Notes:

• Was contemplating sleeping in a little, since this workout runs shorter with the reduced reps and sets, but my pup climbed on my face at 0359 and that convinced me to get up. Felt a little weak in the warm-ups, but once I got under for the top sets I was feeling sharp.

• This was just a solid effort all around. Pleased with the weights being moved. Glad I could bring back some push presses: had enough juice for them.

• Got in sets of 8 on chins during the workout and opened with 18 and sets of 5 in the warm-up.

• The medley has me more and more exhausted, as I approach it with more and more fatigue. Now that the weights have moved up so much in the competition, I’m less concerned with my performance on it, as I imagine it’s just going to be a slog. But I still like picking stuff up and moving with it.

• Got in a 1:13 hold yesterday.

• Weighed in at 84.8kg this morning. This is, technically, my lightest Monday weight in since starting Red Meat and Black Coffee. Doing it after some Superbowl debauchery is pretty cool.
