Chilean sea bass is my favourite, but itās too pricey and terrible for the environment to justify
That comes in packets?

No, it comes in filets, which I defrost, salt and throw into a toaster oven
Iām assuming this is a deviation of your normal weight x reps notation rather than doing 100 reps with 8lb dumbbells. I think the mental imagine of the 8lb dumbbells is more entertaining though
Edit: apparently not a deviation, Iām still amused by the image
@anna_5588 I suppose I donāt understand the relevance, haha.
@heretolog I was about to say I donāt remember logging weight x reps, haha. But I HAVE repped out some 5s before.

When you said ahi, I thought you meant ahi tuna filets
You know itās a serious workout when I have to scroll twice just to read it all.

@dagill2 No joke: sometimes the hardest part is logging the damn thing, haha.

Notes: Still feeling out of my element training in a commercial gym with a mask on, and it reflects in the chins, but considering Iāve been running this day with an axle up until this point the barbell made it easy mode. Kept rests short to make it worse, and it allowed the training day to work. Going to get in the rest of the daily work and some conditioning later.
Kept weight light on the cable rows and just focused on the squeeze, like Iāve been doing with the axle rows. Seems to be having a good effect.

PM WORKOUT (1430)
30 GHRs
20 GHR sit ups
40 bodyweight reverse hypers (done off the GHR)
Tabata KB swings w/70lb bell
Tabata assault bike
Notes: Finished up the daily work and played with the new toys. Swings with the 70lb bell are a different animal. I built a swing handle that I donāt ever use: I may need to break it back out sometime. Legs were dead for the assault bike.
Feeling a bit on the low side. Genuinely wonder if going without red meat is at play. I may get some grain fed while Iām out just to get in some manner of iron.

PM WORKOUT PART II (2000)
100 six count burpees
7:27
Notes: Got a new PR of 56 without stopping and then felt like the world hit me. Actually googled and found out that there is a 1300ā elevation difference between where Iām at and where Iām from, which explains a lot of how Iāve been feeling so āoffā. However, getting some steak in me for dinner also seemed to help, so maybe a few factors at play. Training a lot, but those 100 burpees tend to speed up my recovery after deadlift day.
EDIT: In retrospect, I havenāt been TOTALLY without red meat this trip: I snack on zero carb beef jerky everyday, but itās still not enough to really be considered a serving of meat.

Did you have to wear a mask? Or did you do the burpees in the hotel room?
Hotel room.
For some quid pro quo, you interested in answering the question I left for you in your log?

I still have lumps on both shins from my power clean and free fall. My shins arenāt used to it - they seem to be quite sensitive to pain. It throws off my mental game every time I hit one now. And the lump sticks out just enough to kiss the bar on deads.

A few years of Muay Thai will fix that right quick! Although stones and log go a long way too, haha. I totally didnāt register it at the time: just looked down and saw. Although thatās also the side I had surgery on, and my shin was legit numb for like 3 years after that. I remember my surgeon just shrugging at the 6 months check up going āWell thatās probably as good as itās going to getā

Notes: Had a little more time this morning, so got in all the daily work and some conditioning as well. Flew through the bench work: barbell just feels too easy. Short rests helped. Definitely need to remember more pause reps as I go along: always an easy way to add some difficulty.
Dropset was solid. I may remember that super lightweight burnout for the future. Got a lot of blood into the shoulders.
Those poundstones with the barbell were a different animal. Glad I could make the transition that way. Lends credit to my ideal that I can add some weight to the axle soon.
