I started out doing 10/10 side step-ups for the first two rounds, but I have a really good bruise near my right knee which was not feeling good, so for the last two rounds I did normal step-ups. My back and left hip have been an issue, so I subbed in the good mornings today. My rounds were done at 3:33, 8:00, 12:13, and 16:22.

I wasn’t feeling the greatest through the workout and afterwards. Hope I’m not coming down with something.

Rainouts

Our legs were really feeling it from the Thursday to Saturday workouts, so on Sunday we played some pickleball, which got rained out and later walked three holes of golf before another storm rolled in. Then yesterday I walked 18.

  • 1:00 Rest

After last weeks attempt I was not doing the handstand push-ups again, so picked a challenging weight for the dumbbells and sat on the bench to do them. When we were warming up I went to do a twisting jump from the side with my troubling hip and it was horrible pain, so step-ups for me. I finished the rounds at 3:30, 7:55, 12:11, 16:25.

Extra Humid

The forecast showed rain all day, so I didn’t golf, but they were wrong for the second day in a row. Maybe a good thing I didn’t golf though, because my back bothered me throughout the day. We did get some rain today though, which made it extra humid working out in the garage again.

MAX Push-ups

Only 30 push-ups though, which is five fewer.

These felt ok.

50 DB Bench Press (50/25#)

Starting to Squat Some Weight

Yesterday was cold and rainy, so no golf again. My upper body was sore from the dumbbell thruster and muscle-up workout. Didn’t seem to feel much of anything from the second dose of the vaccine, which was good. Sure was nice to have a rest day and I didn’t work on my living room project much either. My chest is pretty sore from the other day.

Warm-up

  • 3:00 BikeErg (1,523m)
  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walk
  • 80′ Monster Walk

Weightlifting

Squat Clean + Hang Squat Clean

  • 185
  • 195
  • 205
  • 210

I belted up starting with the 175. Felt pretty good overall. The program called for two sets at 80% and three sets at 85%, but I wanted to work my way through smaller jumps.

Conditioning

Partner

Midline

E4M – 4 Rounds

  • 50s Sandbag Bear Hug Hold (100#)
  • 20 DB Pull Throughs (60#)

No work on my project tonight or tomorrow either. Stepping up the extra five pounds for those side crunches made a difference.
