Training Log: Entry 2696
AM WORKOUT (0440 wake up via alarm) FASTED
**CONDITIONING**
5 rounds of 10-15-25-50 KB swings w/24kg bell, 3 burpees between sets
Notes:
* Definitely the last thing I wanted to do this morning, so I settled on a Dan John classic. I actually really liked this workout for how quickly it make 30 minutes go by. Clear cut goals to go for. Might be worth experimenting with a Juarez Valley approach and go 10-50-15-25. Burpee chins got me through the first 300 swings, but after that my forearms were pissed so I went with a traditional burpee. Level changes and swings are still hard to beat.
* Took the day off work so I could be home when the Mrs returned. Nice to have a day to breathe. Maybe some more training as a result.
* Tang Soo Do was decent last night, but lots of grappling based stuff so I was tapping early due to my forearm pain. I'm still impossible to wrist lock, so that's cool.
* In exciting news, I stepped on the scale this morning after my post-workout shower and saw "201.0" as the number. I'm officially a man according to Mark Rippetoe. This has been the bodyweight where I've traditionally been my most able: solid combination of max strength and conditioning, but this time I had to eat UP to get to it, and, in turn, I'm the leanest I've ever been at this bodyweight. I don't see it lasting long, especially with my pseudo Apex-predator/V Diet approach coming up soon, but it's fantastic to know I can get here again. Solid testament to Super Squats as well.
Just wondering, do you have a job where you're sitting a lot? if so, do you do anything to combat back pain/soreness from all the sitting? Or do you not really sit much or experience this?
ReplyDeleteHey man, I do sit a lot in my job, but I don't get back pain/soreness. I make it a point to get up and move pretty frequently. Drinking a lot of water will help there.
