I have a cut on my left foot.  Trying the get ups pulled on the scab too tightly.

Third day in a row.  I can tell that the Zercher’s are hitting the gut.

Bloody Nose.  You try lifting with a Kleenex shoved up one nostril.

Starting way at the bottom in a very easy fashion.  I feel so out of it.  Fatigued from hard work, stress, lack of good sleep, and poor diet.  The best way to dig myself deeper is to overdo it, so I’ll start in the hole.

The first five sets my shoulders ached.  The last five my back.  Wind was good!

Good snap in the hips.  My 'girdle' felt kind of pumped. No too winded really.

Swings
24kg
5/5/5/5 x 15

In St. Louis last week.  Just an easy "bridge" workout to get back into the 'swing' of things. (Got a new boss the week before and wound up working late most of the week.)

Swings
28 kg
5/5/5/5 x 13

260 reps

15:06:99
Peak: 160 bpm
Avg: 141 bpm
Min: 92 bpm
Recovery: 25 bpm
In zone:  13:34
Calories: 334

I'm using a different heart rate monitor than I'm used to.  I used to use a Polar which gave me so much more information.  However, I burned through a couple trying to change the battery.  I just don't see going through the expense of shipping etcetera.  Timex however does let me change batteries.  It also has a feature that will beep when I go outside my target zone.  This will be useful when I start training for mitochondrial genesis.

Interesting that I hit 334 calories.  That's the equivalent of the two Mountain Dews I had today.  Ten of those type of workouts and I'll have burned off a pound ;-)

The 28 kg is tough on my grip...I felt it slipping towards the end.  I've really regressed.
