Not done with the backlog of updates. I've been training a lot.

After lifting on Tuesday I went to Muay Thai. Was a big class comprised of young kids in gis who were transitioning from some other class. Interesting experience. Had to pull back a drastic amount which probably fared well for technique.

Wednesday I went on a jog, followed by 2 rounds of shadowboxing with a breath-restriction mask (this thing is hell).
Went on a night hike Saturday night with friends for about 45 minutes.

Mat pulls off of 2 pavers on Monday with 535. Felt really strong, but on rep 2 I felt a painless twinge in my back so I cut it short to be safe. No pain afterwards. Moved on to 335x2x5 box squats and a third set for 6, just because, as well as Hise shrugs with the same weight for 20. Finished up with dumbbell lunges of 50 lbs in each hand for as many reps as I felt like doing without bothering to count.

Tuesday I strict pressed 205x1 and dumbbell pressed 115 in my right arm, a move up from 100. Did 125 in my left and super-set all that with rows using the same weight.

I also rebought these for the third time since 2012. Forearm pump was downright nasty.
