Notes: I absolutely destroyed these squats.  I did it after running 10 miles the day before.  I have never been in better shape in my life.  This is absolutely nuts.

There was no drama on the final rep of the final set: I hit it just like it was the first set.  The very first time I ran this program, I had to lay down on the floor between sets once I hit the 4th set, and I spent about 5 minutes between sets 9 and 10 despite the need for 2 minutes rest...and I was using like 70lbs less.  This has been a crazy evolution to watch.

Still digging those front rack lunges.  They were the answer I was seeking.  And now the weight is moved up for the week of Tabata front squats.

That conditioning workout was ROUGH.  I am sure I am breaking down somewhere.  Actually inspired what very well may be the quote for this blog.  I was about to tape up the tops of my thighs again to keep from bleeding all over the place, but I looked down and saw that my leg was mostly scabbed over and leathery and said "Sometimes the only solution is repeated trauma" and went and pulled.  It worked.

Welcomed 2 new members to the family

55lb bumpers.  I can match them up with a pair of 35s to create 2 45s.  And then I have my 7.5kg plates too.  Because My gym is as weird as me.

Also took a photo of my breakfast, since I said way back I was going to do that

Bottom right is a breakfast burrito (you can BARELY make out the wrap underneath the innards) using an egg white wrap.  The contents are 2 pasture raised organic eggs, 1-ish egg white, some grassfed butter, onions, tomatoes, jalapenos, spinach, and 2oz of darkmeat turkey (typically grassfed beef).  I spread some tzatziki sauce on the wrap, and then topped the omlete with half an avocado, some fat free feta cheese and some primal kitchen unsweetened ketchup.

Bottom left is 5 celery stalks with a combination of almond and peanut based nuts n more spread and half a low carb bagel with sunflower butter on it.  I ate the other half first thing this morning before training.

Top right is 170-ish grams of fat free greek yogurt, 4 frozen organic blackberries, a serving of Naked PB peanut butter flour, some whey protein, cinnamon, salt and dark chocolate chips

Upper left is a mug of cashew milk

I am STILL hungry after eating all of that these days.  I also walk away from the table bloated like a tick, haha.
