Tired and felt shitty but still trained. I’m not sure whats going on with my stomach but i have heatburn almost 24/7, sometimes i can eat other times i take a bite and im full or wanna puke. When i got back from training i puked up water and some of my protein shake and it looked like there was a TINY bit of blood in some of the shit i spit up, I hope i don’t have an ulcer or something serious. If it doesnt get better by another week im gonna call the doctor.

Wheelbarrow Deadlift -
started with the lightweight class weight for a few reps then kept doing triples, worked my way up to the heavy weight weights and got a triple with my belt on.

Frame carry -
did an empty run and one with the 200 weight class weight, didnt want to do alot of back work today because im shooting for a PR on deads tuesday.

Sandbag Carry -
was flying with this, did all weight class weights for full distance except the heavy weight weights because i was getting tired and didn’t feel like going the full distance
