Notes:

• 2 min rest between sets of bench, 1 min for everything else

• Bench weight is just right. Struggle on the last reps. Same with dips and curls. Lever belt may be a little on the heavy side, but I can get through it. Adding the spotter arm for support helped. I’m not using it like Hatfield squats, but more just to keep my torso upright and provide balance.

• Mat pulls felt VERY strong this morning. Good positioning and not much struggle to break off the floor. 12 reps wasn’t pushing me to the absolute limit, but I cut the final pull short at 4 reps vs 5, so as to not grind too much.

• Was feeling pretty wiped during the ab wheel. Think the dehydration was getting to me.

• Sparring again tonight. Last night wasn’t much activity for me, as I went up against the kiddo in the first round. Gave them a fight and let them get in their 3 points, but it worked out well, because they had an awesome match in the semi-finals with a beautiful ax kick, and then went on tot he finals and scored a point against one of our black belts.

• Keg carry weight yesterday was 202.5lbs.
