Notes: 

* This workout remains “the answer” to a lot of questions.  I’m done by the first round, and continuing on just brings it’s own unique misery.  Ending with that tailgate load is a fantastic cherry on top, and then getting home and getting my ABCs and daily work knocked out puts me in a good way for the rest of the day.

* Getting better with the bearhug carry.  Finding where to place the keg so it’s not straight on my lungs.

* Really focused on triple extension for the loading.

* Those burpee chins were just like they used to be.  Focused on being ballistic and the body held up well.  The bruising keeps getting worse as the healing gets better.  Crazy.

* I’ve contemplated re-adding a run into this or a similar workout.  Part of me thinks about how I could get rid of the sled one day and just sprint the parking lot to the keg, load it to the tailgate a bunch of times, and then repeat.  More Litvinov-esque.  There’s also a hill nearby that I could run up for that purpose.  Lots of elements to play with.

* Similarly, coming up with a gameplan for Friday, there’s still a fair chance that heavy deads are off the agenda, so I’m thinking heavy strap suspended good mornings and the finishing off with a LOT of reps of lighter weight deads, Kalsu style.  Set a rep total, go for it, and then interrupt it as I go.  Given how long straps take to set up, rather than EMOM, I might just do penalties, where everytime I stop I have to do something.  Or I might just plain old Malmcolm X  it.  We’ll see.
