LB on saturday and conditioning, conditioning on sunday…
getting into very good shape now, the bf is back down below 10.
Unfortunately, my left knee is enflamed a little, so I am not sure if I should kick up the volume like I wanted to this week or not.
Anyways, after 24 tonight;

Planning on: 2(3x10, 2x20, 1x30) sprints after a nice warm up.
then…
Bench 4x8x155
Lat pulldown 4x8x150
Military 4x8x90
CSR 4x8x190
abs

Uh, scrap that, b/c I have a new obsesssion!
HOCKEY!

Ok so just to clarify, here’s how the week has gone:
Monday - HOCKEY! so much fun… and since I can skate and have some natural athleticism, I didn’t look like too much of a schmuck.
Tuesday - Off, I didn’t NEED it off, but it was still a good decision
Wednesday - Sprints 2x(3x10, 2x20, 1x30) UB (what I was supposed to do monday) and med ball abs
Tonight - LB (Squats 4x8x225, PC 4x6x115, RDL 4x8x175) + conditioning
Tomorrow - same as wednesday
Saturday - Same as today
Sunday - just conditioning

grr… Im so mad! My right shoulder just popped in an unnatural way with a loaded bar on my back!

ROM is fine, no residual pain - just a bad sign. So Ill modify the last two weeks of my GPP. Push-ups instead of Bench, bulgarians instead of squats, no power cleans, added light posterior work, lighter upper back stuff to give the shoulder a healthy dose of blood and nutrients and some rest. I should be fine for a MaxStrength phase during SPP in two weeks

Speed was VERY good today on my sprints, and lots of pop on the cleans and deads.

good workout — good day in general
I got my next gear back… hehehee

about 10 sprints of varying length with varying rest periods.

Drop Push-ups 4x6
Eccentric extended ROM push-ups 4x10
Incline push-ups 3x20
Latpulldown 2x30, 2x6
CSR 2x30,2x6

how is the shoulder doing??

not too bad actually. the worst part is the cold temprature is screwing with my joints, so I crack a lot. Sounds worse than it is. last night’s workout was good, worked around the problem and sought to make it better. I’ve just been ice and adviling so far. next week I might incorporate some theraband and pre-hab exercises, but Im confident that in about 2 weeks time I’ll be good to go.

hye every body - I was away from a comp all weekend so I missed a lot… thursday/friday I was useless, Saturday was Mardi Gras (wasn’t drunk hardly at all, but still fun) and sunday I was uber-productive. which leads to today

40mx3 - 4.74, 4.84, 4.67

  • basically, I need to warm -up longer and incorporate some build-ups. first workout in spikes.

Missed yesterday -way too much work… was a little sick today, but b/c volume wasn’t going to be an issue, I decided to go ahead and lift. It’s been over a week since I really have done much of anything, I was feeling stale.

Yesterday was lifting (see below), core, and some injury prevention

Today, just a lot of movement stuff for my hips and knees, a quick push-up sit-up combo, some IP, core, and flex.

Probably the same tomorrow, only I’ll also do some bike and a longer flex.

Another solid workout…
some shin pain… I think it’s just some bruises from the heavy bag… I pretty much went guano crazy…
