Notes:

• All the protective measures I’m employing have been adding up. Using the tacky shirt is keeping my forearms happy, and the flat shoes are allowing my knee to recover more and more. I was also wearing compression shorts under my strongman shorts, since my hips were hurting yesterday, which made my belt magnificently tight. In general, I’m feeling my old self, as I’m training like my old self.

• I am excited for Specificity Bravo. I think something really clutch about Tactical Barbell is it’s interesting combination of doing the same thing all the time but switching things up frequently enough that it staves off ADD. I’m not bored of Grey Man so much as I’m tired of it: it’s hard training. It pairs well with big eating, but I can only do both for so long.

• With the flat shoes, I notice my warm up sets have me on my toes. I’ll need to work more on sitting back.

• Carried a 228.5lb keg last night and did a fat gripz hang for about 1:10.

• Weighed in at 84.3kg this morning. Didn’t carb up yesterday, and only had 1 meal, but it was a big one. Saving myself for this holiday weekend.
