Notes: The ramping on the NG chins worked out a lot better.  Far less pain.  Viper on log was a solid choice.  This all sucked pretty good due to heat in the garage, but not unmangable.  This was another 60 minute effort.

Woke up at 198.2.  Going on a road trip, so nutrition is going to be down.

EMOM stone of steel over bar
Triples for 10 minutes

Notes: Finally conquered this workout.  Technique is getting a lot better.  Hit this with 5 hours of sleep over a 48 hour stretch.

No weigh in this morning due to spending the night at the job site.

Woke up at 197.4.

AM WORKOUT

JM Walks w/15lbs
50 minutes

Notes: This was more like a limp.  The weight is really crushing me.  This has been a solid source of conditioning.

Woke up at 197.2.  That seems more realistic.

Notes: About 75 minutes.  Had the day off work so went a little leisurely on rest periods.  Press went much stronger than week 1; belted up again.  Joints are really pissed off from those weighted chins.

Reverse prowler drag w/90lbs 50'
50' back to start
100lb keg carry 50'
Load onto prowler
High handle prowler push w/190lbs 50'

4 rounds

Notes: Been missing the medleys, wanted to get in a simple one that will still get blood flowing to the legs.  This wasn't bad, but didn't quite floor me.  I think next time I'll finish it off with a high handle distance push like I used to.

Woke up at 199.2.  Been eating out a bit this weekend and sodium is super high.

Buffalo bar squats 230
1x20

Notes; Took about 70 minutes, but in fairness, I had to solve a work crisis via text in the middle of the workout.  Think I'm going to ramp up to a topset on those weighted chins, because those straight sets are murdering my joints.  Maybe I need to just warm up...heresy.

10x5 on press went better than expected.  Continentaled every set.

General notes: Woke up at 198.2.  I was 195.8 yesterday and ate a lot of food to compensate, but a lot of sodium as well.  Gonna get some Panda Express today, so it's gonna be an even bigger spike.
