This is the third time I’ve worked out this week – which is a record for the last 2 months. I love the working wounded class – it actually makes me feel like I’m a part of something rather than having to figure out stuff on my own. And misery loves company – especially when it’s Kevin C.

Suitcase Deadlifts on 1 Leg
Warmed up to 75.
5×5
75-75-75-85-95

All things considered, pretty happy with this.

Pistol Volume
3 pistols on the minute for 20 minutes
Used the thin orange band for assistance. Seriously happy that I did 60 pistols in 1 day. I’m sold on the volume training concept.

I love September – it’s my favorite month of the year. Anniversary, Birthday, the return of College Football. And apparently now volume workouts can be added to the list of wonderful happenings in September. I did 20 strict pullups, albeit in 20 minutes – but I did them.

I hate being upside down more than I hate Michigan. And that’s really saying something.
