Mat pulls (9)
565 x 8
Initially did 7, stood-up, then immediately thought I could get another so I quickly re-wrapped and grinded up an 8th. I'm counting it, I've rest-paused on the ground much longer than that.

ATG SSB squats
Worked-up to 240, 290 x 8

Alternating SSB lunges
150 x 16
Did these after deloading the bar from the squats and proceeding without rest.

Deep Bulgarian split-squats
45 lb plate x 8 each side
Just some knee prehab.

Slow ab wheel reps
5, 5
Pausing at the hardest point is always killer, makes planks feel like a vacation in comparison.

Ate extremely well on the trip, although I started running out of food on Sunday. Nothing dire but had to use a naaaasty meal-replacement carton shake before bed rather than just a straight protein shake. The two Chipotle orders I brought with me were life-savers, and I ate big at every restaurant we went to. The hotel was above a pub so good food was never far away during the day (ordered their amazing lobster bake on two separate occasions). Final meal was a massive feast at the best Indian restaurant I've ever been to. My efforts paid off as I felt fantastic throughout the weekend despite drinking and sometimes getting 6 hours of sleep.
