Workout:

Downwind foiling 2.5 hours

This was tough with smoked arms from the day before.  Took me a bit to feel calm and give controlled effort.  Caught a few good waves and that got me hooked again.  Super sore the next day through my shoulders and neck so I’m gonna take a rest day and hit my last workout tomorrow.  Thanks!

Struggled with the HS this week but my hands/wrists are a bit sore from farm stuff.  I could not go any heavier on the strict press with barbell, I was pretty maxed out at 85.  Increasing weights on the other two felt nearly maxed as well.  Upping weight on the second emom felt more heavy than moderate.  Arms were pumped after this one!  Went to shovel manure and definitely felt the pump.  Getting jacked ! ;). Thanks!

Legs were done at the end of this one.  I did the above parallel squats to just a light tap at a target this week and was able to do way more weight.  Box squats were at 135 was all I could manage.  They felt solid though, a bit slow on the last two reps.  Those double barrels at body weight are more than enough of a challenge for me, I want to bounce so bad!  And quads end up burning.  Everything else was uneventful.  Thanks!

Prioritizing gym time this weekend.  I really feel off when I don’t get my workouts in.  It just was an impossible string of days.  This was super fun.  Marc did it with me and it was probably 90 degrees out (really hot for us).  Felt great!  Thanks!

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!
