Heading to the Arnold

Second trip to the chiropractor went well. He did some ultrasound therapy on the shoulder instead of e-stim. Also put some kinesio tape on there to aid drainage away from the shoulder.

Heading down to Columbus, OH for the weekend to attend the Arnold Sports Festival, which should be a lot of fun. Hit up a garage workout with Kevin at 10am. Will be nice to give the shoulder until Monday to rest.

Strength

Front Squat 5×3 @ 80-90%

  • 2x10x45#
  • 5×135#
  • 3×205#
  • 3×235#
  • 3×245#
  • 3×255#
  • 3×265#
  • 3×270#
  • 3×270#

Load of #65 more pounds for the 5 working sets over 3 weeks ago. 245# was only 79% but after doing 235# I dialed back the plan. Originally was going to try 250-260-265-270-275, which wouldn’t have happened. Have a plan, but be willing to adjust.

Conditioning

7 Rounds (Partners – alternate doing a full round until each does 7)

  • 10 Box Jumps (24″)
  • 20 GHD Sit-ups

Kevin and I finished in 11:57. Nice steady pace; nothing crazy. Got a sweat on, but wasn’t dead at the end.

Accessory

  • 5×10 Reverse Hypers on GHD with green band

Hopefully our hotel has a treadmill or something so I can do some intervals or long slow cardio for a couple of workouts this weekend. Rest time for the shoulder!
