Notes: 

* There will always be a siren’s call to return to Dogg Crapp, and with that will be the return to rest pause benching.  I just plain can’t stand benching, and this morning I wanted to tear through my training because my work schedule was nuts, so this seemed like a good way to speed it up.  I actually opened up with 300 for a VERY rough single.  I’m sure I’m just exhausted from the combination of hard training, hard working, and living off of protein shakes.  Soon the famine will end and the feast will resume.  Just gonna ride this out.

* I want to celebrate how absolutely jacked I am.  Great time for the heat to be turned up, because training shirtless is primal and I’m a goddamn animal.  In fact, I’d go so far as to say a sexual tyrannosaurs.

* That circuit at the end was a “get to yes” sorta moment.  I didn’t manage the final run of the 7 rounds due to time constraints, but made up the missing distance by parking far away from work this morning.  

* As a bit of full disclosure, part of the motivation for the famine is my kid’s birthday is going to actually kickoff the feast, and I am so excited to be in a headspace where I can legit just cut loose and have a blast with my kid.  No being a martyr about birthday cake and meals: let’s bring on a day of nutritional debauchery.  I’ve learned that any cheat day “damage” can be undone with 1 day on the Velocity Diet, and 4 weeks of feasting will mean being jacked at the end of 2 weeks of Famine.

* Tang Soo Do tonight.
