BB Bent Over Row @ 75#

AbMat Situps @ BW
KB Suitcase DL @ 15kg
Woah momma.. Did I ever underestimate this one.. Figured it would be easy since it was a 2x20. Round one was 7:09, round 2 was 8:12.
Side note: Trying the power cleans at 75# was not a good idea. And that only took me 10 reps to figure out
Unscheduled rest day - it's been a long week with the neck and a small bout of "intestinal discomfort" likely brought on by changing probiotics. Feeling like I'm overly tired and worn out, so taking an unscheduled rest day today.
After wearing my tracker for a few weeks into BB, I realized I'm still well within the low to mid-50's for RHR and my HRV has been doing exceptionally well. Decided to switch to running Operator from here on out with Bench, Squat, Deadlift and Pull-Ups running a very conservative training max for this cycle.
Monday, June 24th
Squat 5x5 @ 195#
The first 2 sets felt grueling, sets 3-5 felt light and the weight popped up
Bench 5x5 @ 145#
Felt magical, but very light
Pull-Ups 3x5 @ BW
Ahh, my nemesis... Despite this being a weaker area for me, the first four sets felt and looked great. Fifth was a little struggle on the third rep. Way better than ever though
Operator Week One, Day 2, Cycle 1 Tuesday, June 26th
Fobbit Intervals
30 minutes on the rower, 2HSwings @ 32kg, snatches at 24kg. Ended the last set of swings by taking a shot at 1HS with the 32kg.
Thoughts: I've never been able to consistently snatch the 24 with my left arm, but last night felt light, which was awesome. 1HS with the 32kg were tiring, but no way I could have done that a few weeks ago!

This was going so well until the wheels came completely off in the fifth round... I think I was still sweating well after my shower. Fun times, can confirm it's appropriately named.
Thanks @VenomousCoffee! Unfortunately, that ended up being a huge mistake going to that team. So, just over a year later, back on the TB Train!
Coming off 2 months off resting a repetitive stress injury to the wrist and starting out with Operator for a block to rebuild strength. Then planning to move back into base building when it starts to warm up.

Notes: Bench felt good, almost too light. Squats felt horrible.. Need to remember to keep a wider stance. Pull-Ups - 5 Second Negative start from Chin over Bar. Swings felt OK, but weight felt right.
Sleep is much better now, even though I'm back on 3rd shift, stress levels are much better and I feel better than I have in years. I guess even though I've been out of LE for 15+ years, my body never adjusted
