Notes: This was an awesome workout, and very much unexpected given the circumstances.  I keep digging deeper and finding more on that PR set each cycle.  Proof of concept for sure.  On the Kroc rows, I keep discovering more and more tweaks that make it "make sense".  This time I really focused on pulling my shoulder blades together at the top.  Made it extra gnarly.  Arm is really sore from vaccine.  ROM is restricted.

PM WORKOUT (2100)

100 six count burpees

6:27 (17 second PR)

Notes: Got through the first 55 without stopping. Perhaps my goal will be to eventually get through all 100 without pausing. It’s becoming a lung breaker, which is what I endeavor for. Always fascinating how, the better you get at this stuff, the more it sucks. Running is similar: you get faster at running, so runs don’t last as long, but they suck more while you do them.

My nutrition continues to be confusing as f**k with all the schedule changes. Having the “thou shalts” has been helpful at least. I’m getting in my eggs, beef, butter, avocado and macadamia nuts every day.
