Fri Mar 18
No workout. Bunch of walking

Sat Mar 19
Holyoke St. Patrick's day road race. Just shy of 10k @ 45:41. Pretty happy with this as I've done very little recent distance running training, just sprints.

Rest

Tue Mar 22
Still felt sore and run down today. Went to the gym against my better judgment. Not a great workout.

DB Snatch (R/L): Up to 110x2x2, 100x4,4

Curlz: 105x6,6,5

Some intervals on treadmill.

Think I may be a little calorie-deprived. Did a lot of eating post workout.

Brian Stone · 03-24-2011, 07:18 PM

Wed Mar 23

Rest. Run down - did lots of eating.

Thu Mar 24
Felt pretty low-energy for about first 1/2 of workout and then felt great when I busted through it.

DB Rows (R/L): Up to 130#x6,7,7, 120x6
Still making progress here

DL: up to 345x2, 385x2 (PR weight), 345x4
Didn't have a lot of time to rest on the DL sets. Grip was double OH for all sets w/ liquid chalk. Stuff is great!

Fri - Sun, Mar 25-27
Rest.

Mon Mar 28
Decline bench. This is the only barbell bench I seem to be able to do right now that doesn't mess with the shoulders, so I think I'm committing to this one.
Worked up to 225x5, 235x5, 240x5
Felt good. Will work on 245x5x3 next time but that might be a bit aggressive. We'll see how it goes.

Tried some incline bench work after but my shoulders were having none of it. Just not a good angle for me.

Alternated Dips / Chins:
Dips: 10-10-10
Chins: 8-7-5
Chins weak tonight oddly enough after the bench work.

Treadmill: A bit of walking followed by a 6 min mile, which nearly killed me. Then some more walking to cool down.

Tried push-ups at the end but chest / arms were shot.

Tue Mar 29
Bunch of B12 pre-workout so was feeling particularly beastly today.

FS: up to 205x5x2, 210x5 (PR!) (I think the 205 sets were a PR too!)

DB Rows (R/L): up to 130#x7x3 (rep PR!), 120x5

Some eliptical and light running, and random pull-ups to cool down.
