Notes:

* I am done, in so many ways.  The more this week has progressed, the more of my soul I realize I sold for that set of 20x405.  I originally had 20x345 on the SSB as the goal today, but just unracking that weight was monumental.  I settled on 225 and took it for all it was worth.  Pleased with the effort, definitely achieved that objective, but I also have been feeling like I have the flu after every workout this week.  My appetite is completely shot today.  Super Squats took as well as it gave.  I feel like a NASCAR pulling through the finish line before all 4 tires fall off and the engine drops out.  I’m already thinking of getting a jump start on my family-man velocity diet by swapping my evening meal for a shake tonight.  I could not be more excited about NOT eating.  

* Ok, enough venting: that set of 45x225 was still awesome.  The SSB is a gift, and looking at it like that helps, because we need to earn our treats.  I feel so much better after squatting with it.  Elbow, hips and knees are in a much better state.  I had to cut out a set of DB incline because I just plain could NOT wrestle the dumbbell into place on my left side, and I could foresee that just blowing up my elbow pretty bad.  BtN presses came alive on the second set, so that was cool.  

* I’m already thinking of what my deload is going to look like.  To get back into running shape, I’m thinking of a week of Litvinov style workouts.  Pick a movement, do it for reps, run a fast lap around the block, come back to the garage and repeat.  I don’t care about distance or anything like that: I just need all the small muscles involved in running to come back to life.

* Krypteia keeps sounding more and more like the right way forward.  I’m, of course, going to change stuff.  Big thing is rotating implements like I typically do with 5/3/1, and I’m thinking of using loadable KBs instead of DBs for the squat and SLDLs.

PM WORKOUT

Tabata workout where I'd do 2 rounds of burpee chin into burpee into double KB clean and press.  That felt SO right.  Good to be back.
