Another full house for Monday morning. Only 3 weeks until we will be in the new gym. I was thinking this morning that Brian is really going to have to yell loud or get a Mr. Microphone in the new gym. It’s so big that people might have trouble hearing. Maybe we can find a Mr. Microphone on Craigslist.

Felt really slow on the warm up this morning….until I realized I did 3 rounds instead of 2.

Will was able to hold onto first place by a couple of seconds. Conner and Stacia were on his tail.

I felt good about my performance. I feel I had good form on most of my push/jerks.

I dropped down from 135 lbs to 115 lbs for the push jerk. That was a wise move. Did 225/195/165 single jump ropes in place of double unders.

Eating—On track. Got a pound of Canadian bacon this morning that will last me several days as meat for breakfast.

What hurts today—Biggest issue now is the right elbow tendonitis. I have got to back off on pull ups. It is not getting any better and the pain is starting to impact other things I do other than the pull ups. Right heel still causes issues first thing in the morning but is better than it was. Have only had one headache in the past few weeks.
