Power out from about 8 AM to 6 PM due to a friggin' ICE STORM in April. So no electricity, no heat, no lights, no hot water, no nothin'.

At first I was scared to train in the dark, mostly because of the Klingon in my basement. But I just remembered that humans and Klingons are allies in the future, so it should be fine. Plus, I had nothing else to do!

Texas method intensity day.

    • Missed the first time, probably because of not enough leg drive. Got it the 2nd time.

    • +2.5 lb from last week, but I knew I would probably miss if I tried the 3rd rep on the 2nd set. Going to try 330x3x3 next week.

Ever since I started taking strength training seriously, I was bitten by the Iron Bug. Then it burrowed under my skin and laid eggs in my heart. Now those eggs are hatching and I... the feeling is indescribable.
