Got stuff driving/sitting all day for friend’s birthday thing.  Made me crazy by the time I got home in the evening!  Was so happy to get to workout.  Juggling is getting better, working on not walking forward/staying in one place.  Everything else felt great and really captured my focus.  Thanks!

Had a good handstand day rotating between using the wall to rebalance and headstand pike reps and cartwheels both ways.  It’s coming along.

Bench and strict press felt solid.  I feel like I’m gaining strength her, hitting numbers that were hard 10 years ago.  

DB press in the amrap was harder on the left, had to split them up.  

Thanks!

Did this after driving home from a winging weekend.  A series was tough, the split squats with 35’s were the hardest part.  The strongman stuff was tough too, the sandbags I’d say was the toughest.  Love this stuff though.  Sore the next day but not terrible.  Thanks!

Finally back at it.  I missed a day that was d/t way too much smoke in the air.  Then I worked 5/6 days and the one day off we foiled all day.  Foiling was amazing!  Really making some big skill improvements.  I’ve also been riding my horse in the late evenings as much as possible. 

Today I did the same weight as last time just to not overdo the soreness since it has been so long.  I felt really good.  Love the strongman stuff.  No issues.  Thanks!
