Today turned out to be one of those "punch the clock" training days. I woke up this morning tired and extremely sore from Saturday's punishment and this was following a rest day on Sunday. I considered whether I should take an extra rest day or somehow rearrange my training schedule this week. Instead I decided to play the cards I was dealt and try to foam roll my way back to life!
A. Squat Clean: Work up to a 1 Rep Max
- It had been a while since I maxed out on Squat Cleans. The last time I'm pretty sure that I got 225# no problem but I couldn't stand up with 230#.
- I got 235# which was a struggle and I got under 240 but couldn't get out of the hole. My legs just felt dead. I had really wanted to get 245 today but I'm not going to beat myself up over this. I will get at least 240 next time I try this.
B1. Front Squat @ 20x1, 1 rep @ 85% x 10 sets, rest 1:00
- Again, my legs just were not there today. First set I failed at 225 which is usually an easy 1 rep for me. Had to drop to 215 then bumped up to 220 and then back down to 205 for the very last set. These should have been easy but they were not.
B2. Weighted, pronated pull-up cluster, 1.1 x 10 sets, rest 1:00
- All sets with 70# kettlebell. These weren't too bad.
C1. Walking barbell lunge @ 11x0 x 12 reps per leg x 3 sets, rest 1:30
- All set @ 85#. All I could manage today.
C2. Chest to Bar pull-up cluster, 7.7.7 x 3 sets, rest 1:30
- No misses but had to take at least 10-15 seconds between sets of 7 in order to go unbroken.
Row sprints tomorrow!! Can't wait! May need to pick up some Ben-gay on the way home tonight!
