Was going to work out last night but had to work late. Went for a nice brisk 45 minute walk with the wife and dogs instead. Soon it’ll be time to start the running again
Hey Chris, when you competing again?
I think meets start in June
Here is todays workout:
ME upper body:
5 minutes on bike
Bench 5 sets up to 265 for single! woohoo!!
incline 3 sets (165 for 6)
seated rows 3 sets (200 for 6)
4 sets leg raises
4 sets weighted incline situps
4 sets side bends weighted
10 minutes on bike cooldown
Getting strong again Feels pretty good! Ham is at 98% I’d say
Wow, that’s a ways away. Well, keep training and getting strong, cos you got big things ahead of you, man!
Sub 12.00 FAT would be awesome
Hopefully it’ll happen. I am much stronger than last year so we’ll see
You’ll get it, I know you will. I got confidence in you

8 minutes bike
6 x 1 x 275 back squat (very explosive)

ps- I am going to start running again this weekend
are you ready to start running. Does your leg feel 100%. Are you gonna jump into speed work?
Those are all good questions.
are you ready to start running.
- I think so. I wont be going into anything crazy starting off though.
Does your leg feel 100%.
As close as it’s going to get I think. I am a LOT stronger through my hamstrings and pos chain than before. I feel VERY explosive/strong lately
Are you gonna jump into speed work? - I think I am going to hit extensive tempo at first between weight workouts and incorporate med length sprints after a week or so. Maybe in the 80-120 range with shorter rests. Have to wait and see. Spike work will be a little ways off though
Cheers,
Chris
Good workout tonight
