Yes, I'm here!

Between vacation and a week-long sickness, I got of rythym a bit. I did get back to working out last week, in not a little slowly. I feel much better now and even improved a lift today!

I've been working a lot on kettlebell stuff, checking form mostly. My HKC class is coming up soon! I've also started running in my minimalist shoes. I have Vibram Five Fingers and Merrell Pace Gloves.

Today, I did a Simple Strength I workout from Beautiful Badass.

Standing Overhead BB Press - 7x45#, 2x7x65#
Suspended Push-up - on JGXT, hands ~2ft off ground - 5x8
Neutral Grip Chin-up - feet on ground with JGXT - 5x8
1.2 mile run in VFFs

I decided that for lifts like the OH press, I can't stand a lot of warm up. It's too fatiguing. So, I only did the one warm up set to get the form down and then went straight to the working set. The last rep in each OH press set was a grinder!
