These plus the holds, even at these low weights, has my backside from my hamstrings to my neck more fatigued than anything in recent memory.

5-6 miles of XC skiing with a 30ish lb pack. Fatigue was significantly less than I thought, which was nice.

My only primary Physique related goal, code named “Operation Built-In Travel Pillow” seems to be progressing. I want to be able to sleep comfortably anywhere.

Thinking of running something like this for conditioning . Getting to 135x100 under 5:00, then increasing weight and starting again.

It’s not as bad as it sounds when the set is stretched out over a few minutes. I’m not racking the bar, but definitely resting more than moving. However as the weights get heavier, I’m assuming it will be significantly more difficult.

Much harder than expected. Want to get to 150 or so in 5 minutes, then potentially increase weight. Hoping this will help build some work capacity in my triceps and shoulders.
