Done, hips and hamstrings


It was coooold in the gym and chest got tight doing sprints a couple times just from breathing the cold air.  It doesn't look like much on paper but I gave 100% and it was a tough 30 mins of AD work.  I did a romwod video for hips and hami's for 25 mins after...it was good...basically yoga stuff.  Thanks!

30 min easy mobility work

Strict press felt great.  Ring thing: I can do 8 unbroken but they start to move to pulling higher on the chest and pushing out of the dip gets tough toward the end.  So I did mostly 4 and 4 to keep good form.  By the last set they were getting tough.  Rows and bench were fun.  Right arm on the bench was weaker...seems to be the shoulder.  Mobility: I did mostily shoulder and upper back stuff.  Feeling good.  Thanks!

Row 15 min easy

3150m

Well I did the plank tucks wrong...just alternated pulling a knee in.  I'm still a little confused on how these should look...if you use them again do you maybe have a video?  Dead bugs were fine, hard.  I finally made all the side planks, both sides, a full 40 seconds.  Tough though on the shoulders.  Crunches were fine...just funny...it's been about a decade since I did crunches...nearly forgot how.  Tempo knee raises were challenging, low back is what gave out, but could be the abs then the back depending on how you look at it.  Banded bird dogs felt good.  Rowing felt amazing...which is funny...I don't have a history of loving rowing but it has been so long and just made me feel more powerful than the damn airdyne.  Thanks!

mobility (and movements from Dr Ben) work 20-30 min


4 rounds of:


6-8 split squats per side
8 lunges with bottoms up kb in opposite arm, stepping back each rep, per side
6-8 single leg dead lifts with kb in opposite arm


stretching


This went well.  However, I tried to do the split squats with a kb at my chest and I felt a lot of pressure in my low back so I did them unweighted.  I think maybe with dbs in each hand at the side might be better.  Thanks!

airdyne 20 min easy cool down

Done

HSPU's were fine.  Strict pull ups became hard enough to get 4th and 5th full rep with just body weight.  Ring thing was fun as always, worked on pulling lower on chest.  C series was tough...hard to get more than 30 seconds on the left arm side plank.  D series felt great.  AD was fine.  Thanks!

I was freezing all day and it seemed wrong to go get into water.  But I did it...mostly for the hot tub after and because you told me to.  Felt fine.  Focused on staying relaxed and not hyperventilating.  Thanks!
