Notes:

• 16 reps of 405 is a +1 rep PR from last time I pulled this.

  

• In a fair bit of irony, I was listening to “Somewhat damaged” from NiN’s “Fragile” album, wearing my torn up “somewhat damaged” sweatpants that have the words “broken, bruised, forgotten, sore” written on them, and right before the very first rep of the deadlift, the lever on my belt broke. The bottom half of the latch snapped off, so it was only secured from the top. Which means I actually pulled this without the belt fully latched, which is really pretty awesome. I had some more in me, but with the grappling competition on Sunday, I didn’t want to blow myself completely out. Right now, my left hip flexor is calling me an idiot, so it wa a good call to not completely send it.

• You’ll see that the lever belt also had a small mechanical issue in the middle of the set, so the irony continued. But my knee felt awesome.

• Stuck with the BtN presses. My pec is feeling pretty good, but, in turn: why push it on the last week of the program? I’ll continue letting it rest and heal and see what I can do in Specificity. BtN presses rock anyway. Same reason I cut out benches at the start of the workout.

• I DID manage a keg carry of 238.5 last night, but immediately after I went to Tang Soo Do and noticed that my knee, which had felt awesome all day, was tight and uncooperative. I’m going to read the tea leaves here and just put the Milo experiment on continued hiatus. If I can get my right knee recovered, I’ll be able to do more damage in the long run compared to if I keep hammering it. Also got a 1 minute hold.

• Weighed in at 85.0kg this morning. Growing well.

• Tang Soo Do on the schedule for tonight.
