Notes:

• This workout continues to be a good idea. I’ve got 3 absolutely brutal workouts in Specificity, and then this one is a little more true to intent. The chins get me a solid pump and help reinforce movement patterns on the row, and ultimately I feel more restored. It’s also MUCH easier to talk myself into doing this.

• Rested 1 minute between chins, and as long as I needed to get the total reps. 1 minute on rows, 60-90-90 on curls, 1 minute on GHRs and sit ups.

• Tang Soo Do was a good workout last night, and we did some board breaks as well. There was a lot of short stopping on runs, which put my right knee in a bad way, especially after the squat workout. I’ve used motrin twice this week, and my guts are a little torn up. My doc suggested that I may have a CYP2C9 polymorphism, which would honestly explain quite a bit. Also would be why I am a very poor responder to general anesthesia.

• Weighed in at 85.2kg this morning. This is the first week I’ve stayed above 85kg the whole week. The gaining has been successful, despite no tracking, counting, and only eating carbs for 1 meal a week, along with only 2 meals a day in general. There’s honestly too many ways to succeed.
