Training Log: Entry 3572

AM WORKOUT (0400 wake up via alarm)

300 Burpee Chins in 60 Minutes (5 EMOM)

Notes:

* This was supposed to be the final lifting workout for Tactical Barbell.  I woke up feeling really good and like it was going to be a good day.  When I get under 315 for the squat warm-up, I noticed how heavy it felt during the walkout, and how my lower back was saying “stop” when I started squatting, and I recalled how the deadlifts on Wednesday went and concluded that I’ve simply pushed myself to my limits and it was time to shut it down.  One more workout isn’t going to make me any stronger for my competition, but it can certainly mess me up, so the juice wasn’t worth the squeeze.  At that point, I found myself with an abundance of time, and knowing that Cindy was only going to take around 23 minutes, I decided to do something I’d been wanting to do for a while that would require no external load on my body.

* Yes, the decision to having "Somewhat Damaged" on a loop the entire time was intentional and metaphorical.

* I originally was going to do just 50 minutes, but my schedule was pretty flexible this morning and I was able to push the workout a little longer into a far more satisfying full hour/300 reps.  I ended up spraining my right middle finger somewhere in the mid 40s due to a misgrab on the chinning bar.  That finger has been injured before, so this is a re-injury.  It’s already quite purple and swollen, but should most likely be good by the day of the comp.

* Tang Soo Do went well last night.  Kiddo and I knocked out our Hyung and got in a decent workout.  We’re going out for Texas Roadhouse tonight, so more steak and eggs on the horizon.
