Wonder if Stephen Hawkins might have a ride to lend me coz there is no way I am walking tomorrow. Was completely knocked out for a good while after today’s first “real load” session..

Not happy with my squat form lately so decided to take “my” double dip versions in to play. Both in Squats and Press each set felt better technically and I focused a lot on max depth in the second dip and being explosive out of the hole. Box Jump was just fun to throw in there to force my legs to recover faster after a set. Front Squats high reps is dreadful, period.

Oh, and no Mami, I have not started sacrificing animals to get over my issues with life, but I did today overcome my terror for Wallballs! Found a breathing technique that worked really well for me, focus on breathing out quickly, and then make sure to take a full breath before the ball comes down on you again. First two sets really easy, last painful. GHD’s was way harder than I remember them and I suspect that asides from walking like a cowboy the next coming days, I will also having trouble getting out of bed and might have to strangle anyone who tries to make me laugh…

Good session today, rest day tomorrow and today I have eaten REALLY good for the first time since.. well I can’t even remember when my meal timing, quality and quantity was this good the last time. Am I maybe seeing the light in the tunnel and starts finding my way back to where I wanna be?

Namaste!
