Wake Up! September 7, 2011

My training has kind of been in the doldrums since last March.  However, my wrist is feeling much better now (not 100% but certainly usable) so I’m back!! WOOOOHOOOO!!

My strength is definitely off a bit (let’s not even talk about technique) and my conditioning is off even more!  Yow ….

So, I think Justin Lascek’s S&CP should work pretty well with 3 days of conditioning.  The only change I’m going to make to this is to do back squats one day and front squats the other, instead of back squats 2 days a week.  The main problem I’ve had with most of these strength programs is the 2xweek back squats – so we’ll see how this works.

Today:

Power Clean (3 sets x 5 reps) – 115#

Press (5×3) – 115#

Back Squat (3×5) 155#

Honest Push Ups – 3×10

Dead Hang Pull Ups – 3×6

3 rounds of 0:20/0:10 – battling ropes & air squats (so 3:00 work overall)

The clean and press weight were harder than I thought, the back squat just right.  All the weights will be going  up fast enough on this program, so I’d like to start light – especially on the squat.
