Even minute: 100lb log viper presses

50 pull aparts

25 pushdowns

25 reverse hyper leg curls

Notes: I’ve been avoiding the Tower, which meant it needed to happen.  REALLY wanted to push to 9 on the topset, and the set of 7 was actually really smooth, but 8 just cut the legs out from under me. Walked away with a solid PR for time, and then the fire and brimstone sets were weight PRs, so that’s cool.

From there, I still wanted to get in vipers on this day, because it’s just been a good day for those, and throwing them into the daily work seemed like an awful idea, so there we go. I really hate when I do stuff like this, because it’s like Goku when he experienced 100x gravity for the first time: now that I’ve done it, I HAVE to keep doing it. This REALLY sucked, and that made it pretty effective.

Working an early and got Tang Soo Do tonight. Got in a 3 mile run with the Mrs yesterday. Those STILL suck after squats. We’re learning new one steps today for TSD, which is usually a decent workout. Instructor is STILL on my case about my front foot being too heavy. Got too much Jack Dempsey in me.
