Notes: All the assistance work for my deadlift day done first. Ideal plan is to finish this later this afternoon, if not then, tomorrow morning. Rest pause chins was a bit of an experiment I wanted to try: was curious if I’d get a bit more of a gnarly pump out of it. I kept the same grip through the rest pause sets and changed grips with each new set. It was ok: nothing earth shattering.

Rows continue to be solid.

For the swings, I stopped the swing on the way up to make the movement faster and more taxing on my conditioning, as much as I’m sure that upsets the KB purists.

Taking the kid out to Golden Corral for dinner tonight. I’m in an active campaign of forcing myself to eat more than I’m comfortable with and then NOT thinking about the fact that I did just that. Still shifting mental gears. It’s improving, but slow going.

PM WORKOUT (1500)

Texas deadlift bar deadlift (Touch and go)

5x135

5x5

Weighted dips 55

Notes: Was able to get the rest of the workout done this afternoon, which is a victory.  Got in my daily work as well, and dips and deads are a classic, awesome and brutal combo.  Highly recommend.  

Golden Corral was a semi-success.  Still not allowing myself to really throw down like I used to.  I may get more aggressive with my deadlift TM increase to motivate me to up the calories.
