Notes: Training was legit the last thing I wanted to do today.  Just hitting the burn out hard, most likely from stress from the weekend.  Convinced myself to go heavy, so it'd be shorter, and hit that PR so that I started with a victory and wouldn't care after that.  Asterisk indicates sets where I had to rack the bar before completing the reps.  Usually a factor of bar roll, but sometimes legit just out of gas.  Starting off with a PR had me playing catch up through out.  Think my right shoulder is aching from the swings: primarily from STOPPING the bell.  Need to let it swing to a deadstop rather than try to force on the breaks.  Also felt a slight pull on my groin picking up the bell from the floor, so I need to watch for that with squats tomorrow.  I'm happy that I gave this my all and came away with a W.

Extra activity today will be loading some tree limbs into my truck and taking them to a dump site.  Need to start training carries again.

Weighed myself this morning post breakfast and came in at 189.8.  Been eating my face off and still not in the 190s.  The crazy thing is 190 was a weight I used to CUT down to.  I think 181 is gonna be my weight class for this comp, because after these next 4 weeks I'm gonna need a break from this style of eating.  My digestive track needs a break.  It's been cool being able to put away so much food and train so hard, and I plan to bring it back, but I think 6-7 weeks of downtime will serve well.

LUNCHTIME WORKOUT

48 minute 80lb weighted vest hill walks

Notes: Hadn't done anything low intensity for a while.  Nice enough day for it.  Got the branches picked up and moved too.
