Notes: Blasted through this workout.  Started off with supersets of squats and log, then went to chins and log once I ran out of squats.  Then supersets of shrug-pull apart-shrug-face pull-shrug, then finished with the squats.  It was pretty much just plate change rests throughout.  Conditioning is through the roof and is making this a joke, but next week will be the test.  That widowmaker was just about right.  Bar was slipping too far down my back at the end.  You can actually see me shrug it to high bar somewhere in the mid 20s.  

Got some big eating slated for this weekend, which should put me in a good spot for the heaviest week.  Guts are feeling much better compared to yesterday.

PM WORKOUT (1300)

Incline treadmill walk w/80lb vest

3 mph

Notes: Started at a 6 and went up half a degree every 10 minutes, finishing at 7.5.  Just staying active.

Meant to comment earlier, but those vipers for every single rep on the presses are pretty legit.  I've really enjoyed taking my presses from the floor this training block. It adds a great element to the training.
