5 @ 65 kg
5 @ 67.5 kg
5 @ 70 kg
+ 15 burpees
Notes
Fairly under whelmed at not making it up to BW, but just saw that 5 at 70kg is equal to my old 5RM PR. Finding it hard [...]

Basically…
I promised Doug we’d do a session this morning. I figured we’d make it something simple. I forgot to remember that simple doesn’t mean easy:
Workout
OH Walking lunge the length of the gym @ 35 kg BB (Doug: 20 kg)
Broad jump back to start
Farmer carry the length of the gym @ 2 x 22.5 kg plates
Broad [...]

W
Workout
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 each side of:
KB Snatch
KB Clean
KB Rack lunge
KB Jerk
One legged deadlift
All @ 16 kg KB
=~ 29:00
Then…
Step-up BB lunges
The step up to reverse lunge is harder than it looks. Not just because it’s a tricky stability move, but I kept forgetting (over-thinking) which foot was supposed to be lunging [...]

What Would Ross Enemait Do?
21-15-9: KB Swings, Burpees. @24kg KB
Focus on speed and intensity. Rest as needed between rounds to achieve no broken sets!
Notes
8.8 seconds faster and 4kg lighter than last time, with only 10 breaths rest between the 15 and the 9.
That can only mean two things:
1. It’s slower to pick up a dumbell.
2. [...]

Daniel
25 Push-ups (Rx: 50 pull-ups)
Run 400m
21 Thrusters @ 30 kg (Rx: 42.5 kg)
Run 800m
21 Thrusters
Run 400m
25 Push-ups (Rx: 50 pull-ups)
Time: 13:50
Notes
Significant scaling on the bookend gymnastic movements but: 1) No pull-up bar and 2) Weak push-ups. Operative word being weak today – both sets were broken.
I’d intended to do the thrusters with 37.5 kg, but [...]

21-15-9 reps of:
Deadlift @ 87.55 kg (Rx: 102 kg)
Handstand pushups (scaled to pike pushups)
Time: 15:35
Notes
Faster, but also lighter than last time. Probably a smarter scale.
The intensity was also lacking a little today, but it’s good to be “back”.

Pear, apple, strawberry, cottage cheese
Coffee
Chicken and salad wrap
Apple, tuna
Coffee
Three chicken drumsticks in ginger and garlic w butter and [...]

Nothing to see here
I had a birthday and ate a good amount of yummy dark chocolate. Work has been busy, but enjoyable, I’ve been looking at and reading a lot about photography again (as if I need another uberexpensive hobby).
Perhaps more importantly – for this blog at least – why does this make me feel [...]
