Plans for FL-III?

Rest week, provided "Rest" means "Two nights of Karate"

Planning on following Lifter IV. That means Fatloss III and intervals, 5-5-5-6 if I'm mapping Met Overdrive correctly onto Lifter IV.

I hope to do intervals outside on the grass whenever I can manage it. Feels MUCH better than on the treadmill. Now to find my stop watch . .or buy another one.

The Logistical Nightmare moves from the B-workout to the A-workout. Giant Sets, not to mention 20 reps, gives me a reprieve from outgrowing my work weight room. Put me down as "I think I can make this work."

Specifics?
–My DL form has been crappy towards the end of my last set. Dropping that all the way back down to 135 and moving up S-L-O-W-L-Y.

–I've NEVER done explosive or clapping pushups. Good opportunity for me to fall on my nose

–I'm trying to progress through pullups. My last sets were with my "large" and "small" bands together under my knees. For the Giant Sets, I'm going to reset up to Large + Medium. Even with the bands, this is MUCH more difficult than bodyweight pulldowns on my current apparatus.

–I'm looking at adding some balance elements. Stay tuned.

–I'm probably not up to doing hanging leg raises. I'll start with the progression in the book and see where it goes.

More if I think of anything.
