Notes: Kids first day of school, so schedule was a little bit of chaos.  Not as much conditioning as usual.  Was honestly pretty happy to get in the deadlift workout.  Still not quite dialed in to this way of training and figuring out how things are going to work, but the effort was there.  My topend strength has dipped a little, but my ability to fight is at an all time high, so even though 480 felt heavier than it should have, I got the 5 reps in clean, without pause.  

Next time, I'm gonna go with some axle rows against bands instead of the KB rows, but I realized I had done kroc rows yesterday and didn't want to duplicate effort.

I work an 8 and 2 12s in the next 3 days, all early, so early wake ups ahead.  Tower of Babel or something similar tomorrow, then maybe another conditioning day before starting the training cycle over again.

Dealing with a little bit of training ennui.  Was just so dialed in and focused for 26 weeks, hard to back off like that.  But that's honestly a good sign that I already want back in.  This break will be good for me to reset.
