Paleo Breakfast sausage

A delicious morning staple for but the contents are often unknown. Nitrates, high fat content
Breakfast sausage.

A little FU from CF Chickentown to the old Posterior Chain: Commence funny walking

Well we set out to do it and it happened. Heavy Deadlifts, 150 reps of 53 lbs kettlebell swings and some "good mornings" as a final topping on dismantling the posterior chain today.
Rolled out hard but the funny walking has begun. You all know it, the muscles start to tighten up an then you have to do funny things just to walk. People laugh but you know that you just put up some numbers, embracing the hurt.
Santanasty goes big at 440lbs for 3 rep deadlifts. That's all we have in the gym to put on the bar. Got up to 365 which is good for me.
Rest day for rugby practice tomorrow.
