I used purple tubing. That was a lot of reps!
I had a golf meeting on Thursday so didn’t end up doing yoga. Yesterday I worked on the hallway flooring for nine hours and was whooped! Took a little more than two hours this morning to finish laying the floor. Got out in the garage and warmed up with the PVC pipe.

10:00 AMRAP
I started out with a set of three unbroken pull-ups but then did singles every other round and usually did two quick singles, turned around and did the third. The push-ups were slowing me down the most. Got through 12+1.
Finally some nice weather this weekend so we’re going to put screen doors on, put out some bird feeders, golf nine holes, and cook up steaks.

It was sort of a partner workout, sort of solo. Brandi started on the rower and I did the three different movements before we switched. I was getting 500 meters each round, having to go faster and faster to get it. Then B went TURBO in the 5th round and finished at 22:48. I kept going to get my 500 and ended at 23:05.

My back loosened up as the day went, but still not great. Far from my worst tweak though. Warmed up with 12×45 and 12×95 on the bench.

Both types of push-ups were terrible after the barbell.
8 Rounds
Several different movements, which was a nice change.
Super busy and productive day on Sunday with the heat, so skipped a workout. Yesterday my back was good enough to walk 18 holes and after a week away from the course. It wore me out for the day! I edged and mowed the lawn during lunch today.
Final day of the chest program and I’m over it!
MAX Bench Press (225#)
Got nine reps, which is 1 more than Saturday and 1 short of tying my best ever.
100 HR Push-ups
I did 3s through 81 and then quick singles to finish in 5:34. Still now close to my PR, but almost 30 seconds faster than last week.
Seated Shoulder Press
I did 15-13-12 with 110, 15-14–15 with 90, and 22-20-20 with 70 pounds. Decided to increase 15# per set over the last time and ended up with 905 more total pounds lifted. 💪

I was smoked, but wanted to see if I could jump up to the 25s. I barely made it through two sets and then used 20s for the last four sets.
FIN!
We really liked this program and it seemed to work well. We both put on size and got more comfortable with all the volume. Probably should have drank more protein shakes because it was so many reps, especially the Tuesday workouts. I think we’re going to start an arm program next.
About an hour after the workout we went for a 2.62 mile walk in about 45 minutes.
Another brutally hot and humid day. My back was much better through the night and it was tons easier to stand up out of bed this morning.
MAX Bench Press (200#)
One better than Saturday with 16 reps.
100 HR Push-ups
We decided to switch it up for the final two weeks and try hand releases. I’ve never been good at this and can’t beat the time I set way back in 2013. Today was not the day either. I did threes through 54 and then had to go to doubles. It took me 6:03! Probably halfway through or more I realized that putting my arms above my head to rest at the bottom was probably a bad idea. I need to rest with arms down to sides.
Incline Bench Press
12-11-11 @ 135#
16-15-15 @ 115#
20-20-21 @ 95#
I don’t really like the feeling of incline on my shoulders.

Friday afternoon we drove up to Long Lake and Saturday we went for a there mile walk. Yesterday before lunch we did a workout I’ve done a couple times out here before.
5 Rounds
I was a full five minutes slower than last year, taking 34:37! I need to start running more.
The outside of my hips are feeling that squat superset again and my upper body is kind of tired. Golf was rained out today, so getting in a workout since we’re heading out of town for vacation tomorrow.

Oh man was I feeling it during the push-ups!

I could really feel my biceps from yesterday.

I did 13-14-14-14-15. Originally I wrote it with 1:00 rests, but we shared a space, so I put 10 seconds of transition in between us so we could swap out the box height. The rest turned out to be just right.
My shoulder area and back were tight this morning from the snatches, but nothing horrible. I can feel my hammies from the leg work. Out in the garage at 4pm.
2 Rounds
16:00 AMRAP
I did three rounds of 5×2 and two rounds of 2×2 plus 6×1 for the pull-ups. Averaged just over 1,200 cal/hr on the rower. Finished with 4+21.
I wanted to do 10 handstand push-ups for the last movement, but I kicked up and did one before the workout and my shoulder still isn’t ready. To be honest I probable shouldn’t hake picked the push-ups because those didn’t feel awesome either.
4 Rounds
Took about 17 minutes to do without breaks.
50 HR Push-ups
Shoulders not great so I didn’t do 100 as planned. Took 1:58.

10:00 Airdyne (AD2)
An easy 3.5 miles at about 70 RPM.
Walked about 2.5 miles with my sister in the afternoon.
