Good Morning

Yesterday revolved around being able to get up this morning and lift weights. I had to skip inputting my time tracking for work, walking with my wife, stretching, and eating a nice dinner. However, for my sacrifices I got a nap, a full night's sleep, and a great workout this morning. I did:
12k Kettlebell Warm Up
Kettlebell Squats: 5x12k, 16k, 24k; 5x5x16k's;
Romanian Deadlifts: 5x95, 135; 5x5x185;
V-bar (Between Sets): 5/5x110lbs
Lunge Walk: 8/8xBW; 2x5/5x12k
Overall workout took about an hour. I was fried after this. The kettlebell squats were tough to warm up into, but as I progressed the sets they got easier. I guess I need to shoot for 5x6 next time. Romanian deads I will simply try to repeat next workout. That's the most reps or sets I've done on them in a single workout, ever.
V-bar was interesting, I tried to do it during squats, it hurt. I finished during the work sets of my deadlifts, no problem. I need to start including a warm up with 90lbs before I go heavier. The lunges were a good finisher. I want to build these up to lunge walks with a kettlebell in the overhead position. I think it will hit everything on me that is weak. Right now, I have to do them with the kettlebell in the rack position.
That's it. I feel great now. Morning workouts are the way for me to go. I get in, do my sets, and get out. The time limit puts me on task and eliminates the screwing around. I'm leaving work by 8 tonight and have another good workout planned for tomorrow morning.
