Thoughts:
-I'm coming back after a full week of inactivity. Hence, this cycle seems more "scrape by" than "dominate the weight."
-I'm down to 168lb bodyweight... no wonder my belt was going on a notch tighter than usual.
-I like the idea of speed work as assistance, but I worry about overall training volume (or rather, a lack of) this way. There's probably a better way to incorporate it.
