Fri, 11 Dec 15
Today was the last class of the semester. All that remains now is 4 fun filled days of finals and then I have a brief respite until I start visceral anatomy in January. Marc and I have decided that we are going to have to change up our training schedule because of finals, so the next week of training is going to be somewhat played by ear based on studying, how we feel, and the order of final exams. Tentative plan is to train Mon on Sun, Wed on Tues (though this is the least firmly scheduled day), and Fri on Thurs. We'll see if that holds. Today was the first time I've done seated box jumps in a long time and I can already guarantee that these will be enormously helpful and that I will finish better on them than last time I had them in my program.
Seated DB Box Jumps (to 36")
5xBW
3x10
3x20
2x3x30
2x3x35
Axle DB C&P
5ea x 70
3ea x 90
3x6ea x 120 - Doing sets of 12 on this exercise doubles as an excellent form of "cardio" (read: I was sucking wind like a diminutive female canine).
Neutral Grip Lat Pulldowns
12x70
15x115
2x15x140
DB Shrugs/Seated Face Pulls
2x{30x90/20x30}
30x90/20x35 - These did not give me the wicked upper back pump that they did last week so time to make them harder.
Single Arm DB Skull Crushers/Chain Hammer Curls
3x{15ea x 25/15x65} - Being able to do curls again is joyful and triumphant.
