Thanks! Once I wrap up BB, I'll do a block of Op/Black and see how it goes.

Day 98:
Max testing:

Chinups: 1

Deadlift: worked up to 185x2 (e1RM: 190).

Day 99:

HIC:

1.8 mi in 24:55

Day 100:

**Tactical Barbell Base Building W6D6**

Endurance

2.03 mi in 35:00. Overall, went well. I had slept poorly the night before, but it felt easy, and I even went 5 minutes more than the bare minimum. Feeling kind of good about this one.

Day 101:

**Tactical Barbell Base Building W7D1**

Max Strength

Chinups: 12x1

Well, I can only do one, so I decided to try this program https://www.artofmanliness.com/health-f ... s-routine/ . I don't know if the source is any good, but hopefully it at least gets me to 3 reps, and then I can try the Russian fighter program if I'm not getting good results.

Squat: 3x5, 85lb

OHP: 3x5, 65lb

Everything went OK. The chinups were a challenge (had to rest more than 45 seconds between some sets), but I managed.

Day 102:

**Tactical Barbell Base Building W7D2**

HIC

1.8mi in 24:35. Went well, felt good. Seems like I'm getting a bit faster compared to the last two HIC runs, so that's nice.

Day 102:

**Tactical Barbell Base Building W7D4**

Max Strength

Chinups: 12x1

Squat: 3x5, 90lb

OHP: 3x5, 70lb

Went fine. A nice, quick workout. The chins felt just a bit easier than last time, like RPE 8 instead of 9.5 (at least for the first set). Maybe next time I'll try doing multiples for as many sets, and then singles to get up to 12 total.

Day 103:

**Tactical Barbell Base Building W7D5**

HIC

1.8mi in 24:33. A nice run overall.

Day 104:

**Tactical Barbell Base Building W7D6**

Endurance

1.82mi in 30:00. Went fine.

Day 105:

**Tactical Barbell Base Building W8D1**

Max Strength

Chinups: 2,1,2 (started resting more between sets),2,1,1,1,1,1

Squat: 3x5, 100lb

OHP: 3x5, 75lb

Went fine. Knee popped a bit during the first set of squats. Not painful or anything (kind of cracking knuckles, but for the knee), but maybe a sign I should warm up a bit.

Day 106:

**Tactical Barbell Base Building W8D2**

HIC

1.8mi in 24:55. Went OK.

Day 107:

**Tactical Barbell Base Building W8D4**

Max Strength

Chinups: 3,2,2,2,1,1,1

Squat: 3x3, 110lb

OHP: 3x3, 80lb

Weight was heavy, but went well overall. Pleasantly surprised at how my chinups have increased so far.
