Food and Fatigue
PS Vibram Fivefingers were really better in weighted box jumps than anticipated.
All that crap on shoes really ain’t necessary. Go figure.

PS after nap 4 x 20 snatches Blue Dumbell from kettlebells.com.au loaded with 10 kg of iron shot from the package deal.
Then 10 mins alternate arm clean and press. Frustrated no.

Workouts have been flat lately needed something to get a bit of fear. T-muscle had the NSW mile. Sounded great, and nearly aerobic, used a 40 kg weight vest and 30 kg of chain dragged behind. I had walked a mile, so gritted my teeth and got going. The burning started at 70 metres, and did’t stop. I chose a route away from people so no one could see me cry, also so there was no assistance and no circuit going near the car. The resolve to finish in one go, because once you stop you would want to lie down and rest. It felt great to finish the mile. The gear was thrown in the car quickly as i felt near collapse.
Training partner called single leg(Bulgarian) squats challenge, pain or what. All that I wanted after was food and sleep, sweet sleep.

Had an agreement with the park authorities not to tear up the wet grass so no dragging pushes or throwing.
Wanted to try something for a while.
I did a few months of heavy Kettlebell work 48 kg x 2 and found my squats and deadlifts had dropped by 30%.
So to try activating more leg and glut muscles we did a weight vest work out, with kettlebells.
