Notes: Shaved off some stuff to be able to get it all done before work.  Still pretty action packed.  The time limit forced me to keep rests short, which was a nice challenge.  The axle remains a brutal implement.  I actually rounded up 5lbs on the BBB sets so I could use 1 more set of bumpers to keep noise down while I trained.  Plan to get in the daily work and a run later today.

Yet again, I seem to be "coming alive" after the second set of BBB work.  Noticed that all through the past week.  Just an interesting observation.

PM WORKOUT (1500)

Just going to narrate this one.

I have an incline right by my house, so what I did was sprint up in, run into my garage, and I did a round of the following 5 times

8 reverse hypers
4 standing ab wheel
5 band pushdowns
20 face pulls

After 5 rounds of that, I did another 8 rounds of the sprint followed by some sort of kettlebell workout.  It went

10 2 arm swings
10 alternating arm snatches
10 alternating arm snatches
10 alternating arm swings where I caught the bell in midair to alternate
10 alternating snatches
10 alternating swings with the catches
10 snatches
A grab bag of snatches of and alternating arm swings

By that point, I had to get inside and start making dinner.  I like the skeleton of this workout, and I think there's something I can do with this, especially as the weather has gotten better.
