Woke up at 5:47 this morning—three minutes before the alarm. My body's finally syncing with the routine after two weeks of consistency. The air was cold enough that I could see my breath when I stepped outside for the warm-up jog.
Today's session:
10-minute dynamic warm-up
Woke up before the alarm again—fifth day in a row. There's something about the quiet at 5:30 AM, the way the house settles into itself before the world starts demanding attention.

Today's focus was upper body strength:
Bench press: 4×6 at 185 lbs
