Really liked this one. Was pretty gassed the whole time. Could have timed my rest a little better, finished with 3 or 4 min on the clock. Used 225: 6-5-5-5-4. Did burpees with a max effort vertical jump at the end instead of box. Best part of the day is right when I finished my last set of 4, last rep was a grinder with a grunt on the end as I let my breath out that I'd been holding in...

Tyrone McBodybuilder: You! <pointing at me menacingly> Come here! 
Me: <totally gassed> What's up? 
T-Mac: Don't do that again. If you need a spot, just ask. I would have done it. That was scary. 
Me: What was scary? I didn't feel like my form was breaking or anything. 
T-Mac: That weight almost crushed you! 
Me: If I squat as deep as I can go I can set the bar down on the safety rack, that's what it's there for. 
T-Mac: It was scary. Don't do it. 
Me: Of course it was scary, I went beast mode on that mother fucker.


Dude looked legitimately pissed at me, he doesn't even work there though.  Had me perplexed my whole shower. I'd prefer to not think about jacked black dudes in the shower from now on...


Oh, but I did watch this sick KStarr video on external rotation of the femurs during squat/deadlift/everything setup. Basically instead of cueing myself with knees out I focused more on driving my big toes out through the floor like I was a paraplegic DJ trying to spin mad fresh beats with my feet. My foundation felt more solid than ever. Diggin' it.
