Notes: Definitely showing the healed hamstring: I blitzed through this compared to last week, and this was doing thrusters on each end vs my normal breakdown of front squats 1 side/thrusters the other. It was 25 degrees BEFORE windchill this morning. Started off with the NEVERsate hoodie on top of the long sleeve thermal, and by round 10 I was back to berserker mode. This is becoming the workout I look forward to the most. It’s primal and generates a ton of hunger being done fasted in the cold.

Something I’ve been meaning to log, but I intentionally set the bells away from the prowler so that I have to run between them. I really think it’s the final bit that makes this so magical. For one, it gets in yet ANOTHER form of conditioning training: now I’m doing prowler work, KB work AND running, but there also very much a “Sisyphus” element to running back to start the whole thing all over again. As far as strongman goes, it’s great training for the transition between events on a medley. Shame we got rid of medleys so that we could just focus on static maxes though.

But I’m not bitter.

The patrol car was actually already in the parking lot when I showed up this morning, but in turn, they didn’t even swing by to chat. Maybe I get a free pass now. Or even a police escort. Which is good, because if someone tried to mess with me in the middle of the workout, I’d most likely just lay down and die.
