12/1/22 – Walking Lunges After Work :
17x/side, after the tree branch mace swings, when I get inside it’ll be another set of pushups, then shower up.
Tonight instead of down and back I went in something of a square around the yard.
Mentally I need daily workouts, they can be the one win, the one thing that keeps you going – “I worked out today! I workout tomorrow!”, and that’s you.
Teary eyed as I drove home.
My voice breaking as I state “no porn tonight!”
I’m not running to the vice like a bitch.
You have to trust that God will put the opportunities in front of you, and that you have the ability to take them.

The manager who’s kinda a fitness dude gave me props, as occasionally I brag of my press numbers to him.
He said to me, roughly, “you’re pressing overhead what many are happy to bench – you’re getting into the territory of my max bench”.
I have no doubts I’ll clean and press 300lbs before 2024.
10×205, 5×225, and 255 as a 1rm are all numbers that are close.
The clean concerns me more than the presses.
It’s not exactly your best approach to hitting heavy cleans to do one per amrap set of presses, however lots of moderately weighted, crisp reps have in the past improved my max clean.
I’m actually very into this program of clean and press, with walking lunges.
It’s following the k.i.s.s. principle nicely, and enjoyable to me in the moment.
…..
In April 2017 I lunged 400m.
It makes sense to me to density train these with frequency.
…..
I just shot off a challenge text to a buddy, see if he’s gonna race me lunging 400m on new year’s day.
Persistence & Tenacity
