weight: 196.2

Warmup Deadlifts: 45x5, 135x1

1A Deadlifts: 195x15, 195x15
1B Step Ups: 20x15, 20x15

2A 1 arm press: 35x15, 35x15
2B Close Grip Pulldowns: 102.5x15, 102.5x15

Reverse Crunches: 0x24, 0x24

After my last workout, I moved this to a 90 second rest between sets.
I did the first set of deadlifts with an overhand grip. I basically did 9 reps, reset, 3, reset, 2, reset, 1. Then I did my step ups. Then I used a mixed grip and still started losing it: 10 reps, 3, 2. Then on my last set of stepups, I did the first 15, rested for about 60 seconds, and did my last 15.

I was gassed and dripping sweat by that point.

The 1 arm presses are getting close to max. I'll start going up only 2.5# per. The close grip pulldowns... I might have to look for my straps for those guys. I had to reset my grip several times on both sets.

And then after that, I really didn't have the juice to do intervals. There was no way I was running. I walked for 10 minutes and went back to work.

Tonight, we go looking at a new house with enough acreage so we can put a barn on it. And then we get to move our horses onto our own property instead of having to board them.
