Training Log: Entry 1975


EARLY AM WORKOUT


(7) Axle Mat Pulls 435
1x5 deadstop
1x5 touch and go
1x6 deadstop


Notes: First set is always a grind. Seems like I still need a little time to "wake up". Still wasn't going until failure on any of these, but instead as soon as I felt my left knee start to turn outward on a rep. These are definitely going to be a staple in my comeback. The axle is keeping me honest, preventing me from hitching and swinging the weight, and it's just brutal to pick up.



Reverse hyper 50lbs
3:00


(4) Box squats stripset (only rest to change weight)
4x340+chains
8x230+chains
16x140+chains
32x bar+chains


Notes: Again, top set wasn't a failure set, but when I felt the knee start shaking. This really kicked my ass. Controlling the decent onto the box is killer.



LATER AM TRAINING

1 mile speed limp


Notes: Part of my job's monthly run. I'm regulated to the crippled group, which performs a 1 mile walk versus a 2.6 mile run. I was honestly pretty disgusted with many of my co-workers that chose to walk, as they used it as an opportunity to casually stroll, chat, and get zero benefit from the experience. I made it my goal to overtake every single one of them while limping, missing an ACL with a torn meniscus and fractured knee. Probably not smart, but I get to get a little pissed off every once in a while.




General notes: Woke up at 189.4.

Included a picture of my brand new prowler 2, proof that I have the most amazing wife in the world. Didn't get a chance to play with it, but when I get back from my trip, I'm going to take it for a few runs and try to catch the prowler flu.


Got my full week's lifting in 5 days. Pretty stoked about that.
