AM Results
A: 185 x 4/175 x 4/x4/x4 - that 2 second pause in the bottom is nasty. Focused on staying very tight in the bottom. This movement felt very hypoxic to me.. I held my breath for the entire movement - 3 seconds down, 2 second hold and then 3 seconds up.. for me that's alot of time without oxygen under heavy load with only a few seconds to catch my breath and start the next rep. I can see where that underwater work would transfer over to my land work.

B: Three sets with 2 1.5pood KB(53 pounds) and then one set at 20kg or 44 pounds -
16 steps for each set - Unbroken/Unbroken/12-4/Unbroken
These were very nasty! Breathing heavy after each set.

PM Results
Thought I did a good job on pacing out the 70, 80 and 90% efforts. Not a very efficient runner so these types of workout are tough... I was able to achieve pretty good pose form for about 200m on each run but as I fatigued I lost form and I was trying to stay on pace. I look forward to improving this as this area is probably the biggest of my many weaknesses!
70% - 1:35
80% - 1:30
90% - 1:25
80% - 1:28
70% - 1:33
Calves are pretty sore but feel pretty good other than that. Looking forward to resting tomorrow!
