Swimming again feels great.

Lots of reps, have me a chance to emphasize form as well as go heavy.

Five by five front squats

Didn't get vey heavy, today was just about getting back under the bar.

125, 135, 160, 185, 200

Taiko over techno

First let me thank my running partner, Miichone, of the Walking Dead fame. Today Songza offered a WD themed choice I music, and when I chose the Miichone playlist it was Japanese taiko drums--all of it. Powerful, serious, & fast. 

That's not how I ran, but it helped.

8x440m with 2:00 rest between.

Didn't record splits, but smoked my legs.

There is something about five rounds that has a nice ring to it. Makes me want to so a championship FGB soon. Now there's a thought.
