24 kg speed swings, 17 min, walking lunges, parallel pushups, rear delts



This was a tough one today. Just not taking enough time to 'gear down' mentally before I hit the gym for 17 min straight of as high intensity reps as I can. Have to make sure to use the drive home on Wednesdays to really get in the zone before i do these high volume workouts.

If I don't, I waste too much time in the first 5-7 min getting my head out of my ass. right now I'm working right up til I hit the gym and that's gotta stop. the drive home is a perfect 30 min transition that I'm not taking advantage of. now I will

It wasn't that bad and power output wasn't that low but I've done better. but the good news is that even though it was a tough day it still got done and it was ok. Started double breathing about 7- 8 minutes in and that's never a good sign. That made it much easier though and around 11 minutes I settled down mentally and got to a strong place.
I'm a slow warmer upper :)

Dr. Loren Cordain, and Mark Sisson changed my life, with their Paleo, Primal diet, even before I started training a year ago.
I feel SO much better now.
And you really should not give up red wine! :o) I'm not giving up my 10% in my coffee. :o)
