Today went pretty well. Why? Carbs are magical. 🙂

Wife went to the Korean market yesterday and brought home goodness. I ended up clearing off 2 trays of gimbap for supper. Woke up looking super-full (muscles) — hooray for carbing up!

And then it carried over into the gym, being able to hit everything pretty well.

The BB shrugs are killing me. Give it a pause/squeeze at the top, 3 second eccentric, and oh yeah – keep your grip strong the whole time. Killer stuff. I’m actually enjoying these precisely because of the grip work.

I dropped the 4th set of pulldowns — just to reduce a bit of work. Recovery stuff, etc. I have been sleeping better the past few nights, so that’s good.

I didn’t do any farmers walks today. 😦 Rain and other logistics. So just 20 minutes on the elliptical.
