Notes:

* A very rare afternoon workout for me. I genuinely don't care to train in the afternoon as it feels "too easy".  I'm loose, limber, warm, and have some meals in me.  This is often a recipe for disaster, as I'll overreach and do something stupid.  It's why I stopped using Surge: I felt TOO good.  Here, I tried to make the most of it by blitzing through this workout.  I have 30 second "recovery" written on the squats because it wasn't a true 30 seconds rest, but once 30 seconds had passed I got back under the bar.

* Very strong pressing, and got a great pump out of it.  I was already 250 push ups deep into the day, and got in that insanity of burpees yesterday, so my front delts were on fire.  Actually made holding the squat bar a bit tough.

* Originally was doing 6 reps chins and 12 reps dips each round, but eventually broke it down to 5s.  Still got it done again in under 20 minutes.

* Those reverse hypers are really something. I am wiped out when they're done.  Definitely needs to stay in the rotation.

* Final day of feasting.  I am legit tired of eating, so this works out well. That said, the Mrs. hit me with a "you look HUGE" while I was hanging out in the kitchen in my wifebeater, so clearly the monolith got built.  Apparently I made the most of our Pizza Ranch outing today...and I STLL have a reservation at Texas de Brazil for Sunday, so that's gonna be my rampage meal.  Chaos remains the plan.

* Completely not training related, but we solved an escape room as a family today to celebrate presidents day, so that was pretty awesome.  And my Valkyrie made me a bison meatloaf for dinner, so that's doubly awesome.
