That damn “Annie” DOMS is killing my abs. I’ve had twitches and cramps all day. Walked 18 holes yesterday. It was 93% humidity in the middle of the round when I checked. Took a lot out of me for the rest of the day.
Today Bryan came over to workout. I warmed up with 500m on the Ski Erg.
Bench Press
- 10×45#
- 10×95
- 5×135
- 3×165
- 3×195
- 2×215
- 1×235
- 1×255
- 1×270
- 1×280 (PR)
Was supposed to work up to an opening attempt as if I were doing a push-only powerlifting meet. Since I hit 275# (my previous 1RM) for a double on Sunday, I wanted to hit 280 today and have a good idea of what I might be capable of next week when going for a max. I don’t if I have much more than that I have in me!
Accessory
- 2×10 DB Side Raises (25#)
- 2×10 DB Bent-over Side Raises (30#)
- 3×10/10 Bottoms-up KB Presses (30#)
There were pull-ups and rack chins programmed, but they are in tomorrow’s workout too (I actually swapped the order of the days), so no need to hit them 2 days in a row. I did add the KB presses though.
Conditioning
3 Rounds
- 400m Run
- 10 Hang Power Snatch (115#)
Meh. I did the snatches in 2×5 each set. I don’t feel comfortable cycling hang snatches from a high position with 115# so it took me a lot longer. Bryan smoked me by almost 90 seconds. I finished at 7:55.
2:00 Challenge
- Ski Erg Calories
Since I was down 0-1 in the series I had to pick something I was 99% sure I’d win. Got 49 calories to Bryan’s 43 and tied up the series.
