  • General: BB complexes have officially proved they will be a nice complement to my training. I was gassed after the first one and was so shocked I couldn't get through at 145# on either set. Doing these sets on a regular basis will make my forearms so strong...can't even imagine. They gave me a nice pump too. I got 8 pretty solid squats on my high rep set, maybe had more in the tank but I was happy with 8 and I didn't want to risk the adductor bothering me again which was a good call in my opinion. These squats are getting pretty easy, I'm looking forward to being back in the 300's on my work sets for the first time since summer really soon.
  • Nutrition: Really good. I'm looking better already, the key will be to maintain what I'm doing.
  • Body: I felt decent today, forearms and calves were sore from double unders.
  • Sleep: 9 hours. Been sleeping good recently
  • Reflections: Tomorrow I'll press and hit a tough conditioning session. I need to not cherry pick my WOD's so much or I'll turn out like I did 2 summers ago- under conditioned, injured and a skinny girl. Gonna make it happen.
