OFF CAMERA

15 round EMOM of

* 20 push ups
* 10 KB swings w/24kg bell

BREAKFAST: 3 egg whites mixed with 2 scoops of Metabolic Drive, 2 small pieces of beef liver

2 mile leisurely walk

Notes:

* Holy cow I am exhausted!  This is what happens when you leave me to my own devices.  This hit all the highlights and has absolutely set me up for a weekend Rampage.

* Went with a small jump on the mat pulls.  I’m in no rush these days to push it: just wanna get in the effort.

* Decided to make the internet happy and go with a really full ROM on the Zeno squats.   Felt better on the knee compared to my normal stopping point, and helped remove expectations coming into it post mat pulls.  10x315 wasn’t pushing to my max, but it was beyond the point of comfort, and then taking that set of 155 to it’s logical conclusion helped.

* Otherwise, just some greatest hits sorta stuff.  I genuinely didn’t think I’d make it through those squats, push ups and swings today when it was all done, and I’m still feeling a little “hungover”.

* Kiddo picked Pizza Ranch for the weekend Rampage.  I am unreasonably excited.  Fried chicken and pizza: here I come!
