Busy all weekend with my kids until mid day Sunday. Great 4th of July bbq at the house on Friday night despite the rain, with the neighbors. A good week where I was able to take most of Tuesday and Thurs off and hang with the kids. We did a lot of fun stuff this week. I think all of that time has been great for my mental state, and that is helping physically a lot. It's a good thing too as Jill and I have a mediation appt on Tuesday and we meet tomorrow to go over everything in advance of the appt. Obviously that is on my mind, but I think it is going to turn out ok. As far as training goes things are really coming around. I decided to act on my instinct to further shorten the distance/time intervals for running, and really turn this into what they are generally supposed to be - sprinting, or at least the best I can muster for something that passes as sprinting:)
1 min sprint, 1 minute walk, 5 SL DLs, 1 min sprint, 1 minute walk, pull-ups, push-ups - 5 rounds.
Pull ups were 5,4,3,3,2 - Fighter pull up style. Using rings. A total of 17 pull ups, up one from last week as planned.
Push-ups were 2,3,3,4,5 - opposite rep scheme of the pull-ups. Up one rep from last week as planned.
10 minutes of sprinting, 10 minutes of walking, 25/25 SLDLs, 17 pullups, 17 pushups.
Didn't need to hang on the rings as much as last week - felt much looser in the lats, not nearly as tight. Great sign. With that said, lots of mobility planned this evening, need a fast recovery for tomorrow's KB session.
Given the sprinting today, not exactly sure what I will do with the DB 24kg CL/ PR / SQ complex tomorrow. Originally I had planned on 2/1/3 with squatting being the emphasis. Given the pulling and sprinting today, it actually may make a little sense to go with a press emphasis tomorrow, 2/3/1. I think I will go a little bit by feel on this and see how I am feeling with a few TGUs, goblet squats and other things to get warmed up and then make a decision.
