Notes:

* Still feeling wiped out.  That 40 rep squat set took a lot out of my soul, but on top of that I think Mrs and I picked up a stomach bug, so that could be a factor.  Keeping the “everything else” on the lighter side for now, sticking with weighted vest walking.  Made it more a “fun run” with those squats every block, helped keep my heart rate up.

* That zercher carry was a fantastic “bad idea”, and I think it actually helped knock a pinched nerve of mine back into alignment.  Picking that weight up is VERY challenging, because the vest puts it so far out of alignment.

* I keep saying I’m going to do the full 40 days of Easy Strength, but I honestly might pull chalks on Friday.  But that’s an “ish”, as I’m thinking of keeping Easy Strength, but with new movements and new rep ranges.  I don’t foresee anything miraculous happening in the span of 7 more workouts after Friday, and I feel like I may have reached the point of maximizing the benefits of the 3x3 approach (in truth, I think I hit that even earlier).  I’ve got some good lessons learned to carry forward.  I also have some awful plans for what my “everything else” will be.  But there’s other things I may want to try as well: chaos is the plan.

* Tang Soo Do was a decent workout last night.  I learned my new Hyung last week and we covered the new one steps yesterday.
