CONDITIONING 

10 rounds of

10 KB swings
5 burpee chins
5 dips

Done in 11:40

Notes: Do I know how to take a day off work or what?  Once again, the super early deadlifting means VERY good control on the eccentric, which is a nice limitation.  I might have had that 12th rep on the topset if my life depended on it, but I knew that, if I DID get it, I'd have nothing left in me for a follow up.  Worked out well enough, as I picked up an extra rep on the final rest pause.  My shins are torn to hell: my skin is dry and all the log work keeps opening up cuts on them.  Made me just slightly gunshy on my pulls.

That EMOM workout is awful.  I am so mad at myself for coming up with it.  I'm also somehow getting better at it.  But once it's done, so am I.

Circuit was what I needed.  Nothing too intense and got in some daily work.

Got Tang Soo Do tonight.  Going to spend the day knocking out some chores so I can enjoy the weekend with the family.  

Been meaning to note that this is the least "dramatic" ROM progression cycle I've had in a LONG time.  No real build up, no prep, no psyche up, no meal ritual: just get it done like a normal training day.  I think that's been for the best for me to make this all sustainable.  In general, this has been a very successful training cycle.  I'll write it up at some point to make it a "program".

PM WORKOUT (1600)

More tabata KB front squats

Tang Soo Do class at 1800

Notes: Walk with the dog didn't happen, so I got in something quick while taking out the trash.  Tang Soo Do had me spar the Mrs.  Needless to say, aggression was tuned down a bit, but was a joy to be able to have the experience.  Also got to see my kid spar and they had some great techniques.  Trying to come up with something nutty for tomorrow.
