Total Body Focus
Condition:
My mid back was still tired when I woke up this morning, but the rest of my body felt good. Still, the plan was to take it easy, do some light overhead squats, some upper body work, and just chill out in general. Unfortunately, I suck at following plans. Bodyweight was 208 this morning.
Warm Up:
Some BW movements
Light Plyos
Workout:
Power Snatches (index fingers on rings, minimal dip to catch)
5 x 3 @ 185 lbs, 120 sec. rest
Rhythmic DB Jump Squats
2 x 10 @ (25+25 lbs), 180 sec. rest
Push Ups (hands and feel elevated for extra ROM, close stance, elbows tucked)
BW x Failure
EZ Bar Curls (strict)
Lots
Abs
Cool Down:
Shoulder Dislocates
Notes:
Okay, I said I wasn’t going to leave 180 lbs until next week, but I lied. 185 lbs is kind of a milestone, and if I’m going to be building up from anywhere, it’s here.
Snatches went well. I started to get tired towards the end, but that’s no surprise. Mid back and shoulders need some rest, but my pull is strong.
And upper body work was nothing special. I just a lot of reps of both of my exercises. Damn do I hate high reps.
