Notes:Just wanted a quick workout today, so I brought this back.  I honestly REALLY dig this approach.  It might make regular appearances.


DB rows 105
1x25


Notes: Just something quick again.  Strict form, blew up the lats pretty decent.  Might try to get in a quick arms workout tomorrow while I pack to get back on the row.

Deadlifts
5x135
5x225
3x315
1x405
2x495
1xpulling my head out of my ass
9x495
14x405, then rest pause for 1 more rep

Notes: Head wasn't in the right place the entire warm-up. My lungs were still achy from running in the night air and I was hacking phlem between sets. I pulled the set of 2x495 and told myself I had been working too hard and I just needed to rest. Then I got pissed off, said I wasn't gonna go out like that, and hit the 9x495. Set a goal for 15 reps of 405 as my backoff after that and decided I was going to get any way I could. I think I'm going to do a legit deload week next week, as I haven't chilled on the deads in a while, and I'm most likely running in the red.

Squats
5xBar
5x95
5x135
3x185
1x225
1x275
1x315
1x375

DROPSET
3x405
6x315
12x225
24x135

Notes: Just feeling beat, every rep of 405 was a bargain with myself. I kept promising myself just 1 more rep. Played it by ear from there.

Left knee is sore to the touch, but I think I just slammed it with the barbell on deads. I'll monitor it for now.

Track Run
Distance: 1.5 miles
Time: 11:00

Notes: Ran at night, so pacing myself was tricky.  I could read my watch for the first two laps (1:30 and 3:04), but after that I was just going by feel. I coulda matched my best track time with a little more awareness, but this was still pretty decent.

DB floor press
10x10lbs
5x25
5x50
11x105
9x105
7x105

superset w/

NG chins
5x10

superset w/

DB kelso shrugs 50
5x10

Notes: Once again using what I have to work with. It was a little tricky getting the DBs into position by myself, but not terrible. These were all pause reps, because it was tricky to control the DBs. I honestly liked these; I might consider them for assistance work in the future.

Blast strap push ups
1x15
4x10

superset w/

Blast strap inverted rows
5x10

Notes: These were fun. Nice to be doing something different. Got a decent pump in the pecs.

Lateral raise dropset
20x25
10x20
10x15
10x10

General notes: Still really fatigued. Not eating/drinking enough. Training everyday too. Guess I really know how to go on vacation.

Squats
5xBar
5x95
5x135
3x185
1x225
1x275
1x315
1x365
5x405
15x315


Notes: Wasn't feeling it today.  Wanted 7 on the 405 but it took a bit out of me.  Redeemed myself on the set of 315.  15 was the goal, and it was ugly, but I managed it.  However, I also think that took a lot out of me for the rest of the workout.


Deadlifts
5x135
5x225
3x315
1x405
9x495
10x405

Notes: Nearly blacked out on these.  After the 495 and 405 sets, I would end up falling 3 steps away from the bar before I "caught" myself.  On the plus side, it seems that my "bad day" strength has really come up.  The more I can bridge the gap on that, the better.


My next workout deadlift/squat workout will be my last before I get to my final location, so I'm planning on going balls out on it and being stupid.  That always works.

10 minutes EMOM

-5 burpees
-5 air squats
-Push ups
-20 mountain climbers
-20 jumping jacks


Notes: Took this straight from Brian Alsruhe video on conditioning.  Wasn't able to hit the burpee pull-ups with my current set-up, but kept everything else the same.  True to what he said; this will smoke you.  I did this after my cheat meal of the nachos at "On the Border", so that made it even more awesome.  Getting better with the elevation at least.

Training Log: Entry 2204


Track run
30:00
3.5 miles


Notes: Elevation is just crushing me.  My father-in-law pointed out that I'm most likely dehydrated too.  Considering I usually drink a gallon of water a day, and now I'm just down to whatever I scrounge up at home, and the altitude and heat, that's a good conclusion.  Legs feel like lead; it's like I can't get blood flowing through them.  It's been a long time since I hit my 30 minute run.  I don't want to lose the shape I'm in, so this is gonna keep going as long as I can.
