Tuesday morning
Incline Kb Bench
3xAMRAP - started with slow clean reps to feel the stretch then just did as many fast partial reps as possible.

Stair Master Sprints
20 sec sprint
10 sec rest
5 Minutes.

Hungry and cardio??? Holy, you’re going to take this comp down this year! Everyone else seems to be starting off a little slow so far.

But I’m just gearing up now, so keep your head up, Chris.

It’s a first for me. Ive never done both concurrently, funny enough, I’ve never been super lean either.

This time around, it’s mine. I have a stair master in my garage. No lack of cardio excuses Haha

Had to end it due to a slight emergency. No worries, I hate chest day anyways.

Edit: little bit of an impulse buy, but Walmart has Kettle Bells on sale for $0.75 per lb. I bought two 60lbers, which will be great for chest and shoulders. They’ll be here Monday, which is perfect for my next chest day.

Wednesday Morning
Did some shit. Don’t remember.

Went to Target with the wife after work and got suckered into going out to eat. We never eat at chain restaurants, but did anyway tonight. Food sucked donkey dick, but I drank at dinner. So apparently it’s a rest day. Gonna drink some Japanese whisky now and hopefully not set myself back too far.

Well, shit. I’ve come down with what everyone has. Hopefully, I lose some weight while sick.

Didn’t workout this weekend. Felt horrible. Back at it today with Deadlifts.

3x345 - this felt heavier than it should have.
2x385
0x405 - chalk this up to still feeling shitty

I had a burger and fries for lunch cause the boss wanted to grab lunch with me. Have felt fat and disgusting all day. Other than that meal, I ate great… hoping tomorrow I feel 100%
