Notes:

• This was “off schedule” due to pending traveling, and honestly went incredibly well.  Strongest I have felt on the pulls since the start of the cycle.  Definitely falling into a good groove.  Probably could have ground out another rep somewhere in there, based off the absence of blown out blood vessels in the face.  Also got back in the habit of gorilla taping my shins, and it went a long way in limiting cutting/bleeding during the workout.

• That EMOM workout never gets better.  Eeked out 1 more rep in total.  

• My change in shrug technique is really changing things for the better.

22 ABCs in 5 minutes w/24kg bells

Tang Soo Do was a decent enough workout.  Getting lots of positive feedback on technique as well.

Road trip tomorrow, so keeping this short before I get some rest.
