May 28, 2019

Daily score: 7 (some soreness but not terrible)

Workout:

Mountain biking

3 hours of hilly and technical riding.  Not sure how far. 


This was probably perfect to workout whatever soreness I had.  I actually felt really strong riding.  Probably one of the smoothest technical days I've had.  I had the time to ride longer but felt like my body was asking me to be reasonable after a weekend of partying and doing murph.  It was still a very productive hard ride.  Thanks!

So proud of finally doing this in a weight vest!  And faster than I had thought, I thought around an hour and a half.  It was all hard and my body kept suggesting removing the damn vest.  I am so satisfied with this accomplishment and so proud of my body holding up.   A lot of thanks to you for working me up to it.  It was super challenging and I'll be sore but nothing is in pain.  Thanks!  And happy memorial day!  Also know as my birthday ;).

I got a tetanus shot in my left delt yesterday and it's actually pretty sore!  Doubt it made any impact.  Snatching felt great.  Clean and jerk's felt hard at 120 and 125.  Squatting felt good.  Murph at pace made me hurt...the second run was painful.  I think because I was pushing the pace.  Damn, it's a tough little combo.  Thanks!

Daily score: 7

Workout:


A. Single arm DB OH walking lunge; 100 feet AFAP (pick a load that is
light enough that you think you can do it in 4x25 unbroken segments
with no rest at the ends just turn around and go, but heavy enough
that you're not sure you can make it.  If you can't do this with DB,
use barbell OH in snatch grip)


30# DB, switched every 25’ quickly
40# DB, switched at 50’

B. Sandbag step ups; 1 min continuous alternating legs on 20"; rest 3
min actviely on indoor bike trainer x3 sets


70# bag
13,15,16

C. Single leg snatch grip RDL; 8-10x3; rest 2 min


55# x8, 45x10, 45x10

D. Pistols; 10 reps AFAP x3; rest 2 min

Did the lunge thing twice to get the weight right.  Quads were sore, funny I felt my legs more than the DB overhead.  Forearms have been tight all day too.  Left leg has an easier time with the rdls.  Pistols were harder than usual d/t the sore quads.  Abs are sore today after the core series.  Enjoying my rest day.  Thanks!

done

+
Handstand walk tech work self directed.  Spent anywhere from 5-30 min
depending on the skill of the movement you want to work on and how it
feels based on previous work.  Can also just do static work if you'd
like.  Report in how you spend the time and how much.


24 mins working on walking
6 mins working on kicking up to static holds

a couple 15' walks
a handful of 10' walks
lots of 6' walks










Running felt great.  Pull ups went as usual.  Push ups felt worse than last time, fatigued fast.  I'm guessing this is d/t being on the bike so long yesterday basically in the top of a plank position.  I shaved off time on the second round by doing smaller quick sets on the push ups (went from 5's to 4/3/3).  Thank you for the handstand time.  This skill is still a wonder to me.  It's something I never imagined I'd be able to do and really don't want to lose.  At the same time I find progress fleeting and am often confused on what brings me success vs. struggle.  Today felt about average for the last 6 months or so.  And average is great!  Way better than a struggle day.  Working on kicking up to static holds versus planting my hands first.  Hopefully video says more than my words.  Thanks!

Daily score: 8

Workout:

Mountain biking

5 hrs 45 mins
27.22 miles
42-4500 feet elevation gain

1st climb: 38 mins
2nd climb: 43 mins

1st lap: 2:11
2nd lap: 2:14

(Sandy Ridge)


Did two full laps and then another 2/3rds.  Basically the same ride I did in the beginning of May (May 4).  Felt really great on the first lap.  Legs and low back weren't too achy until the third climb.  I was also just ready to be done by then.  I was alone and hardly saw anyone else and started thinking about all the things I needed to get done at home.  It also was wet and slick so took a lot of concentration and care, not as fun as the dry and fast days.  My neck was definitely fatigued by the end.  Next day- I'm a little stiff and quads are sore but feel otherwise great.  The success was nutrition!  Felt good the whole time.  Eating every 45 mins.  Thanks!
