Comments:
Super stressful day with work issues. Honestly just focused on plowing through and finishing the day strong without temper flaring.

On a different note, had to arm wrestle my power forward in front of the entire school, parents and faculty at one of my jobs for a impromtu homecoming week deal. We locked up for 1 min solid and then I ended up beating him. The constant tension from all the kettlebell work ended up paying off. He weighs in at a really really solid 220.
