MB tempo 2x5x100
Worked up to an easy 325 could have hit 335 with no problem and 345 if my AC joint was 100%. The glute activation work has increased the size of my glutes and the squatting has made my upper legs (quads/hip flexor) alot thicker.

Overall I am on track strength wise and running is feeling effortless.
No soreness or tightness this morning, Tue/Wed will be a rest day.

Hi RB34,
Just looked through this thread and was wondering what you are training for? The threads title is ‘Run Fast are die Trying’ which I know you mean run fast or die training however you list very few running sessions and seem to have an obvious interest and passion in the strength training. Just wondering if you were training to run a track and if so which ones? I also have to agree with previous responses to your training responses that 4.5min rest for max speed work if I have read correctly is very inadequate if your aim is a shift in your top speed. Cheers
Just a old average athlete training for fun. I was working with a highly qualified coach who designed those workouts.
Cool. Sounds like you enjoy it. All the best.
Fri:
Lat pd 3x10
Bench 3x6
Pushdown 2x10
Rear delts 2x10
Curls 2x8
Tempo 2x5x100
Workout partner did 2x5x100+3x600.
The plan was to start Fall GPP mid August - somethings came up so I’m looking at early Sept instead. Today is another rest day - the month of August I’m planning active, passive, and very easy strength training sessions. The early part of the month will be easy workouts then more active and passive rest towards mid-late month.

Can’t wait to start training because I need to get in shape and drop 5-8lbs. The weight loss should happen pretty quickly once I clean up the diet and drop (soda, ice cream, chips, honey buns) etc.
You getting fat
Little bit - heavy for my frame.
