Notes:

• I felt absolutely exhausted coming into this, and my results confirmed that. First trip was 52 seconds, second matched that, then 66 and 68 seconds, at which point I called it. Last cycle, on week 3, I forgot that I was supposed to do light conditioning. This cycle, I remembered and ignored it. Today confirmed that it needs to happen for the next cycle. I imagine that hard deadlift workout accumulated some solid systemic fatigue. I made today "lighter" by only doing the 4 sprints vs the 5 I have been doing, but these were total slogs at the end.

• My resting heart rate has been elevated as well, which I attribute to the heat wave we've been dealing with.

• All that said, my SI joint feels incredible, and I'm having one of those rare "pain free days" today, where nothing in particular hurts. It's the damndest thing: wearing my strongman shorts to Tang Soo Do was actually causing the problem I thought it was solving. I'll continue to save that for just lifting.

• On that topic, TSD wasn't too physically taxing, but we ARE back on physical testing requirements prep for this month, which for our rank is 50 jumping jacks, 50 sit ups and 50 push ups, so I get to add that on top of my training. Sit ups are honestly slept on WHEN performed correctly. If you're actually moving your body through space via ab contraction, you're getting in a good workout. And on the subject of muscle contractions: been dealing with a lot of cramping during this heat. Chasing electrolytes as hard as I can.

• Weighed 82.2kg this morning. Continuing my trend of being .2-.3kg heavier compared to last week across the board.
