  • Notes: Wow. To say that I have forgotten what a metcon feels like is an understatement...got a really good lung burn from this one. I think because most of my recent metcons have been limited to upper body I just haven't gotten the same effect. 185# is definitely a PR for 3 rep, I think my recorded max from last spring was 190#. I am still not quite where I want to be as far as my form being nailed down, and some of my reps felt a little unbalanced/inconsistent, probably due to my lack of benching in general. Would like to work that out before trying for a 1RM. I liked the scapula mob, especially getting the neck stretched out.
  • Sleep: 8 hours.
  • Nutrition: Felt a few effects of some junk last night today, but nothing too bad.
  • Body: Calves are extremely sore. I also had some upper glute soreness today out of nowhere. Hip flexor felt great throughout everything, very pleased. Right elbow got a little hot at the end of the metcon right after the dips, threw some ice on it when I got home and will massage tonight.
