Training Log: Entry 2606

AM WORKOUT (0545 wake up via dog) FASTED

2 mile 80lb weighted vest walk.

Notes: Not a bad start to the weekend. May have been able to sleep more, but schedule is pretty packed and getting the dog walked early relieved some of that. Still have deads and bench today. My plan for a cheat meal didn’t really unfold. By the time I got to dinner, all I wanted was meat, so I got wings again. I think I need to start actually doing a cheat meal at breakfast if I’m going to start implementing them, because by the time dinner rolls around, I’m so full of nutrient rich foods that I just plain don’t have any hunger in me and the idea of eating something I enjoy doesn’t manifest because I just plain don’t want to eat. Interesting development.

Notes: Supersetted the deads and bench until I ran out of deads, then finished out the benching.  With the axle loaded to the very ends, I had to really control the deads, which added an element of suck to it.  Since my axle was occupied, I went with swiss bar benching, because barbell benching is lame and I'm so bad at swiss bar benching that it's a challenge in and of itself.  Unracking it still sucks and it's especially brutal to bench with.  I'd love it if I didn't hate it.

The rows are some of the most taxing parts of this workout.  The curls are always gnarly.

Got in the rest of my daily work. 

Wanted to share what my box squat box rig looks like these days
