12 Apr Log: Three mile run, felt ok but not great. I’m logging nutrition in my app but may take a break from screenshotting unless I make significant changes or deviate noticeably from my targets (otherwise it’s basically going to be the same old, same old).
13 Apr Log: Officer PT this morning - basically a leg blaster workout. Likely to have trouble walking tomorrow.
DL: 6x4 @ 145 lbs. I thought I was loading 155, but turns out it was a 35 lb barbell vice 45 (there were barbells laid out and I just picked one that was open to use)
Back squats: 1x8 @ 95 lbs, 5x8 @ 75 lbs. Started off at 95 and realized that weight was going to be a bit much, especially since we were trying to move fairly quickly through each exercise.
Farmer’s carry: 6x ? ft (I’m terrible at estimating distances, but probably around 30 yards? Maybe a little more?) @ 90 lbs (two 45# KBs)
Sled Push/Pull: This sucked because we were doing it on asphalt. The pull portion (pulling while walking backwards) was particularly brutal. No idea how much the sled weighed, but I only put 15 lbs on it, and it felt quite sufficiently challenging. 6 x same distance as the farmer’s carry.
Diagonal lunges: 6x6 per leg w/ 50 lbs (two 25# KBs)

I’ve always found this to be the case with sled pushes/pulls. Kind of like the buddy drag during CFT. Instant quad pump followed by quad cramps and crying (at least for me).
I go by steps or overall time, depending if I’m aiming to work forearms or something else. Easier than guessing distances.

You speak the truth. It’s all fun and games until the buddy drag. Though I’d still rather take the CFT - by the time your body realizes it’s in pain for each event, you’re already halfway done.
Good call, I’ll have to remember that for next time. Someone else set up the workout so it was just “to that arbitrarily placed cone and back.”

14 Apr Log: Decent day, went out for some drinks in the evening but got strength in beforehand.
Strength:
OH Press: 4x4 and 2x3 @ 70 lbs. These felt smoother than last week.
Rear delt flyes: 1x8, 1x6 @ 20 lbs
DB shrug: 2x8 @ 120 lbs (60# DBs)
DB hammer curl: 1x8, 1x7 @ 50 lbs (25# DBs)
DB OH tricep extension: 2x8 @ 40 lbs
Hang leg raise: Forgot ab straps so used the leg raise station. 5x15
Standing calf raise: 3x15 @ 50 lbs
Nutrition: Not fantastic today - missed my protein target because I wasn’t paying close enough attention. Had two glasses of wine and a beer while out with some friends.
15 Apr Log: Felt exhausted after staying out later than intended and not sleeping well at all, but then got a faster run in than I’ve had in awhile. The body is a fickle thing.
Cardio: Four miles, pouring rain. Had to stop halfway to use a random restroom (it happens, ok?); told myself not to pay attention to pace at all, just run. Ended up with a 9:20 min/mi average, and first mile was 9:10. Faster than I have been, especially since I wasn’t trying for any particular pace.
Nutrition: About 20 grams short for protein (153g today) - ramen is tasty, but not high in protein. Short on carbs and fats as well- when I’m trying to eat healthy but not counting, I tend to under-eat.
16 April: Trigger sessions, meant to run but time got away from me. Meal prepped though, cleaned the house (my husband’s sister and mom are visiting this week), and went through the house using colored stickers to mark what’s going on our last two pack-outs. So, a productive day in other ways. Nutrition was decent, over-shot fat macros thanks to a leftover ribeye at lunch, but stayed under total calorie goal and hit protein target.
