Max Chins

Last night my legs were really tired from the squats. Woke up with my upper body being sore again. Out in the garage before lunch.

Year of the Engine – Time Trial

20:00 Airdyne

Started fast for a minute, settled in to 80 RPM, and picked up the pace over the last four minutes. I could average a quicker pace through this whole thing next time. Did 685 cals and 12.99 km, which is 0.05 km better than last month.

Went to the gym at 4pm

Warm-up

• 2:00 Echo Bike (25 cals)
• 3 Rounds
  • 10 PVC Passes
  • 10 Good Mornings (45#)
  • 5 Ring Rows
  • 10 Air Squats

Strength

5 Sets

• MAX Strict Chin-ups
• 10 DB Bench Press (60#)
• 2:00 Rest

Was planning to do this work before or after class to keep the gains going until I can bench again next week. Decided to do it in place of the 3RM snatch that was programmed. Again, not risking getting hurt before I leave for the wedding in the morning. I got 16-10-8-8-8 for the chin-ups.

Conditioning

• 60 cal Row
• 30 T2B
• 20 Wall Balls (20#, 10′)
• 10 Deadlifts (185#)
• 5 Muscle-ups
• 10 Deadlifts
• 20 Wall Balls
• 30 T2B
• 60 cal Row

I did 10×45# and 5×135# deadlift to warm-up. The workout was 40 calories on the bike, but I did enough of that today, so subbed in the 60 calorie rows. I scaled the deadlifts back from 225# to be cautious. First T2B were done in 3×10, wall balls were 2×10 both times because I was weak sauce after all of those squats yesterday and I needed some air. I did 2×5 on both sets of deadlifts, unbroken muscles, and 6×5 on the second 30 T2B. Finished in 16:16, I think, but it may have been in the 16:40s.
