Have worked 32 hours over the last two days, got off around midnight. Got to bed at 1, got up at 4:30, felt surprisingly good.
1/11 decided to press because I thought I’d be too drained to pull or squat well
Clean and strict press, clean each rep
6 pull ups between each set
Barx5
95x4
135x6,6,6,6
Clean first rep only
135x8,6,4 and long hold
115x10
Sandbag carries, weighs approximately 250 lbs.
3 40’ runs
People finally noticed that I was running with something heavy and could use some more space.
5 100’ runs
AMRAP pull ups, 6 minutes, sets of 5, full extension at bottom and pause at top
47 in 6 minutes
Boooooooo, I think 300 pushups and 150 pull ups should both be doable within 10 minutes.

No training today. Have put in about 50 hours at work as of last night, will probably hit 70+ before Friday is over. Will probably work thru today up to Friday morning-ish then go to bed for a while. Almost caught up. Blehhhh
On the plus side, I’m not exempt from overtime.
Actually, I’m going to see how many band pull aparts I can do in a day. Should be interesting how tomorrow feels.

Plans to pull and do loaded carries tomorrow. Should be a fun day
Did you have any DOMS from these the following day? Pretty sure that many reps of anything would lead to some muscle soreness for me.
Minimal, if any. Some localized swelling though. It was more like mild stiffness that what soreness usually feels like for me.
Soreness for me only really comes from doing things that I haven’t done in a while. For example the front squats lately have made me pretty sore, even though I’ve only done 25-30 wprking reps over 2 training sessions.
1/16 pulls and carries
Lower back didn’t feel awesome this morning, so the plan changed a bit.

1x800ish ft.
This was absolutely horrible. So hard to breathe while holding a bag.
Are these consecutive? As in hanging from the bar for a full 2.5mins?
This is awesome. Things like this separate the boys from the men.
Each pull up was individual. Sorry to disappoint.
You made up for it with the 800’ 250lb sandbag carry…I don’t even understand. My 200lb(ish) sandbag walk for 100’ was awful…
What made it better was this awkward hip forward posture every once in a while in order to give me some space to breathe more normally. That and continuing to move.

25’s for 100 total reps. Took somewhere between 12-14 sets. Set 1 was for 20, and it went downhill fast from there.
Pushups, AMRAP in 10 minutes
140. Was on pace for 200+ but at minute six my triceps decided otherwise.
Made an amazing dietary discovery the past week. Ive replaced a gallon of milk with a half gallon of kiefer. No more dairy bloating, and I seem to be digesting everything better. Energy levels are better, observations show testosterone levels are higher, and I’ve been less sore the day after training even with higher volume. Very excited and hoping things continue in this fashion.
Adopted a dog yesterday. Skipped training to go home and check on him. I didn’t have a crate so I had him tied in the laundry room. He chewed through the rope and ate my blinds. At least he left the counters alone.
He then bolted as soon as I opened the door after a deer, and I chased him for 45 minutes or so in foot deep snow. That counts as training.

I now have a dog and cat. Here’s photos of said dog and cat. Making natural enemies tolerate each other is about as difficult as expected, but we are making progress.

Is it the dog not liking the cat or vice versa? I got two kittens after I already had a dog and they hated him at first but eventually just made friends themselves over time.
That’s a cute looking dog though just have to deal with its puppy behaviour for a while.
