Snuck this one in early-ish. Just did straight sets on the chins today, rested until I was “ready,” roughly 60-120 seconds between sets. Strong-to-weak again, and I hit a wall in the third set. Got 'em in though!
Did 8s across in the front squats, but got 10 in last round. That hurt. Sled push was good—not as fast as yesterday, but it did follow the deadlifts. And I was running again today, not slogging like I end up doing in the later rounds with the heavier load. Might try to push these light-weight days up to 8 rounds so I hit 400 yards, which is equivalent to JW’s 10x40-yard recommendations for a typical sled workout.
It’s my son’s 9th birthday today! His birthdays are always very emotional for us. I won’t bore you with some sob story—we’ve all had hard times in life, I’m not special—but there was a time around his 9-month “birthday” where we weren’t sure he’d see his 1st.
So, yeah, we always party like it’s 1999 on 10 March. Keep in mind, he’s just a kid: really that just means he chooses dinner and we all binge on video games after school!
