 Training Log: Entry 2696

AM WORKOUT (0440 wake up via alarm) FASTED

**CONDITIONING**

5 rounds of 10-15-25-50 KB swings w/24kg bell, 3 burpees between sets



Notes:

* Definitely the last thing I wanted to do this morning, so I settled on a Dan John classic.  I actually really liked this workout for how quickly it make 30 minutes go by.  Clear cut goals to go for.  Might be worth experimenting with a Juarez Valley approach and go 10-50-15-25.  Burpee chins got me through the first 300 swings, but after that my forearms were pissed so I went with a traditional burpee.  Level changes and swings are still hard to beat.

* Took the day off work so I could be home when the Mrs returned.  Nice to have a day to breathe.  Maybe some more training as a result.

* Tang Soo Do was decent last night, but lots of grappling based stuff so I was tapping early due to my forearm pain.  I'm still impossible to wrist lock, so that's cool.  

* In exciting news, I stepped on the scale this morning after my post-workout shower and saw "201.0" as the number.  I'm officially a man according to Mark Rippetoe.  This has been the bodyweight where I've traditionally been my most able: solid combination of max strength and conditioning, but this time I had to eat UP to get to it, and, in turn, I'm the leanest I've ever been at this bodyweight.  I don't see it lasting long, especially with my pseudo Apex-predator/V Diet approach coming up soon, but it's fantastic to know I can get here again.  Solid testament to Super Squats as well.

  1. Just wondering, do you have a job where you're sitting a lot? if so, do you do anything to combat back pain/soreness from all the sitting? Or do you not really sit much or experience this?

    1. Hey man, I do sit a lot in my job, but I don't get back pain/soreness. I make it a point to get up and move pretty frequently. Drinking a lot of water will help there.
