Workout Journal Notes

Ended “Very High Load” week on a great — and exhausting — note.

In true “Maximum Strength” fashion, I used the maximum weight of my PowerBlocks for two exercises today, completing every rep, though barely on the last few.

It was perfect because not only did “Very High Load” week sneak up on me, but it also completely flew by, leaving “Very Low Load” week to look forward to already.

I’ll be hitting speed camp in the morning, and I may be breaking out the ColdGear ninja suit again, depending on what the weather says tonight.
