Training Log: Entry 2515

AM UPDATE

Slept until 0530. Mrs needed to get up early to work on a paper. Opened the day up with a fasted TABEARTA. Once again: 3 complexes in 20 seconds is honest work. I was gassed in 4 minutes. Scratches that ABC itch for sure.

PM UPDATE

Yet another day of absolutely crushing it.  It's currently 2050, Mrs is getting in a run, I just finished my pre-bed meal and this is the first time I've sat down all day and had a moment, which is a testament to how awesome things are.  A lot of the time was filled with chores (did all the grocery shopping and a LOT of meal prep, to include a ground turkey breast and beef liver chorizo that I'm quite curious about), but let me lay out the training

At 0850, I did 50 burpee chins in 5:25.  THAT is the pace I need to do them at.  I've been sleepwalking through them, and it's been showing.  THIS was a real burner.

After groceries and lunch, it was time for

**MONUMENT TO NON-EXISTENCE: UNSTABLE MUTATION**

15x225 front squats

20x225 squat

25x225 SSB squats

30x225 Deadlifts

Straight into 90 minutes of lawn care

STRAIGHT into 20 Thrusters w/135lbs in 2:30

And at some point, I got in my daily work.

Notes:

* Lemme talk about MTNE first.  That front squat felt WAY heavier than it had any right to, and I thought for sure I was gonna underperform today, but I found 15, which it's been a while for me.  I may have even had a 16th in there.  And then, after that...ennui.  Yeah, I still wanted to quit during the SSB squat, but I basically speed-ran this workout.  The transitions between movements were about as short as they could be and I was flying through reps.  I found that 25th rep of the SSB squat much faster than I've ever done before.  Looking like a tune up or overhaul is in my future.

* I no longer have a good arm to pat myself on the back with, so this is gonna come out rough, but allow me to celebrate my insanity.  I squatted 5x10x405 on Monday.  Since that time, I've done a few million front squats through a combination of tabata front squats and Bear Complexes, of which I did 70 something of them on Thurs and opened up this morning with another 24 of them.  On Friday, I went on a 45 minute long vision quest to get in 10x10x301 axle deads and 10x10x205 SSB squats, capped off with 20 Burpee chins.  And then I did this today.  All while "injured".  By any reasonable stretch, my legs should basically be rendered into the filler goo they put inside of Stretch Armstrongs, and instead I am lamenting the BOREDOM I am experiencing from my nutjob psycho workout.

I like to take a step back and take it all in sometimes, because if I don't appreciate the sheer insanity of it, I'm missing out.
