Tabata rounds: burpee over bells, double KB clean and strict press w/24kb bells, get 2 of those down each round, then die

Notes:

* Hamstring is close to 100%.  I could do more warm-up work without wrapping the hamstring, and the wraps are much looser.  At this point, more of a security blanket, so that I don’t blow the damn thing out so close to the end.  Same reason I’m sticking with the sweats.  I’m moving FASTER through the squats, as a result, and by the time I got to 28 I wasn’t dealing with nearly as much hand numbness.  I honestly may have had 30 today.  I was too scope-locked on 28 to consider it, but now it’s in the calculus.  I’m not nearly as nuked post squat, as a result.  That said, I got to rep 14, thought to myself “halfway there” and then thought “there’s no way that makes any sense, we’ve been squatting since before time began!”  I may, in fact, be transcending reality.

* Still love seeing all the work outside of the squats go up as well.  I’ll have a plate per side for BtN presses next workout, which is also the last workout.  Crazy to think.  1 more of each variant to go.

* Left shoulder still a little buggy.  Downtime on my upcoming cruise will be good for it.

* Will do some sorta short burst conditioning later today.  That session I came up with this morning was really solid.  There’s something VERY effective about coming right off the floor and putting weight overhead.

* On the nutrition front, I’ve cut blackberries out of the diet.  It seems that avocados are the only berry I can handle.  I’m also including homemade sourdough bread as my pre-workout meal, because it’s awesome.
