Notes:

* Yet again, training motivation is high. Although I should cage that: I’m ready to do THIS training at this time, but I definitely don’t have that compulsion I used to have to train ALL the time. Multiple times over the weekend I saw an opportunity to get in a short sprint workout, but really thought to myself “I don’t want to do that”, so I didn’t. I’m finding that this is what I have a stomach for these days: 3 days of hard lifting, walking whenever possible, and maybe a few short sprints. But it was nice to get this knocked out this morning so I’d have my evening free, because the past 2 times this workout rolled around I ended up sleeping in instead.

* In that regard, I was curious how performance would match up, but I absolutely crushed it. I went up on weight for the dips, KB press and trap bar, and beat previous records on the swiss bar and chins. The trap bar was especially delicious, as I was able to up weight and match my previous record on reps with the lower weight, which, again, was set under more ideal circumstances. Definitely left some blood on the barbell there.

* Goofed on the swiss bar bench and did the math wrong initially. That set of 165 I had in my head as 185, but when I went to press it I could tell it was too light. Called it an extra warm up set.

* Just a good day overall. Might be able to get in a walk this evening. Doing my carb up meal: looking like some bison spaghetti, sourdough and some cookies/brownies.

Oh yeah, I came up with an idea that I'm sure I came up with before, but DoggCrapp/Super Squats hybrid.  Still train 3x a week, but change the movements each workout (A-B-C, A-B-C, etc).  Smaller jumps up in weight each week, allows the program to be run for longer, still brutal.
