Notes: Just a little conditioning workout to relearn the dumbbell, since it's coming up in an April contest.  Did a good job getting my heart rate up.

Notes: Bar on my back felt heavier than it should.  I'm out of practice.  Weight loss is part of that too.  Tendinitis has switched to IT band inflammation.  Just gonna ride out this training cycle for now. Still hitting required reps, just not much else.  Giant setted the squats, reverse hypers and benches, and threw in the pull aparts when I ran out of hypers.  The GB loading pin curls worked out well, and I'm a big fan of the yoke press.  Makes light weight feel heavy.

Woke up at 191.2.  Balancing act between correcting my weight while not freaking out and over correcting.

Prowler w/200lbs
Backwards drag 550-600'
High handle push 550-600'

Notes: I really need to quit doing this workout, but sometimes it's easy to be hard and hard to be smart.  Total ass kicker, just not really anything I need to work on at the moment.  I'll get back on track soon.

Woke up at 191.6.  Extra few pounds seem to make a difference here, because this really sucked.

Notes: Giant sets for the deads, ab wheel log and pull aparts.  Everything else an afterthought.  This was tough.  I'll be running the anchor for 2 cycles, so next cycle I'll bring down the training maxes and really push some reps.  Right now just gonna run into the red.  Think I've got some patellar tendinitis on the left knee as well, so there's that.

Woke up at 191.6 this morning.  4lbs down from the start of the vacation.  Also picked up some original formula MHP "Up Your Mass", which I'll be using on training days.

Woke up at 195.0.

Training Log: Entry 2355

Prowler w/200lbs loaded
550-600' backwards drag
550-600' high handle push

Notes: Been wanting to do this workout for a while, and figured now was as good a time as any with how sore my legs had been.  Estimating distance, but I live on the end of my street, so I pulled the prowler all the way down and then pushed it back, stopping as long as I needed to get it done.  This was pretty awful.  It's not the heart or lungs (although they sneak up on you) but the legs.  They just don't want to play anymore.  Was tied between calling this the Juggernaut workout or the Sisyphus one, because though it requires you to keep pushing on matter what, stones were the bane of my existence.  Any time a little pebble got under the prowler skis, things got hairy.

Woke up at 197.2.  Feeling some carbs and salt.
