My legs were destroyed from Wednesday’s lunges. If I ever have to lunge 400m again, I will quake in fear. At least I have the blue band to remind me to HTFU.
Today was the first day I ever tried the split jerk. It’s an interesting concept. The bar taught me a couple of important lessons. (I didn’t get my chin out of the way a couple of times.) The KBS and HSPU felt hard after the jerk complex.
My legs feel so much better after this workout.
I’ve been eating more carbs because I was getting too lean. It’s amazing how fast the body adapts. I’m back up to #195

Some people have been asking me what I’m training for. Others have asked me why I’m learning some new things. Those who know me well know the answers. For the rest, I offer this quote:
