1200

back squat
5 x 135, 165
3 x 185
5 x 200, 195, 190#

press

max pullups - 12

1 arm db row, 50# - 10 each arm

2 x 12 side plank leg lefts, L/R



  • Notes: Really tried to focus on the squat today, but still feeling relatively weak on it at 200. The second and third sets felt pretty strong though. Max pulls were pretty low, but I think it was just from the L-pullups right before. 
  • Body: Good. Neck is still super sore, must have been from some wrestling. Not really tired or sore from yesterday at all.

Louisville half

Louisville half marathon - 1:50 ish


  • Notes: Decent outing today, just hopped in with a friend who was running it and took it pretty easy with her. Didn't push the pace much. Course was very flat, which was nice.
  • Body: Calves got pretty sore towards the end, probably some leftover from yesterday's run. Right knee a little tight as well.

DL, pulls, sprints

1000

face pulls/rows

deadlift, moderate sumo
5 x 225, 255, 275, 300# (pr)

weighted chinups
5 x 25, 50, 65#

100 hollow rocks

tabata sprints
treadmill 12% grade 6:15/mile pace



  • Notes: Really good day. Easy on paper, but the lifts wore me out and the tabata was...a tabata. PR on my 5 rep pull and it felt really strong. I think I can attribute it to a better bracing strategy and mechanics than actual strength. Reading Kelly Starrett's book has really gotten me back in the game with mobility and movement.
  • Body: Anterior shoulders still sore, and my glute/hams are a little knotted up. Really need to massage my feet...
