Quick summary on my time in Phoenix, where I had 3 days of training for work.
Tues/Wed/Thursday mornings I got in some good mobility work each morning. Basically focused mainly on Original Strength resets, also with a few other movements for opening up the hips and glutes.
On Tuesday evening I got in a 45 minute walk. It was 110 degrees. Holy shit. Sun was pretty low already though at that point and it actually felt pretty good.
Wed morning after mobility work I went to the gym and got in a quick 20-25 minute training session focused on pull-ups and push-ups of different varieties, in superset fashion. Did 6 sets of pull-ups, in the following fashion, superset with the push-up varieties
6 pull-ups
1 leg push-ups, 10/10
6 chin-ups
lizard push-ups, 3/3
5 chin-ups
10 push-ups
4 pull-ups
1 leg push-ups, 5/5
3 chin-ups
lizard push-ups, 3/3
2 chin-ups
lizard push-ups, 3/3
The chin-ups were unbelievably hard. I hung from a squat rack with a very low bar, which essentially forced me to put my legs at a 90 degree angle straight out as my butt was close to the floor at the bottom portion of each pull-up. I was pulling from an extremely disadvantaged position and it required tremendous ab strength. They were freaking AWESOME and I probably do need to mix it up every once in awhile. I mostly do ring pull-ups with the hands in neutral, which are great, but my body responds pretty well to chin-ups. I don't do as well with pull-ups, that's always kind of been the case. Push-ups felt great and given that I was taking little rest, I broke a bit of a sweat here. Felt good.
Going to be great getting back to the bells, at least for a week (I have to go to NJ the week of July 6 and will be surprised if I have access to any bells that week). Training with Kevin tomorrow, I am excited. Body seems to have done ok with all of this travel, lack of sleep, etc. Encouraging.
