Notes:
* I’ll start with the end: that dip/push up circuit wasn’t supposed to go down that way. Was trying to run General Conditioning 5, but I was battling technology. Kept setting my timer to be 1 minute intervals, but it kept defaulting to 90 seconds for some reason. I would start the dips, think “this is taking a LONG time”, finish up, discover that it was going on for 90 seconds, reset it for the push ups, and then dips would roll around again. In turn, I ate up too much training time to be able to do the full GC, but I got in a decent chest pump, so that’s a victory.
* My right knee continues to feel better and better each week, and I find myself better able to hit depth and spring out of the bottom of these front squats. This time with this program has been really awesome for healing and recovery.
* Had some of my best log cleans today. Really giving me some confidence for the comp. Still only 1 other guy in my class, which was the dude I went against last time, who was a better presser than me, so I need to bring that up.
* Managed to get in some throws yesterday, and over 23k steps. Really solid recovery day.
* Weighed in at 84.2 kg this morning. That’s a .8 drop from last week. Everything is clicking along well, without counting or tracking. Sticking with the plan and eating a carby meal tonight, as it just keeps working. I actually did chicken breasts last night, and broke out the smoker, since our weather is unseasonably awesome right now. They turned out about as good as chicken breasts can, which is to say: not very, but I’m appreciating having periods of lean meals and periods of fatty meals along this process.
* May be able to get in some walking this evening.
