AM WORKOUT
DELOAD
Axle continental and push press (press away) 156
3x10
1x7
1x6
superset w/
Axle rows 156
5x10
Notes: Plan was 5x10 for both, but didn't have the wind for it. I'm mostly recovered from being ill, but my cardio still sucks. Good day for a deload at least. I'm a little off on my schedule, but basically the deload is split between 2 calendar weeks. I'll resume normal training tomorrow. I need to start developing my plan for contest prep now, as it's coming up and I need to start specializing more.
Dips (upright)
150 reps
Notes: 2 sets of 75 wi
th rest pausing. Managed 40 in the first go. I might start using some weighted sets of these, but the unweighted work really seems to play out well.
Axle rows 156
2x10
Axle curls
1x135
General notes: Woke up at 190.2. Feeling beat down but recovering. Just gotta keep moving forward.
PM WORKOUT
CoC #1 Timed hold
1:15
1:00
Notes: Already seeing improvements. Despite a late start, I think I'm gonna see some good stuff from this.

30 minutes running outdoors
Notes: Wind was something stupid like 50 knots. I ran with it to my back downhill for the first half then uphill against the wind for the second. Felt like I was running in place for a bit. It's stupid, but I only like to run outdoors in adverse conditions. It helps me feel like even god and the elements are against me. Otherwise, I run indoors and try to make it as miserable as possible.
Woke up at 189.4. Need to stay on top of nutrition.

Training Log: Entry 2247
AM workout was a bust. Still dragging. Couple of highlights though. Managed to perform a double overhand hold of 226 for a minute, and worked up to a 410 squat. Pulled something in my groin, but it's minor. The dehydration was apparent though; I just had no gas or max strength.
Woke up at 190.0. Getting back.

Axle Continentals 193lbs
10 minutes
EMOM
https://youtu.be/2PGKXblcElg
Notes: Started off with triples, ended up at singles. Conditioning couldn't hold up, but I'm gonna blame coming back from the bug. I was catching this thing real bad; up on my sternum. Hurt like hell. At least practice recovering a bad catch can help.
Woke up at 188.4. That's actually a 1lb gain from yesterday. Slowly building back up.

AM WORKOUT
Axle strict press
5xAxle
5x66
5x136
5x161
3x181
5x201
8x161 (continental)
4x186 (continental and push press)
Notes: Tweaked my neck on the last set of 161. Actually heard it crunch. I should get back into neck training; it should prevent this. After that, I lost my ability to really grind any reps, so I cut the push presses short.
Dips (upright)
140 reps
Notes: 2 sets of 70 with rest pausing. These were rough on the neck.
Axle curls
1x135
BACKWORK (performed in between sets of everything else)
Lat pulldown 180
5x8
Band pull aparts
5x20
Axle rows 186
3x10
Notes: Wasn't really able to go hard on the rows with my neck jacked up, but everything else worked well.
General notes: Woke up at 192.2. Legs are feeling a little better after the 40 rep squats. The conditioning probably helped get some blood into them.
PM WORKOUT
CoC #1 hold for time
2x50 seconds
Notes: Been slacking on this, which is stupid. I need to get my grip strong for the Hercules hold. From all I've heard, it's the grip that gives out before the body, so I'm working on crush holds for time to see how that works out for me.

Medley
100lb keg 50'
Run back 50'
182lb keg 50'
Run back 50'
Run back to keg
182lb keg 50'
Backwards prowler w/182lb keg drag 50'
4 rounds of the above
Notes: It doesn't get better, but I get meaner and more evil, so that's something. The drag is really getting better; I'm learning how to fall backwards while pushing with my quads at the same time. I'm not happy with my footspeed with the 182lb keg. I'm wondering it's just a product of fatigue after the first keg, because that flies right off the start. Soon I'll be leading with the 182, so I'll be able to see.
General notes: Woke up at 194.4. Had company over the night before and ate well, and then my kid got a stomach bug in the middle of the night so I spent the night on the floor in their room in case they needed me, so routine got a little jacked up. Did my Friday workout tonight, and then will rock 3 early mornings in a row and possibly cap it with a 2 a day.
It has been a full year since my injury. I am stronger than ever.

Training Log: Entry 2243
30 minute pavement run
Notes; Still not tracking distance here. With how much the rest of my training seems to be beating me up, I'm transitioning to using this more as a restorative conditioning day. I still try to run as fast as I can through the 30 minutes, but I imagine the treadmill would make me move quicker. Wind was very strong today; running against it was a struggle, especially the day after 40 rep squats.
Woke up at 192.4 this morning.
