More bodybuilder type training. Squats felt really good. I love being locked into a deep back squat.
 
Yeah, I was in need of changing things ups. I started training for the fun of it again. I'll be moving soon, and I think I may start training submission wrestling again. I don't know if you were on the forum at the time, but I used to train and compete in that.
 
Very true. While I really enjoy the my quasi-powerlifter kind of training, I need a break from it now and then.

It felt great to be training again. I am cutting right now, and have been for almost a week. I feel better at around 190 compared to 210 like I am now. I want to get in better condition overall and perhaps get back into submission grappling again????? I miss competing.

Just some extra volume of BW chin ups. I always have a problem increasing my repping ability, so I will use Mondays to add some volume to stimulate my body.

5 minutes cool down 10/20

25 minutes total

Squats felt awesome. The form was spot on, and the each rep was very quick and snappy. I had an epiphany moment with the RDLs. First, back story: I've always had a bitch of a time trying to keep my balance on these. I always found it strange, as I have no issue with the Bulgarian squat. So today, I simply held the dumb bells in a neutral grip, and it made ALL the difference. I was able to stick my footing well, while moving appropriately and smoothly. Crazy. That small reduction in lateral weight displacement makes a huge difference. I'm pretty stoked about that, as I've had issues with single leg RDLs forever.

I was going to go 13/20 on the bike today for 20 straight minutes, as last session on the bike of 20 minutes @ 12/20 was a piece of cake. But for whatever reason, I could not muster the endurance today, 13/20 was killing me. I did light steady state and intervals instead.

In other news, farmer's walks trashed my forearms.
