Squats: 5x5@200
OHP: 5x5@115

We had a snow storm Yesterday afternoon that shut the entire city down. I walked the 4+ mile round trip to get the training session done. I will definitely do that regularly in the spring and summer. I had a nice sweat roling by the time I got there, despite the cold.

I had not planned to use the Airdyne so much during "E" Sessions, but I have discovered that it is easier to get in/maintain target HR zone on the bike than while rucking. The only issue is that the seat is brutal on the ol' taint/gooch area. Pins and Needles set in at the 25:00 minute mark and give way to complete misery by 40ish minutes. I got these guys, hoping to fix the problem: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MT ... UTF8&psc=1

Any advice from you other Airdyne Warriors?

So you know how K. Black says that Base Building is about conditioning the body and the mind? Yeah. My mind got some conditioning with this one. I wanted to quit about 3 times. I didn't. It feels dumb to say out loud, but when it was over, I felt like I had won something - one of those "victory over myself" moments.

LOL...now I have to do it again tonight.
