POST WORKOUT SHAKE

CONDITIONING: 

7 rounds of

• 3 Axle clean and push press away 156lbs

• 7 burpee chins

In 10:30

Notes:

• Head spins were an issue for log this morning.  Came near passing out on both the topsets.  Heat is most likely screwing around with my electrolytes. I’m also eating less food, which means fewer opportunities for salt intake.  Something to watch for.  Managed to get redemption in the follow-up axle sets and the supplemental work.

• I am hit and miss logging the fact that I’ve reduced my rest times on the giant sets from 90 seconds to 75.  It’s only 15 seconds, but it definitely makes a difference.

• Still a fan of that conditioning workout.  I made it a point to go straight from the burpees to the clean, and straight from the clean to the push press.  My “Monument to Non-Existence” is teaching me the value of killing transition times.  The difference between a clean right after a burpee vs a clean 15 seconds after a burpee is a BIG difference.

• I torqued my elbow minorly in Tang Soo Do last night but it seems to have bounced back quicker.  I’m healing, but slowly.

• In that regard, planning on an audible tomorrow for deadlift day.  Last week, the max effort pull ripped my elbow in half.  I’m not going to get stronger between now and the comp, and this has already been a great cycle for my pull, so instead of trying to take 475+chains for a ride, I’m thinking of settling in with 405 and going for max reps.   

• ABCs on the agenda for later

PM WORKOUT (1800)

25 ABCs in 5 minutes w/24kb bells

Notes:

* Hitting 25 so consistently is bonkers.  I was fatigued and hurting AND, in the 4th round, I got 4 instead of 5 before setting down the bells to breathe...which meant I had to get SIX in the final round.  I did in the very last second, which tells me that 26 is absolutely viable with this approach.

* Bar is loaded for deads for tomorrow.  Champing at the bit.
