LUNCHTIME WORKOUT
Tabata high handle trap bar pulls 135
Tabata KB swings (double and single arm switching off in between rounds) 45lbs
Notes: Getting in the quick stuff before work. Lunch was 3 slices of that organic turkey in a sandwich using 2 slices of keto friendly bread, a smear of miracle whip light mixed with siracha sauce, lettuce, tomato and pickle.
Whatās your opinion on kimchi?
The few times Iāve had it, I enjoyed it. But it tends to be one of those āoff limitsā foods in the house due to smell. My father-in-law keeps it well stocked at his place though, due to his heritage, so I eat it when Iām there.
Yeah my wife HATES the smell of kimchi. I tried eating it exclusively outside but it still manages to permeate through the house. Health benefits donāt outweigh divorce haha
Iām so glad my wife doesnāt mind the smell and enjoys the flavour.
EDIT: She says the same thing about me too.
Kimchi is the best!
If you think Kimchi has a strong smell, you havenāt tried pickling garlic and daikon 
Or durian.
My kid has my wifeās nose too. I have to constantly answer the question of āWhatās that smell?!ā with āDoes it matter?ā
Frozen durian doesnāt smell too bad and tastes like ice cream
Most frozen things tend to not have a smell.

CONDITIONING
Tabata boxing rounds on BAS
Notes: Another day without blacking out on the press. Biggest victory. I liked how this day rolled out. Cleaning the first rep of the press added a slight element of challenge, and then once the press was done Iād just drop the axle to the floor and immediately start rowing it. Good way to make light weight feel heavy.
Forgot to log yesterday, but Iāve continued my tradition of listening to āThe Downward Spiralā while starting a new program. Today ran all the way to the end of the CD, to give perspective on training time.
Plan to hit Grace later today, since my axle is already loaded to 136. Date night tomorrow: plan on a huge burger and a lot of walking.
Until I read your training notes, I definitely wondered if you were going truly bananas and doing a row-clean-press complex for every rep.
I once deadpanned āthe smell that surrounds youā to answer that question and it was not as funny for my S/O as it was for me.
@kdjohn It might happen on the 5s week, haha. Iām trying to make each week uniquely challenging until I canāt, and then I can start peeling away the unneeded difficulty. I use a similar approach with nutrition: add junk until I canāt, then take it away.
@mr.v3lv3t I can imagine, haha. I was a wrestler, so no smell offends me at this point.
LUNCHTIME WORKOUT
Axle Grace
3:30 (5 second PR)
Notes: One of those workouts where I didnāt want to do it, spent a few minutes looking at my shoes, and then ended up smashing it. I imagine I was primed from pressing earlier in the day. Cool to be seeing progress. Also realized my schedule is borked and I havenāt done my 100 burpees, so I think those will feature on Sunday.
Whatās your food budget?
I donāt employ a budget.
Asked differently: do you have an approximation for how much you spend on food during say, a week/month?
I genuinely donāt. My wife handles all the finances.

Notes: Crushed it. With this being a first thing in the morning workout, Iām amped. 400 felt heavy as hell, but it moved. Iām in an interesting place with this program, as my short range conditioning is the best itās been in probably ever, so the BBB sets really arenāt terribly challenging, but the 5s pro looms over me. Iām all reps and no singles these days. That said, I canāt get too cocky, as this is just the 3s week and I still have the 1s week ahead of me. And I like to remind myself as I rack the bar on the 5th set that, were this Deep Water, Iād only be halfway done.
Plan to run Fran later today to get in my 50 chins and get some restoration going to my legs.
Employing some flexibility with the diet again today. Since I plan to eat a VERY high fat dinner (with lots of saturated fats from not great sources), I cut out my āthou shaltsā just for today. Went egg whites instead of whole eggs, turkey bacon instead of beef, no butter, no avocado. Plan to cut out the chocolate and nuts as well, stick with just lean protein sources until dinner, then gorge and call it a day. Kinda Jamie Lewis āApex Predatorā but not really.
Good to see Iām not the only one.
Happy wife happy life and all that, haha.
