“Just because my body is developed for something other than fucking millionaires, doesn’t mean it’s masculine. I think it’s femininely badass as fuck because there’s not a single muscle on my body that isn’t for a purpose. Because I’m not a do-nothing bitch.” – Ronda Rousey
Ronda speaking on form follows function. I wonder what human beings will look like down the line, should we survive. Walter Whoever-the-fuck, the dentist from Minnesota who illegally killed Cecil the lion, had me rooting for the asteroid this week. Seriously, that’s not hunting; that’s compensation for something.

Monday| Loved the 10-rep sets of back squats; they were challenging even at 50% #WhatThighGap The hip and shoulder are feeling good… In terms of the Nutrition Challenge, I just hit the daily water goals, as I had two rounds of bean. Cause and effect. I’ve come up short on the cals the last couple days.
Tuesday | SAF from the back squats. Note for next time on the seated press: try the 25#ers. On the last set I caught myself shrugging, not a whole lot but…
COB felt good – last two sets were harder to keep in good position fo’ sho’. The ring PUs were challenging.
Wednesday | O-lifting class was a blast. Hit my protein goals! Stressful workday -noticing how my coffee increases as my stress level does.
Thursday | The roughest day of the Nutrition Challenge for me so far. I felt exhausted all day. The day was a slap in the face reminder of the correlation between fatigue & hunger for junk/caffeine. I missed the water goal. Sleep > Hydration
