1r MN/PE5-iM for each work set

Vertical Pike Walk

Good pace. About 5 min slower than last week's, but bumped SLS and SL to mastery progression. Plus, feeling pretty lethargic from the Florida trip. Good benchmark to work off for a week or two before moving to next progressions.

WEEK IN FLORIDA

I worked out twice during this week, but also did a lot of walking. Diet was pretty good until the last few days. Candy and fried food for three days straight. Whoops! :)

Back on the horse today. Body feels beat up from the travel and energy levels are low, but we'll do our best.

Static Single Leg Squat

Single Leg Bridge Curl

Good set. Added another set and still under last week's time. 

Barbell Squat 7:20- 21:40

135 x 8 

225 x 6

315 x 2 felt really heavy today. Meh. 

(16:00) 265 x 8 no belt. Perfect set. Great form, the last few a total mental battle. Strength is there, just have to convince myself to stay in the cave a little longer. Wow. Cutting rest makes a big difference in the suckiness of this lift. You did it though. 

(19:00) 265 x 8 no belt Wow! Nice work! Great weight. Mentally tough towards the end, but once I committed, the strength was there. Worst set so far. Stay in the cave!! You can do it!

Hanging Leg Lifts

Focus on compression happening at hips, not lats pulling away from bar. Makes ALL the difference. Last two reps on last two sets I was using more lat and leaning back a bit. Watch that form. Gets tough!

30s MN/PE7-iM for each work set

Vertical Pike Hang


Killer workout today. Really minimized distraction and worked on speeding pace. Great job. I REALLY don't know how I can move any faster now. Those squats were killers. Amazing. Beat pace with an added set of circles.
