Today was not my best workout ... life is very stressful with the extreme weather / tons of time at home with toddler/infant / having to monitor/reduce calories for the upcoming meet / work/life stress and the upcoming move to Hawaii. Also have a burn on my left bicep that is not healing with how much I move throughout the day... it is painful and annoying. Just a million things to juggle and its hard to focus or get intensity at home when working out ... got in what I could, cut out the accessory volume.

B.

Bench Press

 Complete Rest 

2/06/26

 I was really sore today... it has been a really solid week of training and my body is feeling it ... probably would have just taken a rest day today if I could have, but my wife and I had some time together and we wanted to workout together ... we put this together on the spot and it was a nice / lower volume aerobic workout that was fun to get in, but not too taxing.

AM Workout (0615)

Overall a decent class this AM … lots of upper body pushing and my body is decently sore, but got in what intensity I could … double-under/bench press combo was much harder than I thought it would be. 

A.

Four Sets of:
8 Strict Press @ 55-65% 

then…

Rest 2 minutes then…

50 Double-Unders 

9 Bench Press (225/155#)

50 Double-Unders 

-13:50 … sets of 21 and 15 bench unbroken … had to go 4/2/2/1 on the 225, which was very suprising, but I was just smoked by that point. Additionally, each set of DU on the front I got unbroken or in 2-3 sets … each second set was a bit of a shit show… staying in a consistent groove after the benching volume was tough. Fun workout and a nice pump too.

AM Workout (0600)

A.

3 Intervals
3:30 Work / 1:00 Rest

INTERVAL 1 (0:00 - 3:30)
25/20 Calorie Row

20/15 Calorie Row
12 BMU
Max DBall to Shoulder (150/100)

-Result = 

9, 8, 5 … fell apart there on the last set … but overall not as bad as I thought.

-First interval went at about 2000 cal/hr pace and unbroken pull-ups … took about 1:40 … probably can get more reps here now that I’ve figured out how to be a bit more efficient with the Dball 

-Second interval went at about 1800 cal/hr and 12/8 C2B … felt better on the ball this set 

-Third interval went at about 1600 cal/hr and 5/4/3 bar MU … only had about :40 at the Dball by the time I got here … hoping to pace this better and get some more reps here on gameday
