Notes:


* Stomach bug is really kicking my butt.  I was passing out on the couch around 2000 last night.  I got to bed early and slept in before training, and really just didn’t have anything in me for that topset of breathing squats.  I went for broke with 225 to make up for it.  That may be a new way forward, as I can easily see Easy Strength and Super Squats blending together here similar to what I did with Mass Made Simple, but I think I’m done with this iteration of Easy Strength.  I am just feeling done, and like something needs to change.  Might also be a great time to test out “Chaos is the Plan: The Plan”.  I have my first of 2 competitions coming up in 5 weeks, so vectoring my training toward that wouldn’t be a terrible idea.  I’ve also got an idea of Deep Water using my next squat style and perhaps axle deads or trap bar pulls.  It’s also the start of my Feast phase, so I could just do the Feast program.  And then there’s new/untested programs as well (Juggeryoke, among others).  


* I skipped out on swings/carries today, to allow for more energy on the squats.  Throw me in Easy Strength jail.


* Mass Made Simple definitely prepped me well for breathing squats.  I felt like I was “done” at rep 20, and just kept finding more as I dug for it.  I honestly think I could have gotten 1 more if I went for it, but it became a question of what was I going to get from it.  I’ll see how my recovery from this goes.


* Tang Soo Do tonight.


* Had a med appointment this morning, and clocked in a 121/60 bloodpressure and a 41bpm heart rate.  That's pretty clutch.
