I hated every minute of training, but I said, ”Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.”

Seriously, this guy Rudy must be Einstein reborn.. Never have everything been so perfectly balanced in my training as now. If I feel strong, there’s a sh#tload of work to be done in the wod, if I instead as today feel completely smashed, the guy programs the lightest day so far. (Since I started the program that is).
Was even resisting the urge to watch the wod first thing in the morning, just didn’t wanna see any grueling metcon in there.
Felt really good to be working for speed and technique with these weights, all felt really strong and explosive. That said, haven’t done TGU’s in a very long time, and that definitely showed. Plan was to go for the 32 set 3, and maybe even the new 40kg beast at the last set, haha…
Did all sets with good pace, but was taxed every time, and sweated like I was doing a proper conditioning workout.
Eating better today, hopefully sleeping a lot tonight, (closing the window so I don’t have to fight mosquitos all night again), and then I should be ready for what seems to be a smashing day in the programming tomorrow. No ones knows of course, but looking at the comments, the experienced athletes sees today’s all strength work as a sign of something dreadful coming out of the gates tomorrow. Can we guess Amanda perhaps?
Namaste!
Amanda is not dreadful
