Picked the bear for a barbell complex-driven workout to act as a Texas volume session. Since I'm working back into shape, I started light and worked up (failed at 105 last time). Felt heavy but doable; grip wasn't as burned as last time, but the presses were the hard part. Linked presses and squats as thrusters through most of the first 3-4 rounds. Failed the last round on a push press, just couldn't lock it out, really felt like I was going to drop it on my head.

Hard, but enjoyable. Not super aerobic, but it gets your HR up; willpower is critical for this one.

Rewarded myself with a big, giant, juicy, low-carb porterhouse for dinner, eaten with stir-fried kale and leftover curry pureed sweet-potato soup. Mmmm...
