Comments:
Cutting the ego and going to do the 40 day workout as prescribed. Low % of lifetime maxes. Lots of practicing the skill of strength. Little and often over the long haul. If life happens and I cannot get a training session in, than so be it. Will try to get through the whole 40 days this time. If I can get weight down to around 195 that would be excellent as well.

Comments:
Coming off a bug of some kind. Body feels a bit beat up. Elbows and knees are feeling creeky and not solid. Energy is down. Its about time to switch up training to something new. Open to new ideas for workouts on a super tight schedule. Taking a look at grease the groove type work. I have done it for pullups in the past but nothing else. If anyone has experiance in using it feel free to chime in.

DMPM has been a lifesaver. I may go back to it shortly. Elbows just need a rest. Probably time to switch out overhead pressing for a bit as well.
