard.  I can take things a little slower.  This was another proof of concept day: I did the heaviest week for the 5s pro and then tested out the BBB week, and they're both just about perfect, so this will be the TM I use.

I like that rest pause mechanical advantage dropset.  Seems to work well.
