50 KB swings w/40kg bell

Notes: Still re-learning how to strongman.  I spend a lot of energy on that continental, but it's more rewarding to do that than take it from the rack.  I was satisfied with the double, but also felt like I had some more in me, so rested a minute and went back after it.  Technique was better on it.

Was feeling REAL strong on the giant sets.  Not sure why, but not gonna argue.  Had steak tonight and burgers yesterday, so maybe it's just the purely American cuisine complimenting the benching.  

The clean each rep is always the highlight.

Added weight to the Poundstones due to time.  Got in some quick KB swings later just to get in a touch more conditioning.

Squats tomorrow.  My 12 hour shift got canceled this week, so that's awesome.  Might actually put in for some time off if I can.
