1x18

Notes: Went straight from my 12 yesterday to Tang Soo Do, our sparring night was focused on hitting the wavemasters with “tournament sparring techniques”, so it was a lot of fast footwork and being bouncy and spinny, came home, mrs worked on homework for a few hours while I did some meal prep, crashed, alarm got me up and I got after it.

Felt a bizarre combination of strong but unstable. The muscle is there, but all of my connective tissue is loose. Back was rippling and popping all over on the heaviest topset, and I called it at a double with a follow up single vs going for a true triple. Had a little difficulty with dizziness on the set of 200, but no blackout.

Hit PRs all along the supplemental work. This is going well. The looseness I think speaks to how little time I need on a diet break to reset. I also probably need to take in some carbs and refill some glycogen so that stuff will stick back together. Schedule has been crazy and cheat meals haven’t happened.

Tabearta continues to just be amazingly terrible. As long as I get in 2 per round, I know I’ll be hurting.

Took Friday off of work. Deadlifts in the morning, then getting chores knocked out so that my weekend is free If the weather is good, I’ll be able to take the dog around.

PM WORKOUT (1815)

Tabata KB front squats w/45lb bells

Notes: Another "knocked out while taking out the trash" workout.  This is a method I'd gladly sell.  Just put a set of bells somewhere in your house that you frequently go through and make it a goal to do this 3 times a week, minimum.  Could do some serious damage.  I still am caught off guard with how "done" I am after 4 minutes.  Holding the rack position really does some magic.
