Notes:

* Another weekend, so slept in until about 0715, got in my 50 squats and push ups, got a great breakfast, took the dog for a long walk, did some errands, fasted through lunch, and got this done while the Valkyrie took a nap.  

* Trying to remember how to strongman.  Been a LONG time since I ran a legit medley.  My competition will be Huss, Keg and Sandbag.  I don't have the huss stone, so I'm doing the bearhug carries to simulate.  I went without the sandbag for today, as it's a legit 200lbs and right now I'm just trying to get some technique down.

* On that note, I won't need to worry about conditioning on this, but I am stupidly weak right now.  I learned a trick from Nick Best about resting the load on a belt, which I'll use in the near future, but right now I just wanted to shake off the rust.

* Lower back and forearms held out well.  Called it at 4 rounds just to not beat the hell out of myself.  These first 2 workouts have been a break-in: I'll turn up the heat at this point.  

* Still need to get some throws in.  Don't have much of a plan, but reps are reps.

* It killed my soul, but I only got a half rack of ribs at dinner tonight.  Even the Valkyrie commented on that.  I already miss gaining, but I'm also really enjoying not walking around feeling bloated all the time.
