I was going to deadlift tonight but decided to do some instinctual training (meaning I did whatever I felt like). I think I’ll be up for deadlifting tomorrow after a good night’s sleep.
5 rounds: no rest btw exercises and as little as needed between rounds

It’s like free period at school.
Can’t believe you guys are still getting snow.

Hey Minim. I think the snow is done for this season. Time to work on my tan.
I wish we had a taste of your cool weather down here. It’s been about 90 degrees for the high temp the past week and more. I’m not ready for the heat but it looks like I have no choice. Florida seasons went right from kind-of-winter to summer in a flash.

My knees are having a hard time keeping up lately. Has anyone tried any suppliments that actually helped with joint pain. I may buy some glucosamine-chondroitin-msm.

I was a low carb weakling tonight. 315 felt like a car on my back. So I dropped down and did reps. But on a positive I’ve lost 7.5 lbs in 8 days. Mission beach body is coming along nicely.
Solid work in here. Low carb does sap strength but it works for fat loss.
Sounds like the weight is dropping off dude. Keep up the effort its paying off.

I was going to do hill sprints for conditioning but after 2 sprints my son convinced me to go for a jog instead. Our road zig zags almost exactly 1 mile to the top. My wife picked us up at the top.

Is that ‘my wife picked us up in the car’ or ‘my wife picked us up off the floor’?
Nice work, pretty sure I couldn’t jog a mile downhill.

A mile never felt so long. I hope this doesn’t become a regular thing.
