Haha, yes looking at that again it is a bit cryptic - it means I did some work and sweated a bit.
I was thinking the same thing, haha. I could figure out the trap bar deadlift walks but the rest remains a mystery

3.67km trail run (very precise as with a friend with a fancy Garmin), I would have happily carried running to 5km, but wanted to have serious conversation, so walked the remaining 1.33km to finish.

30 mins of “boxing” on VR - different one than normal, Creed, bit easier than the other one I normally play but more fun on the career mode and I’m pouring sweat so had some fun and did something physical.

L11 followed by
Beat my previous 30 mins by 80m (didn’t know it, just keeping a fairly easy pace), then went for another 5 mins and pushed it down the back 2.5 mins to finish dripping.

45M d6 W1:
Still owe 3 rounds on the finisher, but pouring sweat as per usual (hence the wet note pad) and have a meeting online 10 mins.
Does your body ever adapt and not sweat quite so much?

Evening -
1 mile walk followed by 1 mile cycle (walked to borrow a bike off my dad then rode back, he’s got a decent one and mines got a snapped disc). Going to ride to church tomorrow instead of run, trying to keep variety in the cardio.

2.5 miles of cycling (1.1 + 1.4 broken up by prayer meeting) - almost entirely up hill and I had no idea how to work the gears on the bike, good challenge to the legs.

Evening
45M W1 B2 D8
Everything EMOM:
Offset carry: 60kg BB and 16kg KB X 20m x 10
1 side every minute, the prescription is 50ft each way each minute, but I set this way to heavy for that and I have no smaller bumpers so went for it.
That was hard, hard work. Getting balance on the bar was hard and just got progressively harder the more fatigued I got, when it was off balance I had to drop and pick up again, first thing anything close to an actual farmers walk, I see why someone (pwn I think?) said trap bar is nothing like real farmers.
Close grip chin ups: 5 x 10 sets
This is easy and sits as nigh on recovery for me.
Loading - 50kg sandbag x 5 x 10 sets on this (about 4ft I reckon):
Not easy, glad to have the Chins in between, pouring sweat, shocking that.

Funny enough, it’s the opposite. Good athletes tend to be heavier sweaters, because their bodies are conditioned TO sweat. When you engage in exercise regularly, the body understands the process well enough that, once you just start exercising, it goes “Oh f**k: here we go again! Turn on the sweat!” Contrast this with irregular exercisers: their bodies tend to start sweating a bit too late to cool themselves down.
