DAY 2

Blackjack workout (20 chins, then 1 push up. Then 19 chins and 2 push ups. Etc. Always totaling 21 reps per set, finish when numbers are reversed)

Took about 35 minutes

Day 3

Machine leg press (no rest between sets)
Did 10 reps per set, then moved up 2 spaces on the plate rack and repeated. Did this until I couldn’t, then worked my way back down. Topped out at 220ish pounds, started at 10, couldn’t tell you what the divisions were for the machine.

After this was done, I took a 3-5 minute break, put the max weight on the stack, and did a 25 rep set. I was done at 10 reps, completely ready to stop at 20, told myself I wanted at least 21, decided if I could get 21 I could get a few more, and finished at 25. I’ve been re-reading Jon Andersen’s “Deep Water” training stuff, and felt like this got to the root of it.

Notes: So you get the picture. I had limited weight and learned how to make the most of it. I honestly enjoy being put behind the 8 ball like this and seeing what I come up with, because it’s usually something pretty evil. My whole body was lit up pretty fierce after those first 2 days. I saved lower body training for the end, since I was hiking and exploring a lot on the trip and didn’t want to be limping around for it.

I ate well. I’ll give my body a few days to stabilize and see where it wants to go weightwise.
