Notes:

• 1 minute rest between sets of everything, except 90 seconds for final set of curls

• The mat pulls were in an interesting place, where the weight felt heavy on all the warm-ups, and I acknowledged that it was heavy during the work sets, but it moved easier than it did last week. No pain either. It was as though I had it in my head that it was going to feel so heavy that it managed to just be reasonable when the time came to perform. Goal was 10 reps on the first pull and I got 11. Blew out a bunch of blood vessels in my shoulders as well. Like old times. I feel my strength coming back well.

• Weight belt is still fitting well this deep into gaining, and I’m not looking sloppy. Feel like I’ve really landed on something solid here.

• Weighed in at 83.7kg this morning: .4 drop from Monday. I typically weigh in on Thurs, but we’re getting a break in heat today, so I figured today would be my closest to a post-sweat weigh in that I typically got on Thursdays.

• Tang Soo Do was a solid workout last night. Tonight should be similar. Sprained my thumb on my left hand either in class or in my sleep: it’s swollen, but not enough to impact training.

• Keg carry yesterday was 237.5lbs. It felt pretty light, but the return trips are getting slower and slower.
