Chin Ladder 3x1234, (1,2)

COMMENTS

• General: I was so absolutely sore from the front squat medley that my leg power sucked in the run today. I didn't expect to PR from the get-go but I was pleased with sub 6.
• Nutrition: Good. I've been eating a lot more protein. I ordered another 10lb bag.
• Body: Pretty beat. My legs and lower back are really sore and I'm run down.
• Sleep:8 hours
• Reflections: Get a relaxing day tomorrow but 2 workouts with bikram yoga and a lot of shoulder/pressing work. Not too much going on with classes the next 2 days so I'll be really focusing on relaxing and taking some needed downtime.
