Took yesterday off.
Today I did day 2/week 1 of fighter. Everything felt good.
Pull-ups- 4 sets of 5, BW
OHP- 4 sets of 5, 115lbs
Squat- 4 sets of 5, 190lbs
Dead- 4 sets of 5, 275lbs
I'm going to drop GTG pull-ups until after xmas, as my holiday schedule is pretty wacky (like everyone else, I'm sure) and I want to save my mental bandwidth on ensuring I get all my Base Building work in as RX'ed.
"Fobbit Intervals" tomorrow!

Re: What is Steel, Compared to the Flesh That Wields It?
I did fobbit intervals today; honestly, I think I made a bit of a hash of it. I used the 50 lb KB for two handed swing (20 reps), used 200 reps jump rope as "rest" interval, and the 35 lb KB for the 10/10 snatches.
After the first two rounds, I realized the jump rope was tiring me out more than the KB work, so I started jogging around my yard for the rest intervals, then switching between the two every other round. I also didn't have my phone (lent out to a visiting American without a Euro cell plan), so I didn't have a countdown timer, just the stopwatch on my wristwatch.
AAR comments;
- go heavier on the KB work. 50 lb for the snatches, maybe 70 lbs for swings (garage gym has 20, 35 and 50 lb KB, plus and adjustable swing handle).
- make sure I have my 2 min interval timer.
- maintain the jump rope/yard jog switch every other round; I liked skipping rope, even if it wasn't much of a rest interval.

Fobbit intervals. 1 million times better than last week. Everything felt really good. Conducted in my front hall/mud room.
Used 50lb KB for the 20x two-handed swings and the 10/10 snatches. Did jump rope for the two min "rest intervals".
Jumping rope is something I think is cool, and I'm ok at, but I'd like to get even better at.

First day of week 8, base building. Ran 55 min, 5.8 miles.
My lovely wife got me a GPS watch for xmas, so I can accurately track how far I run during my workouts. It's a pretty cool toy.
