Running water never goes stale, so you got to just keep on flowing.
-Bruce Lee
Early afternoon
Foam roller work
50 double unders for time: 60 seconds
Every minute on the minute for 10 minutes:
5 Dumbbell Incline Bench Presses (100#)
2 Squats (165#-60% 1RM)
4 Pullups
Total weight moved: 12,100#
Death by Power Clean and Jerk (120#)
Start with 1 rep on the first minute, and add one additional rep for each minute thereafter, attempting to reach 14 total minutes.
Reached 10 successful rounds. Total weight moved: 6600#.
Total weight moved for the day: 18,700#
Workout comments: The ideal weight for the Power Clean and Jerk workout was 135#, but I scaled it down because I got cold feet. It was surprising how quickly things started progressing downhill. As soon as you start breaking things up into sets, it becomes very difficult to get back into a rhythm. Obviously a great way to practice for Grace.
I warmed up with some foam roller work prior to the workout and felt some heat and light discomfort after the workout in my left upper hamstring. Pretty sure this is just the broken down tissue I created, so nothing really to worry about. The foam roller feels great on the back muscles because it's almost relaxing to lay on it. But with my short arms, it becomes difficult to work the legs, because you are forced to support your own weight in order to get deep into the muscle tissue. Still pretty good overall. I'm still feeling pretty tight in the mornings, but stretching each night for 10-15 minutes is making a difference.
