Notes:

* Today is the "rest" day of MMS, which is perfect for ES4FL.  One of these days I need to give heavy hands a legit go, but I dig going straight from carries into the walk using the vest.  

* Really focusing on moving the weights quick.  Also tried to focus on irradiation with the deads today: squeezing the bar hard and gritting my teeth.  All those things I used to "know" that I'd been putting to the wayside.  Easy Strength is helping bring them back.  I really am just becoming a huge fan of this, and I'm surprised at the physical transformation I'm experiencing from it.  I thought for sure this would be a "back burner" approach to muscle, but I think I look the best I have in a long while and it's without breaking myself.  Something to be said about the volume accumulated over 5 days of training the same lift.  I do imagine the daily work from Jamie Lewis is helping as well, but it's all a system coming together.

* Got the day off work, so going to fill up some general activity along the way.  Lawn mowing, walking, chores, etc.  Finally got some more beef liver as well: been out for a few weeks.  Be good to get that nutrition source again.

* I like what I came up with on the loaded carries.  It was another one of those "made up on the spot" sorta things.  Chaos is the plan, and Easy Strength's prescription of "never repeat the same loaded carry" is perfect for just that.
