Notes:

* I like how this turned out.  It's like a Last Castle workout with a buy-in/harmony disrupter.  The squats and push-ups are simply to get in my daily 300, but really anything could fit into there.  Burpees are a pretty obvious choice, but front squats/KB squats would be dandy too.  I like getting up and down off the floor.  On that note: I should seriously consider some turkish get-ups at some point.

* I feel this is pretty close to the Wheel of Pain from Conan: the brutality doesn't ever stop, and there's no purpose to it.  We're not moving the keg to get it to a different spot: it's purely for the sake of misery.  It's pointless brutality.  And there's no way to make it end other than to simply do it until time runs out.  We're not going for rep goals.  Writing this as a story: our Cimmerian is condemened to the Wheel of Pain, but in addition to this punishment he is humiliated by being forced to perform on his master's call.  Similar to Conan fighting in the pits for entertainment, here we perform the prisoner's dance for the amusment of onlookers.  

* Front delts were really making themselves known between those push ups and pressing the keg overhead.  It's sneaky.  I got in 200 reps with the main workout, and finished up with 100 more to get my 300.

* You can tell it's cold since I'm wearing clothes, and, in turn, my walk with the wolf was cut short this morning because of it.  She's an older wolf, still has her dignity, and for that I don't want her to have to shiver and show weakness.  Plus, she'll be out later this evening trick-or-treating, so we'll get in some more steps.

* Light rations are rolling out well.  The famine is in full swing, and may be a short one depending on how effective it is.  Last night I ground up some piedmontese grassfed steak tips to turn into burgers.  They turned out fantastic, and practically zero fat.  Our Cimmerian is becoming lean and sharp, which will prep him for the upcoming war and subsequent feast.
