Actually took the time to get into the gym this morning ... still slept in and trained alone instead of the usual 0500 training. I just drag too much ass while studying if I wake up that early. Only a few more weeks of bar studying though ... back to normal soon. Today ended up being a very painful workout... just put together something on the spot and had fun in the gym today. No pain on the overhead squatting, it felt good today. Haven't fucked with my hip for a long time.

A.
Every 2 minutes for 16 minutes (8 sets of):
Overhead Squat x 3 reps
Build over the course of 8 sets

-135#, 155#, 175#, 185#, 195#, 205#, 215#, 225#

Rest 4:00 ... (at 20:00)...

Max Reps OHS with 185#

-Scored 6 reps ... this is laughably bad but my shoulders were just thrashed after all the reps, much harder than I thought it would be. Probably could have gotten a few more reps, just got lazy and lost it forward.

B.
Every 3 minutes for 15 minutes (5 sets of):
Incline Bench Press x 3 reps @ 165#
Strict C2B Pull-ups x 6 reps

-Haven't incline bench pressed in well over a year ... felt VERY weak on this movement today. I wanted to start at 165# and increase the loading, but just stuck with throughout all the sets. It is just a weird move and hard to incorporate regularly into training ... but glad I switched it up and gave it a go ... was very humbling.

C.
For quality:
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1

Incline DB Bench Press (2 x 50#)
Strict Stationary Dips
Floor Wipers (135#)
Banded Push-ups (1 thin red band)

-Don't know how long this took, but it was a while. Tried to take as much rest as needed to get the sets unbroken ... but had to break up some of those sets of 9-8-7 ... was MUCH tougher than I thought it would be. This was the best chest workout I've done in years. Was fun to just isolate the chest and triceps and really burn them out. Solid day's work ... looking forward to something more 'crossfity' tomorrow.
