Got going Saturday afternoon in pouring rain, miserable weather, but I was pretty pumped up to do some training so frankly I didn't care. Body felt good. My traps are pretty shot today from doing TGU ladders yesterday and then beast swings with the 48kg. Can't tell if it was the TGUs or the 48kg or both that contributed, but I am feeling it a bit. Left overhead position particularly is a bit tight, that is my strong (not the stronger:) ) side and I do think get up reps can be a bit tough on that shoulder. However, I also know they are extremely good for that shoulder if maintaining good technique - this is just the process of getting strong.
In any event this is what I did today:
3 min run, SL DLs 5/5, 3 min run, Fighter Program pull-ups for the second week (sets with reps 5/4/3/2/2, up from 5/4/3/2/1 last week), 5 push-ups
x 5
Total of 30 minutes running, 25/25 SL DLs, 16 pull-ups, 25 push-ups
Good stuff today. Powerful running, got stretched out for the pull ups with a lot of bar hangs first, that definitely helped. Focused on really controlling the negatives, getting to full ROM at the bottom, and then pulling with the lats for the next rep. Good practice. Elbows and forearms feel better than a week ago, even after what was definitely a strong week of training with plenty of heavy stuff in there. Good signs.
