Tuesday 16 August 2011

WNYD

Squat 5-5-5

165-165-165

Happy with this effort in light of recent back issues, both lower and upper, and no yoga in over a week. Back felt strong and mobility was decent. Felt like I was getting much better depth than on Saturday at Balance. Ankles and groin were a little tight. Should be able to start progressing on squats very soon.

Push-ups 20-20-20(f)

Failed again on the last set, but managed 18 reps this time, which is an improvement over 15 reps last week. Probably could have managed the last two, but I was starting to "snake" my body. Hopefully, these push-ups, in conjunction with bench pressing on Thursday, will lead to achieving three sets of 15 dips on Saturday.

Band good mornings 25-25-25

Felt much better than last week. Focused on making sure I wasn't bending too much at the waiste after my hips were pushed back as far as they could go. Should remember to do some these before deadlifting on Thursday.

PCF

Weighted chin-ups 3-3-3-3

20-30-30-30

Metcon: 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 reps of:

Kettlebell swings (53#)
Burpees
Pull-ups

10.57. Satisfied with today's effort. Sure, there were too many rest periods throughout the workout, but I pushed it pretty hard. Did all movements unbroken and burpees felt suprisingly good, even though I had already done push-ups earlier in the day. Grip was a limiting factor, once again, on swings and pull-ups.
