The MilkMan delivers

Done about 90 minutes walking today, it's hot for the UK - 31c, so have worked up a good sweat. I'm rehydrating with beer.
 
The heat is ridiculous mate isn't it? Luckily I've trained in the morning today and yesterday but it's still been hot in my gym. No idea how some people train in heat like this all the time ( or do anything in heat like this)

Yeah it's been pretty warm for us. Luckily the gym yesterday was nicely air conditioned so it wasn't too uncomfortable.

You go for actual AMRAP?
I stop and 10, 6, and 3. I get in the advanced template for extra shit.
 
I may have missed it, but what's your thinking on the alternating sumo / conventional dead lifting?
My partner lifts sumo, and I'm thinking of venturing into it.

First time I used sumo for a session, I hit a new 1RM, which was great. Since then, it hasn't felt quite so good, so I think I'm still trying to find my groove with it.
