Notes
Solid session to end the week. OHP was a bit of a struggle due to an extremely sore low/mid back.  Everywhere on my body is sore right now actually.  Sprints yesterday after deads/fronts did a number on my legs.

Bumped intensity up on OHP and chins. Chins continue to get better as I lose weight.

Farmers walks were crazy.  There is a a big U-shaped hallway outside the gym where we always do farmers walks. We call going to the end and back "around the world."  The challenge today was to go around the world holding our bodweight.  I was 244 this morning.  I got the first 110yards without dropping the DB's, but then my grip totally seized up.  It was kind of funny actually.  My grip is pretty ironclad, but it literally just stopped working haha.  It made going back pretty interesting, but that is what makes farmers walks fun.
