Notes:

* It’s good to come back to what works.  My topend strength needs bringing up, and this will do just that.  Kept blacking out with the keg, solid challenge.  Need to get those dips back in order.  Viking press was landmine vs the set-up I was using before, which is far more streamlined.  In general, I keep learning more every time I re-rerun this.  

* Cutting away from my personal challenge on the KB swings was the right call.  No longer dreading training, no more albatross around my neck.

* In thinking about “what am I doing different” and why I’m not getting the results I was before, training was a part of it, trying out real fasting vs PSMF was part of it, but I realized that I just flat out haven’t had a real Rampage in 2 weeks.  I didn’t want to eat that way, but the results are obvious.  Calorie cycling is part of this: I need a day with a BIG calorie dump so my body gets disrupted.  Our brunch buffet has moved closer by.  We’re gonna hit it up this weekend.  I need to make peace with eating the way that reaches my goals.  Ideally, I’d like to Rampage on Sat vs Sun, but I’ll adapt as needed.
