Notes:

• I was excited for this training day. Making it only 3 sets of squats/press and a set of deads makes it super digestible. I’m actually considering splitting it, and doing the squats and presses in the morning and saving the pulls for the afternoon. Something to consider.

• The squats weren’t QUITE as silky-smooth as Monday, but still feeling solid.

• It took everything in my power to NOT go for more sets on the mat pulls, but my hip never recovered from last week and this workout definitely regressed it a little. Cutting it off when I did will allow me to heal more, and I have to remember that I’m training for a competition, so ultimately I need to be healthy when that rolls around. But my strength is doing AWESOME. Another week of 19 reps, where I had it in me to push for some more if I wanted to.

• Weighed in at 85.3kg this morning. Been so long since I had carbs that I got to experience that post carb up “whoosh”. Also a sign on of the effectiveness of the coffee fasting. My weight belt is fitting much better. I’m digging how simple and sustainable this approach is.

• Got in a 1:10 hold last night. Seems to be where I average out when training daily.
