I know these are pretty light weights, but I am finally getting comfortable with the exercise. Practice every day in CFWU with my kayak paddle helps!

I’m not even gonna move a toe voluntarily. This rest day is better than sex. I hope my body recovers by tomorrow. I got 4 spots on left hand torn and 2 spots on the right. I can see couple of spots starting to bubble. Loving every minute of it!

He was just a man doing a job. A job whose primary attribute was self-restraint and self-composure, not for his own sake, but for those whom he lead by example. A job whose objective could be boiled down to the single understatement, as he did at the Hot Gates on the morning he died, of performing the commonplace under uncommonplace conditions.

Deadlift Warmed up with 45lb, then 135, then 225
1-1-1
315-335-355

Then
Lynne
5 rounds
Max benchpress, 185lb (BW +15lb)
Max pullups

BP: 16, 10, 7, 7, 6 = 46 reps total
PU: 14, 12, 11, 12, 10 = 59 reps total

Rested around 5 minutes between rounds. Benchpress was scary with no spotter so with a spotter I probably could have forced out a few more reps on the earlier sets. The 4th round I failed on my 8th rep of the bench but luckily I had put up the long catch bars so I was able to roll it down to my stomach and then situp and get out from under it. Atleast it gives you extra motivation to get the bar up.
