Training Log: Entry 3139

AM WORKOUT (0545 wake up via Valkyrie's alarm.  Had the day off work)

**CHAOS IS THE PLAN: THE CIMMERIAN CHRONICLE** Week 9, Day 1 "Paradise Lost"

20 minute limit

Axle Grace 

66 Devil presses w/22.5lb DBs

Another attempt at Axle Grace (9 reps accomplished)

Extended Fast (no breakfast)

Walk w/wolf with 50lb vest

Notes: 

* We fall from Grace into Hell and try to claw our way to Purgatory.  Open with axle Grace (30 reps of 136lbs floor to overhead), then 66 Devil Presses (I used 22.5lb DBs), then finish with another Grace attempt with remaining time (20 minute limit).  If you want salvation, you need 30.  15 would be purgatory.  I am still in Hell.

* With the day off, I wanted to spend more time with the Mrs, so slept in with her and got in a quick workout while she got ready for the morning.  This hit plenty hard.  First time running Grace without a power belt and it's definitely a different animal.  Doing it at 25lbs less bodyweight changes things as well of course.  I liked the story this told and how it shook out.  Really gotta move quick on those devil presses: too easy to get slack.  

* Doing an extended fast today.  Had a delightful carb up yesterday with some of the Valkyrie's christmas baked goods and homemade sourdough.  Going stupid low carb today to throw some chaos at the body.

* Plan to get in a high rep squat post lunch to round out the training.
