More of a circuit thing today.

3 sets, each for time
30 Travelling Lunge Steps - 40s........49 sec, 56 sec, 1:05

3 Sets, each for time
40 Pushups - 0:54, 1:30, 2:09

3 Sets, each for time
20 Inverted Rows - 1:17, 1:28, 1:12

High rep lunges simply suck, they are so flipping painful especuially when you are trying to move fast, that one really burned, only the first round was unbroken.  The pushups got hard fast, as the timer indicates, and I could still feel my chest a little from the day prior.  The last round for the inverted rows is only shorter because I got stuck in a convo with someone, I didn't want to be rude but it did extend my break longer than planned, overall good workout.

First workout in a bit, took a little time off for reasons that are small, but back at it today with a full body workout.

Trap Bar Deadlifts (reset)
260x5
300x5
320x5
330x5
340x5

Alternate sets
Incline DB Bench Press - 10, 10, 10, 10, 10.......50s, 55s, 60s, 65s, 70s
C2B Neutral Grip Pullups - 10, 7, 7, 7, 7

Simple but tough, resetting is much harder than touch and go, having said that I did stop at 350 with trap bar deadlifts touch and go style, so I am pretty pleased I was able to get up to 340 resetting.  It was close by the end and resetting really does hurt more, I was a bit worried my form faltered but I didn't take a video, I may have completely done okay.  I am also pleased to have gotten up to the 70s for 10 reps, it was tough, but I should mention my elbow felt nothing, not a thing, awesome.

Incline DB Bench Press

50sx15

Good workout today, hadn't done snatches in a bit but they felt good, a few pressouts at 135 but they felt good.  That's a pr on high bar back squats for 5, 235 being my old pr.  They felt good, all reps were hamstring to calf.  The bench press I felt like testing my elbow more, my desire to lift heavy for bench again is getting stronger.  The 65s felt good, elbow felt fine, and was actually a struggle for 10 due to muscle fatigue.  I'd have to check what I could normally do for 10 reps of that style, but I'd have to believe it's heavier than 65s.  Either way good workout.

Pulling day today.

Sumo Deadlifts (touch and go)
275x5
315x5
335x5
355x5
365x5

NeutralGrip Pullups (1 second pause at top) - 8, 7, 6, 6, 6

No Cheat DB Curls - 30s - 10, 7, 7

Those deadlifts got pretty heavy by the end there, 365 was pushing it but completed with I think decent form, I got a video I'll upload at some point.  The pullups were done differently, just as it says you pause for one second at the top, this made them a lot harder, overall good workout for easter friday.

Pushing

Pushing today.

Front Squats
135x5
155x5
175x5
195x5
215x5
225x5

Incline DB Bench Press - 45sx15, 50sx15-13-11-10

Pushdowns - 3x15......80

Happy with the workout today, I threw an extra set into the front squats to see if I could do 225 for 5 reps, it was close but completed, and 215 felt better today than it has in the past (I'd been stuck at 215x5 for a while now).  I wanted to try some incline db bench press too, being my elbow has been able to take more lately, I obviously went light but my elbow remained without pain so that made me happy too.  50s aren't even close to heavy for me, but heavy enough that it was a good test for my elbow.

Full body day today.

Clean Complex (2 Squat Cleans + 2 Hang Squat Cleans)
135
155
165
175
185

Alternate Sets
Cable Bench Press (with 1 second pause at peak position)
40x8
50x8
60x8
70x8
90x8

Wide Grip Pullups - 12, 10, 9, 8, 7

Lateral Raises - 3x10.......27s

Alternate Sets
Alternating DB Curl - 40x5, 47x5, 50x4
V-Bar Pushdowns - 3x15......40

I liked that complex, 185 was getting close but you can tell I really ride the clean into the squat so I maybe could have gone heavier.  I definately started too light on the bench press with the pause, but I do like that version so next time I'll remember to go heavier.  The pullups went well, so did everything else.

I was sleepy this morning, had a late night so decided to do some minute interval stuff.

1 Minute Intervals, rest as needed between each

Trap Bar Deadlifts - 160.....20, 23, 22

Pushups - 38, 27, 28

Russian DB Swings - 70......24, 23, 21


Back Squats - 2x15......135

Alternate Sets
Overhead Rope Extensions - 70x12, 10, 10
Preacher Curls - 60x12, 10, 8

So you did 3 sets of each of the first 3 exercises, 1 minute per set.  I know exactly why the first set was the lowest for the trap bar deadlifts, I was still stiff and warming up, the next 2 sets I was able to cycle through them quicker.  The second set on the pushups would be a higher number but I lost track of time, still not too bad overall.  Russian swings means you only go to eye level, and the kettlebells are getting light for what I want so I went onto the dumbbells, it gets awkward holding it but I felt my hamstrings and glutes working.  The back squats was to do something more quad dominant, so I did LBBS and went all the way down, the arm stuff was random.  It woke me up and felt pretty good.
