Ok I guess I'd better start posting up what few numbers I'm doing until I get to where I need to be to qualify for the nationals
cos Rebirth said if I didn't pull 4 plates by the end of this month he would start throwing 45lb plates at me.


Primary song for my training day today!!!!

405 x 3 (sumo)
455 x 3 (conventional stance)

505 x 2 (1-sumo/quick reset/1-conventional stance)
This sux battling through injuries and getting old in general. Re-starts suck.
Very good for what it is though.

2" Deficit Deadlift:
315 x 8 (conventional stance/belted/chalked)
This seemed easy for some reason. Will be sore tomorrow. Very pleased for today.

Bell Shrugs:

30 x 20
50, 60,70,80 x 12
Satisfied for today.

Pull-aparts:
(used tow strap and Spud strap handles at squat rack)
2 x myself x 12
Good here for today--add another set next training day.

Pull-throughs:
(attach to rack post and start with elbows inside knees and explode into stand up position)
2 x green jump stretch band x 12
Good. Now add in another set here too.

Abs:
(giant sets)
Standing Side Twists:
Bent-over Twists:
Standing Side Bends:
3 x 20
Good on these for today.

CONDITIONING:
Heavy bag work:
3 x 1 minute round intervals
(combination body shots/machine gun punches/hooks/upper cuts/knee and elbow strikes)
(immediately go to the elliptical)

Elliptical:
10 minutes
(fast and slow 1 minute intervals/2 min cool down)


Time/Comments:
Overall it was a very good training day today.
Satisfied but it's time to move forward like a D9 dozer--slow and steady.
Smart and strategical not fast and hap-hazard.
Motivation was around 8.5

Stop at spider curls and stretched due to limited time to get 2 Dr. appointments this morning and getting oil change/tires rotated/brakes checked on my truck before going into work.
I didn't get my conditioning in like I wanted to so I'll make it up this weekend, but not Sunday. It's Mother's Day.
Overall it was still a good training day. Motivation was around 8 again!
