hqdefault[1]Today was an all upper body session that included some heavy top ends with curls and cable shrugs.  I started with 21 pull ups for good measure.

My lower body does not feel too bad after resuming running yesterday.  I feel some mild pain on my right side but it is the least severe that I have felt in awhile.

Back up and running

running-logo[1]So during my five days away from the gym I did keep moderately active, doing two 20 mile bike rides, a small workout yesterday as well as unconventional exercise from house chores such as pressure washing the pool deck and cage.

Today I jumped back into a run/ride brick after skipping running last week.  Things went better than expected, especially considering I didn’t take my normal pre-run anti-inflammatory to keep the swelling down.  I didn’t really have the warm up limp that I have experienced during prior sessions until the IT band loosened up.

Today’s Workout

Run/Ride brick

20 minute run – 2.08 miles covered

10 minute recumbent bike – 2.45 miles covered

360_2[1]My buddy was back from his trip so I agreed to join him in a bench press session, despite just doing the movement on Monday.  You may recall me whining about feeling weak during Monday’s session, I could barely get 225 off my chest and my reps at lower numbers were down at least 25% as well.

Well for some reason 72 hours made a big difference in my pushing strength.  My numbers were markedly better at every step of the ladder.  Who knows?

 

Today’s Workout

5 minutes cardio/stretching

Barbell bench press – 135lbs x 10, 185lbs x 5, 225lbs x 1, 235lbs x 1, 205lbs x 6, 185lbs x 10, 185lbs x 9, 135lbs x 14 (5 reg, 9 dead stop), 135lbs x 10 (dead stop), 135lbs x 11 (dead stop)

12 pull ups

mma_asilva[1]I decided to do a more full body cardio workout using the rower for the first part of my lunchtime brick.  I have now dialed in exactly what I need to do to consistently keep my pace in the 2:10-2:15 per 500 meters range.  It basically involves using my upper body to pull through more of the work stroke instead of just the end of it.

Today’s Workout

5 minutes cardio/stretching

Row/ride brick

20 minutes Concept 2 rower – 4544 meters covered

10 minutes stationary bike – 3.16 miles covered

mens_fitness_6469Unlike yesterdays chest workout where I generally felt weak, I felt pretty decent today working the lower body.  After intentionally skipping Smith squats last week I went back to them today and felt more stable under the bar.  I guess you just never know what each day will bring.

 

Today’s Workout

5 minutes cardio/stretching

20 pull ups

Smith machine squats –  135lbs x 10, 185lbs x 10, 205lbs x 5, 225lbs x 3, 135lbs x 12

Seated leg extension – 110lbs x 10, 150lbs x 8, 210lbs x 6

Seated leg curl – 100lbs x 10, 120lbs x 10, 140lbs x 8

Seated rotary calf extension – 190lbs x 10, 270lbs x 8, 310lbs x 6

18 pull ups
