Day 38: **Tactical Barbell Pre-Base Building** What a crappy week. Finally got into the gym, but didn't have much time. Empty bar (45lbs) for all, except sit-ups (bodyweight only). 60s rest between each set. 2 circuits of: * OHP x30 * Bent-over row x30 * Squat x30 * RDL x30 * Situps x30 Only 2/3 of ...

**Tactical Barbell Pre-Base Building** I only had 30 minutes to work out, and I knew I needed at least an hour to do the full SE routine, so I just did some circuits as a "better than nothing" workout. Empty bar * OHP x10 * Bent-over row x10 * Squat x10 * RDL x10 * Situps x10 I got through...

If the feet don't hurt, call it a win. No matter how long you do this, there are always days that you won't feel like training, or that you are not at your best, or even that the workout sucks.

Day 34: **Tactical Barbell Pre-Base Building W5D6** 5 min warmup walk 12 rounds of: * 90s run * 60s walk Felt good overall. Challenging, but not crushing. Even a tad invigorating. Tried lacing my shoes a bit looser, and my feet felt fine. First few intervals of running, no problem. About halfway thr...

From a cardiovascular perspective, I felt fine. Sweaty and breathing heavily, but that's to be expected, and nothing I couldn't handle. But my feet hurt during the running part. I'd feel like I really wanted to stop running, but toughed it out until it was time to walk. Then they'd feel better duri...

Day 33: **Tactical Barbell Pre-Base Building W5D5** Empty bar (45lbs) for all, except sit-ups (bodyweight only). 60s rest between each set. 3 circuits of: * OHP x20 * Bent-over row x20 * Squat x20 * RDL x20 * Situps x20 Went surprisingly well.

Considering my s...
