Notes: BtM is done.  Ran the workout as supersets of squats and press, then chin and press.  Then a circuit of shrug-pull-shrug-pull, then the widowmaker.  Plate change rests until topset of squats, then 90 seconds rest, then 90 seconds rests for the chin-press superset.  Still used touch and go style cleans for as much as I could.  My right patella has been bugging me for a few weeks and acted up on the second warm-up set of squats, and is feeling a little swollen at present, but it could still work through squats.  Just about biffed the re-rack of the widowmaker due to fatigue and low bar placement.

I am starving.  I finish my huge breakfast in the morning and I'm hungry by the time I go get my kid to school.  It's amazing having my appetite so tuned up, and it's only going to get more nuts for Deep Water.

PM WORKOUT 1 (1600)

Axle Grace

2:55

PM WORKOUT 2 (2100)

1 armed alternating KB snatches-burpees-pull ups (kipping permitted)

20-10-20

Time: 8:27

Notes: Once again, felt awful coming into Grace, felt awful DURING Grace, and then saw the time and was shocked. My baseline fitness is just insane at this point, and I could do some real damage if I ever come into this fresh.

I like this second workout I came up with. For the snatches, it was 20 total, so 10 per side, then 20 burpees, 20 chins, then 10s, then back to 20s. Little wave approach to it, got my heart rate up, and a full balance of movements.
