Strength Training - July 25th, 2008

I started with 15-mins walk on the treadmill, some stretching, and then did:

A: Front Squat/Push Press - 60t/8, 60t/8, 65t/8
B1: Step-up (12″) - 17.5e/8, 17.5e/8, 20e/8
B2: Dumbbell One-point Row - 27.5e/8, 27.5e/8, 30e/8
C1: Static Lunge, Rear Foot Elevated - 15e/8, 15e/8, 17.5e/8
C2: Push-up (full) - 8, 8, 8
D1: Plank - 60+60sec, 60+60sec, 30+20+20+20sec (all on floor)
D2: Horizontal Wood Chop (on floor) - 37.5t/8, 37.5t/8, 40t/8

I was pretty much at 85 mins when finished, so I stopped. Sheesh, didn’t even consider rounding it up to 90 mins with a short walk.

HRM: 507 cals, Max: 155 (87%), Avg: 124 (70%)

I don’t know if it’s me today, or if I’m just hitting weights that are finally a bigger challenge. Today I felt like every last set of an exercise was about the last rep I could possibly push out. It started with the FSPP when I almost dropped the barbell on the 6th rep of the 3rd set. I suppose that was a bad sign. I’m pretty sure that my tempo was slower on pretty much everything.

The planks still pretty much kill me. Although I have managed to get some to 60 secs, the form sucks completely. Oh well, can’t do much about them as they come back in Stage 5.  :)

Since it’s sunny and hot out I need to take some time this afternoon and make sure the plants are well watered. I’m going to be away most of the day tomorrow so I don’t want to come home to a whole bunch of drooping plants.
