Great start to the work week with a rainy, dreary day that would have most people pulling the blankets up and hitting the snooze button.

Not us. We had a hearty group of dudes ready to get after it today and this whole week despite the weather, inconvenience, unpleasantness, laziness or comfort.

Today started out with

Back squat

10-8-6-4-2

Increase weight each set and take 2:00 between each set

then

Roll right into this one

TRICYCLE

60 cal on Assault Bike

then

4 Rounds of

21 Thruster @75 lbs

18 Alternating Dumbbell Snatch

15 Chest to Bar pullups

This one took me a little over 22 minutes including a poop break after the 2nd round. I was disappointed in this because I did not exercise discipline yesterday. I ate too much and too late. I was not burning clean and my body said…We got to get rid of this…and it did. I was able to come back and finish pretty strong, however, I believe I could do much better on this workout.

This is going to be a great week that will have lots of good outcomes at work but also in the training part of my life. My stretching program has been paying some big dividends as I have overcome my back injury and increased range of motion in almost every position and lift. I will continue to work hard at this flexibility for this entire year and probably for the rest of my life. Joe Hippensteel says that it is the fountain of youth and I do believe him. I feel better than I have in a long time.
