LSS: jog x 30 minutes

Hello! I'm a 37 year old male, 6'1" and 220 lbs, working in conservation law enforcement. I had a fitness wake-up call earlier this year, when a fast hike up a mountain with a medical bag left me gasping and basically useless when I got to the patient. Since I had trained a bit with kettlebell...

I reset the Squat weight to the bar + 10 lbs, and I'll do the same with the other l...

I think I needed at least one more warmup set on the squat, and my form is still probably bad. I'll deload it to 140 next time, and post video for feedback. Didn't have time to record lifting form this morning. Assist Chinups need more assist, I'll use my TRX heavy band next time. I don't know what...

50 minute LSS jog, with about 5 total minutes of walking sprinkled in there. Felt dehydrated today.
