Twelves for Back

My back is still really tight, but at least the low back is all muscle soreness and not pain. Slept about 9 hours each of the last two nights to help with recovery. Out in the garage after 10am.

Back

3 Sets

  • 12 Seated DB Bent Over Fly (30#)
  • 12 Seated DB Bent Over Row (30#)
  • 12 Face Pull (rope, 54-60-60#)

3 Sets

  • 12 Incline Straight Arm Lat Pulldowns (60-71-71#)
  • 12 Incline Forward Facing Lat Pulldowns (93-104-104#)

3 Sets

  • 12 Standing Offset Row to Chest (double handle, 71-76-82#)

I liked the 12 reps sets and going a bit lighter I tried to bust through everything and not take breaks. Good pump!

Conditioning

5 Rounds

  • 20 cal Row
  • 20 Push-ups

Pulled an average of about 1,400+ cal/hr over the course of the workout, with the last two rounds being my fastest. Went 10-10 on every round of push-ups. Finished in 7:55.

Shoulder DOMs

The DOMs kicking on around my shoulders, upper back, and calves is real from 21.1. Yesterday I went back to the video and evaluated my time splits and was really thinking about a redo. Not going to push it though. My calf and shoulder survived and did pretty well I must say. No need to hit them both with a lot more reps so soon. I need to survive the upcoming two weeks of the open. Out in the garage at noon.

Back

3 Sets

  • 10 Lat Pulldowns (115#)
  • 10 Underhand Lat Pulldowns (115#)

3 Sets

  • 10 Seated Cable Row (115#)
  • 10 Incline DB Back Fly (30#)

3 Sets

  • 10 Standing Offset Double Handle Row (93#)
  • 10 Incline DB Rows (40#)

Midline

3 Rounds

  • 15 V-ups
  • 10 Plank Walkouts
  • 30 Oblique Crunches

I came out hot, flying through the V-ups. The plank extensions were really hard though, with my sore shoulders. I can feel these crunches more in my oblique than any other movement I can think of. Finished in 6:40.

Conditioning

8:00 EMOM (alt)

  • 18 cal Row
  • 15 Burpees

I knew this was going to be rough and it sure was. The row took about 39-38-38-38 seconds according to the computer (I couldn’t see the clock with the way I had setup). I started out at 46 seconds for the burpees and got a second faster each time. No joke and a perfect workout for today.
