Notes
*I am back to using belt. Will be using it for 85%+.
**Weight feels good. I have to watch my left side with bench. "Chest up" cue is my ticket to the show. Need to pay attention to it.
***Right elbow is starting sending signals to my brain. I might need to give it a break by substituting pull-ups with rowing for the next block.

*I found a hill close to me place. Real woody path with dirt, tree roots, rocks and leaves. Seem to be long one but I need to explore it when it dries out. I hope that it will keep me breathless for the rest of the year starting late summer. Feeling happy![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
**My first attempt to build the sandbag was pathetic. I have to redo the while thing.. Dang!![Embarrassed :oops:](./images/smilies/icon_redface.gif)

Re: Barkadion TB Logs
Hey Bark! A couple questions...
-Where do you buy your bands at? I notice you use them in your routines.
-Also, how's the lean and mean template going?

- I have bought set of Iron Woody bands while ago based on Ross Enamait recommendation:
https://ironwoodyfitness.com/product-category/bands/
I've been using it for years and years with great success. Highly recommend it.
- M&L is going fine so far. I have to admit that I "miss" squatting 3/week but recovery is much better with M&L. Also, I pushed my forced progression aggressively this block and M&L seems to be ideal approach for jump like that. Well.. so far
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
I am planning to ditch DL for my next block as it will be BB with strength oriented focus.
Overall, I have a feeling that M&L will be my favorite setup once I master it's dynamic and get used to it completely. I am strong believer in benefits of reasonable customization as long as you stay main course

Hope that helps!

That is good to hear. I may go that route for continuation when I finish my base building. Glad it is going well for you. I enjoy reading your log. Keep getting after it.
