Notes: Started with super sets of squat and press, followed by chin and press, then circuits of shrug-press-pull-press-shrug-press-pull.  1 minute rest between the chinning supersets, plate change rests otherwise.  Flew through this.  Viper pressing every single rep from the floor is money: just really transforms this into something awful.  Had the idea that, were I to ever do this again, I'd try something like getting 75 reps total in as few sets as possible to just make this a nightmare.  

Still dealing with the need to vomit during the widowmakers.  Could be a consequence of eating so close to training.  On that note, I had 4oz of grassfed organic new york strip steak with my breakfast this morning, which I think is the right move.  Cheat meal tonight at our favorite pizza place.  

Going to mow the lawn wearing my 80lb vest as one of my conditioning workouts in just a little bit, and see where the day goes from there.  Working 2 12s in a row over the weekend, and then my work trip followed right by another 12 the day I get back.  Tight schedule.

Did 50 minutes of yardwork wearing the 80lb vest, then did this at 1500

Modified it: going to call this the "Ladder Match".  Once I got to 10 thrusters, I started over again (get it?  It's a ladder!).  Got through that twice and was starting the first thruster on the third ladder when time ran out.  I like this approach more: less time spent gasping in between thrusters.
