Notes:

* Day off work, slept in, got this done after "lunch" (Metabolic Drive).

* Since it was later in the day, my mobility was much better.  Sunk the front squats.

* 3rd set of log was a goat rope.  But I got some real snappy cleans after that.

* Really got some explosive reps on the KB swings.  Want that to carry over to the sandbag throw, because I hate that event.

* That pulled psoas muscle is healing slowly but it's there.  Only the ab wheel seems to trigger it now.

* Valkyrie and I have come down with some sort of virus.  Was actually impacting me yesterday.  Since it's a virus, it tends to manifest in the morning and evening, and then I feel good during the day.  Between that and the dog getting spayed, we're keeping it a low energy day, outside of this training.  Kills my soul to lay low, but it's for the best.  I'm thinking there's something to be said about increased NEAT in the presence of high protein.

* Picked up a digital copy of Vince Gironda's "Wild Physique" book, per the recommendation of Dan John.  Slowly reading through the nutrition section primarily, but will take on the whole thing.  It's amazing how far ahead that dude was.
