Transition immediately to Tabata empty bar front squats for 8 rounds

Notes: Prowler was a no sale: lightning storms had me thinking that pushing a big metal object wasn't the smart play.  This was a great workout none the less.  With deadlifts tomorrow, I didn't want to go too heavy nor did I want to use so much volume that I came in crippled, so I kept the weight light and started the reps high but cut down by 2 while going up by 1.  Had just the effect I was looking for: lungs were on fire but legs weren't too blown up.  Very humid in the garage with those storms: lots of sweat.  For the Tabata work, I went with Dan John's recommendation of getting at least 8 per round, and that was a solid marker.  Ideally, I would have done belt squats for this, but getting this done before work I was in a bit of a time crunch and already had the rig set up for squats.  In retrospect, trap bar would have been the right compromise, but live and learn.

Belt was fitting ok today.  I'm sure I lost a little weight from travel, and I'm dehydrated.  Going to try to eat as well as I can on this shift to gear up for a good deadlift workout tomorrow.  Most likely do the squats the next day, maybe some prowler the day after, and then get after Deep Water soon after that.  My schedule is going to keep being crazy over the next 2 months, so it's just gonna be getting in what I can when I can.
