11/16/07

Today was one of those 20% days in the weight room. (Pareto's law: 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. If you can't figure out how this relates to training you need to read more articles by Dan John) I cranked out some nasty overhead squats, and the weight I chose for weighted pull-ups felt ridiculously easy.

PTP:
Deadlift 5-5
245-220

One arm press:
3-5
75-65

5-5-5-5-5 Overhead squats (each set starts with a full squat snatch)
135-135-135-135-135

1-1-1-1-1-1-1 Weighted pull-ups
70-70-70-70-70-70-70

5 rds:
10 sit-ups
3 ground base jammer w/ 2 plates per side

Overall a great day today. I wish they were all like this.

Conditioning:
After dinner I warmed up with 20 deadhangs and 50 push-ups split into two sets. See the post above for a detailed explanation.

Long cycle: 5 minutes, 70 reps. Nothing really went right here. I accidentally set the timer for 5 minutes instead of 6, my pacing was off by 1rpm, and I felt like I might throw up my lasagna the entire time.

Swings: Decided to roll three dice to see how many sets of 10 swings to do. Came up with 13, so I did 130 swings in sets of 10 with almost full recovery between sets. Again, I felt like I might lose my lasagna, but the swings felt snappy and smooth.

Congratulation on your beautiful baby girl Martin!

I would say something about lifting weights but I don't know much about it so I'll stick with a congratulations.
