workout log, April 30th, 2009

Under the bar on a bench is a great place to be...
is it because I get to lie down?
Perhaps...but is there really anything wrong with that? OK, so I will be working towards lying down with big weights in my hands but hey there really is nothing wrong with that!!

warm up:
45 x 5
55 x 5
65 x 5

work sets:
70 x 5
75 x 5
80x 15
*whew! the last 4 were hard getting up!

65 x 10 x 5

assistance work:
Pull ups. 50 reps needed to be completed. I did just that.
5 x 10

*Currently I can only do 1-2 reps with no assistance. Obviously that would take me a bit of time to get to 50. So I helped my self by using a green (medium thick) jump stretch band that helps me up towards the bar by unloading approximately 30% of my body weight. It took 10 sets but I got the job done.

Later on this morning...I ran those intervals...that's right...20 sets of sprints...40 seconds at my mile run of 9:41 and 20 seconds at a sprint (mile pace 6:41)...non stop...no breaks...and then I cooled down with a 20 minute brisk walk at a 10% incline...ah good times...now if only this weather would break so I can at least torture my self outdoors somewhere...interestingly enough...my legs still feel like jello!
Tonight a soak in the tub is needed :)
