Day 1

Testing is over and I'm very excited to move forward into the first training block,

Mood/Health
I slept well last night, got up and helped with the kids and felt good going into the workout. I really like the Crossover Symmetry as a warm-up. I will gladly continue to add that to my warm-ups and cool down.

Results/Notes
A -The superset was very fun. Weights were:
      35/53
      53/63
      58/81
      63/86
      71/89

B - I kept the jumps pretty tight and went ~67% to start. I only got 4 reps on the last set. Left knee was feeling kinda valgus today so I was possibly cueing that a bit too hard. Overall I'm pleased with my efforts.
     275/295/315/325/335/345(F)

C- 8:06 - Went unbroken until the 8 set of HSPU. Went 4/2/2 there and then it was 2/3 as much as possible. Really focus on not failing and getting back to the wall in a hurry. CTB were fine unbroken except that I slammed my chin into the bar somewhere in the 7 set.

PM Session - This was much more difficult than it looked on paper. It may be that my body isn't used to max efforts in this energy system. I was fine until ~2/3rd of the way down or 13-15 sec into the airdyne and felt like I hit a wall. Very good overall for me and a good lesson on keeping my breathing during max efforts. The Airdyne needs some batteries so cals weren't calculated.

and because I was reminded of this meme while I was at the gym today, I revisited it and had a laugh.
