Half time

I worked out late tonight. I went shopping, then I was on Facebook. I am an addict. So, I tried the half work out and will do the other half tomorrow.

Military press 70# 4-4, 4-2, 4 nice form
Clean 80# 4-4, 3-3, 4 form was so-so at beginning, very nice by 3-3 and 4

Riding

I realized that 3 full weight workouts and a metcon per week is too draining.  Am going to do two full weight workouts and 2 half weight workouts per week.  We'll see how that goes.

Today I just rode the bike (3.0) for 20 minutes just to stay active.  I tried to work on pull ups with the bands and tried to learn medicine ball cleans (I looked like a clown on the cleans!).

Storm after the calm

Took a three day rest.  Had too much work and am a little sad over some personal shit.  Today I did my regular workout.  It was tough, but I feel better.

Military press  75#  5-3, 4-2, 4
Front squat  75#  4-4, 3-3, 3-1  Form was atrocious
Bench press  85#   4-4, 2-2-1-1, 2-2   Need to hold breath (tighten like in martial arts)

My trainer is a butthead

OMG was this workout hell!!!!  My trainer is a butthead...for many reasons.

Clean  75#  8,6,4
Front squat  75#  8,6,4
Military press  70#  5-3, 4-2, 4
Bench 85#  3-3-2, 3-3, 2-2

Move up to 80# on clean, need to improve form on squats, and need to press lower on chest for presses since my form messed me up

oh yeah....did I forget to tell you that my trainer is a butthead?

Not Daydreamin' Anymore

Yesterday I spent way too  much time on Facebook and daydreaming.  The funny thing is that the break did me some good.  My trainer said that my lifts were smoother, although I still need to watch my form.

Today workout:

Clean 75#  8,6,4  still need to work on form to move up
Military press  70#  5-3, 4-2, 4
Front squat 70# 8,6,4   blew through these, need to make sure that elbow stay up, next time is 75#!!!!!!
Bench press  80#  8,6,4  woot, woot, gonna move up to 85# next time

I guess that daydreaming ain't so bad after all.....

Today was awesome.  I was able to work away from home, come back early, work out, and now bring my munchkin to Tae Kwon Do!  The sun is shining, and I can ride with the convertible top down.  Woot, woot!
