AM WORKOUT (0525 wake up, 0700 workout)

TACTICAL BARBELL SPECIFICITY BRAVO Week 1, Workout 3

SSB Squats
4x12x245

Lever belt squats
4x12x195

Notes:

• We got to bed late last night, and my plan was to take up with the Valkyrie’s alarm went off. She ended up not setting it, so we naturally got up at 0525. Chaos is, of course, the plan, and it worked out that my kiddo had a late start with school, so I did the usual breakfast routine and had a little extra time before I had to leave, so I squeezed in the hardest part of the workout, with a plan to follow up the rest when I get home from work.

• Because of the tight timeline, rests were kept to a strict 1 minute, which made this fantastically ridiculous. I DID take video, which I’ll cluge together when I do the rest of the workout, but sets of 12 with the SSB with 1 minute rest is just never a good time, especially when it’s 20lbs heavier than the last time. My belt was wondrously tight from eating before training, but let’s also applaud my ability to eat over 1lb of meat and 8 eggs with butter and liver and then go smash a bunch of squats.

• Knee is feeling good, given the circumstances. Wore the sleeve again at TSD and it’s a real gamechanger. On that note, final class of the week tonight. Still not very active, but getting some technique work in.

• Woke up at 84.3kg. Been a consistent decline all week. Also got in a 1:20 deadhang off the fat gripz. Been seeing my trend on this ticking up.

PM WORKOUT (1520)

Axle strict press
3x12x118
1x11+1x118

(3) Incline DB bench
4x12x65s

Dips
4x15

Notes:

• Finished up the rest of it.

• Everything felt strong. I’m sure a combination of having that meal in me and 2 cups of coffee through the day helped, but was really driving hard on the press.

• Felt my pecs in the incline, to include the buggy one, and got a real solid pump as well.
