Woke-up and did 40 burpees, then 50 wrist curls and 50 reverse wrist curls. Elbow was angry at me the past two days after that overhead workout but it feels much better after wrist curls.

After breakfast I headed to a park close to the office and trained my coworker with two 15 lb kettlebells I picked up recently. While she was dying on her rest, I hit 23 neutral-grip chin-ups on the monkey bars. I was surprised at how easy these came while weighing 220 lbs, and could have done more.

Also, yesterday while training the client I meet at my home gym I got in axle Romanian deadlifts with 325x15, followed by 10 shrugs. It had unexpectedly started pouring so when I set the bar down mud splashed all over me, which we both got a laugh from. She works in park services so she's an outdoor person and isn't afraid to train in bad weather or dirt. I found someone as unhinged as me to train.

 A little while later while I was cleaning up, I picked it up while passing by the bar and did 20 shrugs.

I'm pleased with how I'm growing. Just looking like a much stockier, thicker version of myself, but in the right places.
