This looked so gentle on paper but keeping it heavy made it a solid challenge.  A fun session.  Everything felt great.  Thanks!

We did some winging over the weekend, was feeling great for this workout.  It packed a punch :).  The partial front squats feel a bit awkward which kept me really thoughtful and form and tension.  Happy to have gone heavy on the box squats and not having to back off.  I just could not do good form on the double barrel’s with weight.  It was hard not to bounce even with just body weight.  Got a good leg burn and felt my low back working.  Legs were pretty used up by the last combo.  Next day my low back is a bit tight but not bad.  Thanks!

10 min amrap:

Ab cramps!!!


I was outside in the heat all day before doing this and I think I must have gotten pretty dehydrated.  By the time I got to the amrap my abs just would not quit cramping.  Couldn’t even do push ups.  Abs are even sore from the cramps the next day lol.  But, the rest of the workout went great!  Legs felt strong.  Grass had just been mowed and was way harder to pull the sled this week so much less weight.  Thanks!

Felt great this morning.  We went winging in the afternoon and this workout was a great combo with that.  Definitely sore the next day.  Those hover lunges are legit and have to be great for board sports.  Same with all the calf work.  Loved squatting a bit heavier and having it feel so good.  Thanks!

So good to get this time today.  Enjoyed all these movements and the challenge of them.  I did a ton of stuff around the farm after but feel great.  We had a big project working on fixing our round pen that has entailed a ton of shoveling, racking, and moving heavy wheelbarrows.  It’s been great but I think between that and winging/down winding and getting old ;), my hands and wrists have been really sore.  Especially in the morning.  I hope that’s not here to stay.  Saw a clip of you working on your gym floor!  I can sympathize ;).  Manual labor is sometimes just the best, especially for cultivating your own dreams.  Thanks!

Been doing a lot of manual labor around home again and noticing my hand are sore.  I think some of it is from down winding too.  But nothing to be done about it!  Could have gone out on the river today but I just wanted to be home and workout.  This felt great.  I’m sure I could get more wattage on a more robust day but was fun trying to go for it.  Thanks!

I needed to workout regardless of my lack of sleep.   I actually felt great and then kinda hit a wall by the C series.  Gotta keep moving to stay awake until bedtime and our farm projects have left me sore all over so this felt better than that.  Anyhow, loved all the creative challenges.  Box squats felt great.  I’m sure I will be sore.  Thanks!

I think the hardest part were the step ups again.  But everything was good and challenging.  Feeling some overall soreness the next day.  But we also did a ton of farm work after.  I love being strong for our projects.  Thanks!
