Notes:

* Decided to make the challenge today to just blitz through this as fast as possible.  Kept the sleeves away as much as I could and moved into the assistance as soon as I was able.  Being able to use my fixed weight DBs for the SLDLs was a boon in that regard as well: funny how that works out.  I was definitely breathing hard when it was over.  The goblet squats continue to just be awesome, but I’m reaching the limit on my KBs loading.  DBs are possible of course, set up will just suck a bit more.

* Technically need to get in 50 more pull aparts to meet Jim’s recommendation.  I can work that later.  Getting in some daily work in a circuit was another dandy way to sneak it a touch of conditioning.  

* Tang Soo Do last night was a solid workout.  Worked a lot of crescent kicks.  They’re getting snappy and strong.  Big part of it is I’m showing up to class without near the fatigue I had when I was running Super Squats, so I can actually put in some work.  Mrs and I both got a stripe promotion, so that was cool.  Still getting told I need to be less tense.  It’s hard to go from an activity where you need to be braced the entire time to one where you need to transition between fluid and braced.  KB work will continue to help there.

* Nutrition continues to be high speed/low drag.  I’m finding myself coming up with some decent post-V Diet strategies where I’ll take lessons learned from this, but I also have no real reason to stop right now.

PM workout was a repeat of my slam ball burpee/broad jump/bear crawl tabata workout, alongside 30 GHRs, 50 pull aparts, 25 pushdowns and 25 band curls.
