Too Much Caffeine

I had a solo round of golf walking 18 holes yesterday. Had to camp under a tree on the 9th for about 30 minutes and still finished in just over 3 hours.

Warmed up with a few reps of various movements and some PVC stuff. I had another (partial) cup of coffee about an hour before the workout and it was a bad idea.

Chest, Triceps, Shoulders, and Conditioning

I started on the movements and B started on the cardio parts.

3 Sets

  • Partner A: 10 Burpees
  • Partner B:
    • 10 DB Bench Press (20/35# DBs)
    • 10 DB Flys (15/25# DBs)

Much better weight choices for me this week. Tried jump up/back burpees in set two for the first time in awhile. Gassed me.

3 Sets

  • Partner A: 75 Jump Rope
  • Partner B:
    • 10/15 Banded Uppercut Chest Fly (red CS)
    • 15 Incline Push-ups (on bench, 5 wide, 5 normal, 5 close)

I messed up doing 15 reps of the banded movement on the first set, so stuck with it. The push-ups are really hard at this point.

3 Sets

  • Partner A: 10 Burpees
  • Partner B:
    • 8 Front Raise + Lateral Raise (5/8# DBs)
    • 8 [Seated] Arnold Press (12/25# DBs)

Stepped back and jumped up on every set of burpees.

3 Sets

  • Partner A: 50 Jump Rope
  • Partner B:
    • 10 DB Upright Rows (15/25# DBs)
    • 10 DB Around the World (5/8# DBs)

2 Sets

  • Partner A: 10 Burpees
  • Partner B:
    • 15 DB Skull Crushers (15/25# DBs)
    • 15 French Presses (25/30# DB)

Went back to step back/up burpees.

2 Sets

  • Partner A: 50 Jump Rope
  • Partner B:
    • 15 OH Tricep Extensions (rope on cable pulley, 27#)
    • 10 Diamond Push-ups

I went 4-3-3 on both rounds of push-ups. We finished over four minutes faster in 31:53. Sitting here shortly after the workout and haven’t felt like this in quite some time.

Tri No More

Walked 18 holes yesterday because the weather was perfect and there was a chance we’d only be able to play 9 holes today.

Upper Body & Conditioning

3 Sets

  • Partner A: 10 Burpees
  • Partner B:
    • 10 DB Bench Press (15-20-20/50# DBs)
    • 10 DB Flys (15/30# DBs)

  • Partner B:
    • 8 Front Raise + Lateral Raise (8-5-5/8# DBs)
    • 8 Arnold Press (15-12-10/25# DBs)

I did my Arnold presses seated.

3 Sets

  • Partner A: 50 Jump Rope
  • Partner B:
    • 10 DB Upright Rows (12-15-15/20# DBs)
    • 10 DB Around the World (5/8# DBs)

2 Sets

  • Partner A: 50 Jump Rope
  • Partner B:
    • 15 OH Tricep Extensions (rope on cable pulley, 27#)
    • 10 Diamond Push-ups

This was worse than the tricep focused workout I did in Cancun and I could barely move my arms for days. We’re going to be feeling this one! We finished in 36:10.

Taters

Much needed rest day yesterday. Out in the garage at 4pm today.

Warm-up

  • 80′ Lateral Monster Walks
  • 80′ Monster Walks
  • 10 Air Squats
  • 5 Taters (45#)
  • 10 alt Curtsy Lunges (35# KB)

Conditioning

6 Rounds

  • 24 Taters (35#)
  • 10/10 alt Curtsy Lunges (switch arms after 10, 35#)
  • 36 Incline Bar Push-ups

Got this one from Ibex, except I scaled 24 push-ups to these since my shoulder isn’t happy with regular push-ups yet. They didn’t say how heavy, but I made the right kettlebell choice. I never set the KB down, by my hips were already in fire by the end of round one. I split the push-ups 20-16 for five rounds and then finished unbroken at 19:15.

Midline

E2M – 5 Sets

  • 16 alt V-ups
  • 16 Plank Jumps
  • 40 Hollow Flutter Kicks

Took about 50-55 seconds and there was some real burn!

Finished with Crossover Symmetry Recovery.

By the end of the day my back was pretty tight. May retire the taters after our first time with them.

Time for More Shoulder Rest

Warm-up

  • Crossover Symmetry Activation
  • 3:00 TrueForm Run (0.54 km)
  • 2 Sets
    • 10 Scap Pull-ups
    • 10 PVC Passes

Chest & Triceps

Bench Press

  • 10×45#
  • 8×95
  • 5×135
  • 5×165

Close Grip Bench Press

  • 5×125#
  • 5×145
  • 5×165

Wasn’t great on my shoulder so I switched to close grip.

4 Sets

  • 10 DB Bench Press (60# DBs)
  • 10 DB Fly (35# DBs)

4 Sets

  • 12 Tricep Push Downs (bar, 71#
  • 30 Incline Bar Push-ups (bench press height)

Was supposed to be max push-ups, but that also is not a good position for my shoulder.

4 Sets

  • 12 Overhead Cable Tricep Extensions (rope, 49#)
  • 12 DB Pull Over (50-60-60-60#)

Conditioning

5 Rounds

  • 10 Goblet Squats (50# DB)
  • 10 Ring Rows
  • 10 Deadlifts (155#)

Time to start doing single dumbbell movements that could be in the Open. Squats felt good and I learned I actually prefer the dumbbell for a goblet squat. I broke the last 2-3 rounds of ring rows 5-5. Deadlifts got slow. Took me 6:36.

Track & Donuts

Walked 18 holes yesterday and was a little sore in my chest and shoulders. Got a slight headache later even though I drank a lot of water with electrolytes. We headed to the track at Heritage High School at 3:00 today. Warmed up with a 400m jog.

5 Rounds

  • 200m Run
  • 100m Sprint
  • 100m Walk
  • 200m Run
  • 100m Sprint
  • 100m Walk
  • 100m Sandbag Carry (100/65#)

Though I stayed pretty consistent and I felt good. Finished in 31:20. Not knowing how long something like this would take I originally programmed four rounds and added the fifth when I got there to make sure I went over the 30 minute time domain. With the warm humid weather my arms were so sweaty it got increasingly hard to keep golf of the sandbag, but I made each 100 meters unbroken.

6 Rounds

  • 5x Bleacher Runs (18 steps)
  • 20 Incline Push-ups (2nd bleacher seat)

This was much worst than I expected! So nice for a change of scenery and to be outside.

Happy National Donut Day!!2020-national-donut-day.jpeg
