 Training Log: Entry 3580

AM WORKOUT (0510 wake up via Valkyrie’s alarm)


**TACTICAL BARBELL MASS PROTOCOL GREY MAN**


*Operation MILO* Cycle 1, Week 1, Workout 2


“ROW ROW ROW YOUR BLOAT” (Recovery row)


23 minutes low intensity rowing


Notes:


* Yes, it’s just the recovery row, but I’m giggling at that name I came up with for a Mass protocol conditioning workout.  Recovery row was 100% the right call as well, as I woke up with some pretty decent DOMS in my quads and the rest of my body, which was a re-assuring sign that, despite my views on the depth of my squats from the video, they’re still effective for my intended purposes.  And this functioned well FOR recovery was well, because my body is feeling awesome post workout.  I’m sure just some time with lighter weights and higher reps in general is going to bode well for me.  The cyclical nature of Tactical Barbell just continues to shine, despite the views of others that cycles should be avoided and we should just maintain a consistent rhythm until we die…


* I ended up mowing the lawn yesterday as my evening post dinner activity, with a heat index of 115.  Was great for getting a good sweat going and getting in a little sun.  Tonight is Tang Soo Do, which is a little more active these days as we get prepared for belt testing.


* Last night’s keg carry was 175lbs, carried one full lap in my driveway (1 length down, 1 length back), which I’ve calculated to be about an 80’ trip.  I think I’ll keep that distance.  I should be able to add just 1 lb by using the spacers for the keg and continue my gradual increase.
