Training Log: Entry 2392

AM WORKOUT

Got up at 0410 this morning, and since I don't have to work my "daily exercise" became a morning workout.  Ended up doing

NG chins (normal-wide-narrow w/rest pause)

32-10-8

Band pull aparts

1x30

Standing ab wheel

4x15

GHR

1x30

Tabata KB swings w/45lb bell

Notes: Did the ab wheel so I could cut it out of the giant sets for my PM workout later and save some time, but I may actually start including it in the daily stuff so I can just phase it out entirely.  I think it fits right in.  I've forgotten just how much I appreciate the KB swing, and it may make similar appearances.  It just feels good to be able to train hard again.

On that note, got a million different ideas of what to do on my trip, which is funny given it's only 10 days away from home.  Once I know what I have to work with, I'll hammer out a plan, but so far my goal is to maximize time away from family and pour it into training.  Lots of 2+ a days.  Think those finibars are going to see some use.

CONDITIONING

Tabata boxing rounds on BAS

Notes: Rest pause on the press continues to be a solid challenge.  Seems to be just what I needed.  Cut out the ab wheel since I did it earlier.

The Kroc rows worked well enough.  The long handle kept running into my supporting leg, but I was able to sort out technique on it.  May end up using an incline bench next time.

Going on a date night.  Mexican food and then walking on a pedestrian bridge, so bonus conditioning.
