Was supposed to lift yesterday, but I was completely exhausted when I got home from practice. Matt and I had finished working on the Acro syllabus so at least I had been active that day. Speaking of Matt, he put us over the $400 mark last night with the fundraiser! Thank you everyone who has been donating; pass the word along, let's keep this momentum up!
So I just pushed yesterday's workout to today. I think I've got a blog post in the works -- percolating up in the 'ol noggin -- about training around life. How to train when you've got an insane schedule/are wiped out/sick etc.
Anyhoo, great workout today. Brought the Fat Gripz out for today's workout. These little fellas wrap-around the barbell to make the effective diameter larger. In turn, this works your grip much more than a normal barbell would. They're pretty cool. Added an extra set to both the 225# and 185# working sets. Next week I might up the weight, we'll see. I'm also at IJA next week, so I'll have to find a gym out near Purdue.
I also dug up my dip/pull-up belt. I figure that if I'm doing high sets of sub-maximal chin-ups on Tuesday, the least I can do is add a little weight to them as I go. Started with 10# today, I'll slowly work my way up; I'm in no rush. Also, I had the bright idea of using the chain to wrap around my feet and do weighted hanging-leg-raises, which were pretty damn awesome. Definitely going to keep those in the mix.
My legs were quite sore/stiff today, so I changed up my support work to get some blood pumping through them. Speaking of blog posts in the work, I can see a few other topics down the pipeline:
- Programming the deadlift
- Programming non-main movements
- Programming accessory work
- Prehab/Rehab
- Recovery
Warmup
- Arm-spins
listed as weight x sets x reps
