Fictional Strength for L'il Dub

Time: ~2 PM
Place: Shaf's Gloryhole
Soundtrack: "Training I" Hard and rap mix

Bench press ladders complexed with explosive push ups

warm up.

285x1/2/3 + 5, 285x1/2 + 5 (1), 285x1/2/3 + 9 (2)

(1) Notice I quit before failure. That second rung was surprisingly hard...I don't think I rested enough.

(2) I got the whole ladder. Why? That whole synaptic facilitation thing, probably. Plus, that third rep was a bitch. Repped out on explosive push ups instead of 225. I stopped when my hands wouldn't leave the floor anymore, i.e. at 9 reps.

Bradford presses:

45x10, 95x10, 115x6, 135x3, 95x8

-note that 1 rep is the movement from front to back to front again. I am noticing a pump on these today. The low reps on the 135 represents a bit of uneasiness with putting the weight behind my neck.

hex bar row/shrug:

135x15/15, 185x7/10, 205x4/8

METCON: BWP 1A circuit (see previous blog entries for explanation)

25/10+10/10
20/13+7/8
20/10+5/7

Shit. Sweaty. Lungs bellowing. Hard to type

Core work. kb windmills and rope rollouts

TKES

Good one.
