• General: Another day, another PR on bench. Pleased to see this going up. I couldn't box squat because of time constraints, but my back still hurt so much I couldn't have anyway. I liked the calf raises and will continue doing them once a week. I'm thinking about adding heavy farmer's walks into my Day 5 routine because we have the legit equipment at my gym and they would probably be good for all my goals. The ice plunge was the longest I've ever spent submerged and it really reduced the pain in my back for several hours.
• Nutrition: Good, 5 days strict
• Body: Back really, really hurt all day. Other than that I felt good.
• Sleep: 7 hours
• Reflections: Going long running tomorrow in the AM on the road. Hoping to crack 2-3 hours without deviating from paleo (bringing sweet potatoes with me). We'll see how it goes. I sort of feel like my day 5 routine is not strenuous enough, but I have yet to actually do the box squat because of problems both weeks. If I go through it next week with the squats too I will see how that goes and adjust from there accordingly.
