Strength (BP, Squat, Dips)

(Authorities seized more than 20 tons of marijuana in connection with a cross-border tunnel equipped with a rail car, fluorescent lighting and a ventilation system. The tunnel found Thursday is 2,200 feet long — more than seven football fields — and runs from the kitchen of a home in Tijuana, Mexico, to two warehouses in San Diego.)

Strength

2x25 Pushups

Bench Press 3x5
185,195,205

Squat 3x5
205,225,245

Bodyweight Parallel Bar Dips 3x20

Notes: Bench press has seem a little stalled the past couple of weeks, not getting enough to eat lately probably has a little to do with it. Squats #'s are climbing good, been focusing alot on form lately and seems to be working out pretty well, the last set of 245 felt fairly easy.

Strength+Run (PC,WD,Run)

(RPG swat, when a simple pat on the back will not suffice.)

Strength

Power Clean 5x3
95,145,145,125,115

Weighted Dips 3x7
25,25,25

Conditioning

1 Mile run at jog pace

5-100yd. Sprints

3x15 Toes to Bar

Notes: Dragged around today pretty badly today, lack of sleep over the weekend caught up with me. Nutrition was so-so over the weekend too which is probably part of it as well. Dips felt way easier than last week with 25, will increase to 35 next time.

Strength (Squat, Press, WP)


Strength

Squat 3x5
205,215,215

Press 3x5
95,105,105

Weighted Pullups 3x5 (Plate&Belt)
35,35,35

Notes: Went up to 35 pounds on the weighted pullups today, which is the first time I have been able to rep out sets at this weight, so pretty happy about that. Squats and presses went well, added weight from last week. The squats at this weight were not bad at all, probably going to continue to bump up the weight by 20 pounds a week, however, on the press's im pretty close, going to estimate 140-150ish 1rm right now.

Rest/Mountain Biking

Biking 2-3 Hours

Body: Bruised my ankle sometime during in the week on something, other than that all is good.

Nutrition: Pretty good, although I'm about a pint into a quart of Breyers as I am typing this. Maybe the epic Breyers Thread applies to me.

Notes: Went for probably my last ride on the trails for the year, supposed to be in the 20's next week so I guess the snow will soon follow. I never really understood the concept of mountain biking in the snow. Bike computer went dead so lost track of mileage.

Rest Day


Notes: Scheduled rest day, little sore here and there nothing too major. Plan to go for a ride tomorrow or a swim I guess we'll see what the weather is like. First week of new program went well, i'll probably stick this out till January in hopes of having pretty good increases to my major lifts.

Conditioning

3 Mile Run

2x25 Dirty Dogs (each leg)

Notes: Run felt great, really wanted to do four but the track started to get crowded upstairs. Going to start doing a little extra work on my ITB bands with dirty dogs, cable machine, and rubber bands. Probably going shoot for once a week after a workout. According to BUD/s reports it seems those are one of the first to go out if they arent built up properly.

Strength+Conditioning (PC,WD,Run)

Warmup: 500m Row

Strength-

Power Clean 3x5
90,90,110

Weighted Dip 3x5
25,25,25 (Using plate+belt)

Conditioning-

1 mile run - 7:11
Plank hold 2x2:00

Notes: Clean form felt pretty solid, need to focus on the bar resting more on my shoulders and not so much on my wrists at the top. Run felt good, foot feels pretty much back to normal during runs and I plan to start increasing my mileage now.

Strength (Squat,Press,WP)


Strength

Squat 3x5
185,185,185

Press 3x5
95,95,95

Weighted Pullups 3x5 (using plate+belt)
35,25,25

Notes: Stumbled upon this program and thought I would give it a try for the time being. I'm afraid my bodyweight exercises are surpassing my overall strength. While I do want to be efficient with my BW, I want just as much ability with the heavy lifts. I really like how this program is organized, I will of course add on swims and runs, and use the two days containing "conditioning" for short but brutal metcons.

Rest Day

(On this day in 1969, Apollo 12 was launched on the second manned mission to the moon.)

Notes: Unplanned rest day, but a little extra is always welcome. Happy Birthday, Love!

Rest Day

(On this day in 1982, The Vietnam Veterans Memorial was dedicated in Washington, D.C. With the addition of six names added in 2010 the total is now 58,267 names listed on the Memorial.)

Notes: Lower back pretty sore, all else is great. I think about 10 chocolate chip cookies would classify this as  a cheat day.

Notes: Lifted mainly with focus on form this evening. Haven't put much time/work into heavy lifting lately in areas such as deadlifts, squats, ect. as I should have been. Definately going to start trying to incorporate at least 2 days of heavy lifting into the schedule, with the thinking of not falling to crap when the the heavy boats/logs come out.

30 x Box Jump (24" box)

Notes: 50yd. CSS lap average was roughly 50 seconds today. I have not timed my 500yd. in quite awhile, so I plan to do so soon, if I could keep this pace up throughout that would land me a 8:20-:30ish completion, which would be ideal. Right shoulder still a little sore but had no effects on the workout.

Rest Day

(In 1971 on this day, the album "Led Zeppelin IV," which included the song "Stairway to Heaven," was released.)

Notes: Mondays have pretty much turned into a scheduled rest day due to how my classes are organized this semester. Right shoulder pretty sore from my blooper on a press yesterday, other than that all is good to go.
