5/3/19

Today was a rough workout... ended up going to a baseball game yesterday and had about 6-7 beers... I was more hungover today than I thought I would be... pushed the workout back until the PM ... overall didn't feel great, but tried to get as much out of this as I could. Hangover and addition of my schedule being all fucked up with the PFT on Wednesday definitely affected the quality of this training... but overall its just one bad workout and won't affect things too much. Excited to get after it over this weekend.

AM Workout (0600)

Marine Corps PFT

-Result =

286 (22 pull-ups, 115 crunches, 19:47 run)  ... overall glad to get this out of the way, probably could have pushed the run a bit more, but was running without anyone to push with.

PM Workout (1315) 

Not the best workout I've ever had... but got in the work. Missed a few reps, which is the first time that has happened on this program, but overall this was still a solid session. Looking forward to trying to hit some of the missed sets/reps today again next week.

PM Workout (1500)

This afternoon was a good session... always surprised by how much these very simple back/bicep workouts get me. Massive pump on this, had a fun time.

A.
Pull Ups
3 sets x 8-10 reps
Come as close to failure as possible without actually failing, within the given rep range. If you cannot do body weight, do banded pull ups. If body weight is too easy, add weight.

-Complete, 3 x 8 with 35# weight

B.
Rack Chins
3 sets x 15-20 reps
The goal is to reach near failure without actually failing within the given rep range in all 3 sets. Add weight if it's too easy, break up the sets if it's too difficult.

-went 13, 10, 10 unbroken sets ... was pretty much wrecked from part A

C.
 Supinated Close-Grip Lat Pull-Downs
3 sets x 15-20 reps
The goal is to reach near failure without actually failing within the given rep range in all 3 sets. If you do not have access to a Lat-Pull Down machine do 3 extra sets of Rack-Chins.

-Complete, 3 x 20 @ 105# ... massive pump

D.
Hammer Curls
3 sets x 15 reps
15 reps per arm. Come as close to failure as possible without actually failing, within the given rep range.

-Complete, went 3 x 12 with 55#s ... then 3 x 12 with 50#s for two additional sets... arms were totally fried by this point ... probably should have done much lighter on these. 

E.

-Complete, 2 x orange band

F.
