BREAKFAST/DRIVE TO WORK

Brisk 2 mile walk

Notes: 

* It’s amazing how much I don’t care about benching that I have to keep coming up with gimmicks and hooks to get me to do it, but chain benching felt awesome.  It’s been a long time since I brought it out.  And I know I totally set up the chains “wrong” as far as Westside is concerned, but for today’s goals they worked well.  It was an interesting degree of challenge, as it wasn’t murderous and I could move quickly through the workout, but you can see it’s clearly exhausting me.

* Experience some minor clavicle pain on the left side on the second set of heavy dips.  Nothing too significant, but I’ll monitor.

* Focused on really sticking with the Tabata intervals today on the push ups and squats and it was a solid conditioning effort as a result.

* Walk went well.  My in general walking speed has increased as a result of all of this.  

* Still just loving how nutrition is treating me.

Got in a 1.5 mile 50lb weighted vest walk with the dog for the PM
