Lots of things could do this. Didn't eat enough, sleep enough or warm up right. Or you just siked yourself out. I also feel like my form sometimes suffers when I am not lifting by myself, again siking myself out when I am out of my element, I suppose. I got stuck coming out of the hole (which is where I normally get stuck). I will be taking a minor .mil "vacation," and I am probably going to have a 2-week training gap, so we will see where I am at when I return. |

My current pair are 10.5s, and I have a bit of room in the toe so I wanted to try the smaller size. |

Man, you guys still lifting?
I did chest with the wife today with some pullups mixed in for fun. I got a pretty week feeling 275x5 Than I asked her if she wanted to push the sled. I haven't done sled work since high school wrestling. I put 180 on it and told her to go down and back. There is a 40 yard turf strip. She got back and I told her to sit on the sled and I went. I flew down for the first 40, turned around and made about 5 steps and I slowed down, a lot  .
We did one more rep and I felt like I had to puke the whole ride home. I think that was fun. I've still been managing 3, 5 mile runs in armor. I think my legs are growing. I haven't squated or done legs at all in months. WTF. |

The body has to run blood through its entire circuit three or four times, which takes about a minute each, to actually run out of oxygen. The one thing to never do when free diving is to hyperventilate. Hyperventilating does not increase the level of O2, it decreases the level of CO2. While that help relieve the urge to breath, that CO2 is a safety valve to let you know when to get your ass up and take a breath. By hyperventalating you remove that safety valve to a degree, and allow the body to run out of oxygen, resulting in shallow water blackout, and other such fucked up shit.

I read Mark Rippetoe's article about Lamar Grant. He said he benched way down on his chest. So Since I have the same sort of build I tried that today. I think I like better. Felt like it engaged my chest much better.

I bought this pair of sapis for $200 shipped iirc. X-ray showed no cracks too. How do you like the carrier? I've had this one maybe 5-6 months and even though there is no padding it is very comfortable to run in. I can adjust the cummerbund to be just right enough that it doesn't bounce but loose enough that I can breath. I love not having MOLLE all over it. I can throw it on under a flannel and I just look bigger but it's concealed.
If I need more ammo than what I EDC than I can throw on my warbelt and have everything I need that's easier to access to boot. |

Who knew that a couple days at disney would wreck me. I had my backpack so technically I'll call it a ruck. I was also hobbling around with what is probably a broken big toe. But it seems to be healing, so I squatted this morning. Back to the grind.
