Great workout. Normally I'd include reactive plyo work but I like to take 1 session off every 4 weeks to keep CNS fatigue at bay. Great workout!

Normally I get some chocolate milk pw from a farm near houston but my stocking was STUFFED with chocolate. Fat doesn't impair glycogen replenishment and there was sufficient protein so why the hell not?

Good workout. How long did that take you?

This workout should be short but I am training my girlfriend at the same time, so it kind of goes like this:
-Warm up
-work set 1 for halo/pullover/rader
-work sets for GF
-work set 2 for halo/pullover/rader
-work sets for GF
etc.

The rest is actually nice as the lateral raise and rear delt too close drain each other. It would be a fairly quick 30 minute shoulder girdle blast if not for training her.

I like to stick around 40-45 minutes with warmups. I thought your workout was about the same. Pretty close.

The workouts that include plyos tend to be much longer, at least for now. I do the plyo work at my studio, drive over to the other training study for my weight workouts. Add it up and it's nearly 2 hours. It hasn't hindered me, which is nice, but sometimes it's simply a chore.

Playing around with the neck harness was a blast. Deadlift went up like a dream. Am smacking ~31" off a depth jump, nearing the 34" ceiling height at my studio. Should hit 36"+ come summertime. Bueno!

Good workout. I have trap bar envy! Sneak that sucker out the back door and mail it to Wisconsin.
