GHR sit ups

Various chins between sets

Notes:

* 2 minutes rest between main cluster work, 1 min between supplemental/assistance

* In reviewing the video, it looks like the GHRs/sit ups never recorded.

* Got in 1 more set on the squats compared to Monday.  Wanted to get in 1 more set on the press as well, to make that the protocol between Mon and Fri, but 4 sets was definitely the limit.  I failed on the 8th rep of the 4th set.

* Struggled with the incline DB benching as well.  My right should has been a little buggy this week, so maybe that’s at play.  I don’t want to tweak the maxes yet: I’ll see how next week treats me.

* My abs have been torn up since Monday.  Those GHR sit ups have been a good slap in the face for me.  Glad I brought them back.

* Bar slipped down my back on the third set of squats again.  That seems to be the witching hour for me.  I’ll have to remember to chalk up starting there in the future.  It will eventually be cool enough that I can wear a shirt while I train again, which will help.  I also made a point to sink these as deep as I could, so now I know, if it looks bad on video, that's just how my squats look.

* We ended up skipping Tang Soo Do last night: kiddo is under the weather.  

* Keg carry yesterday was 178.5lbs.
