Saturday, October 1st & Sunday, October, 2nd, 2011

Saturday's Training:

"LYNNE"

5 sets:
Max Reps Bodyweight Bench Press
Max Reps Pull Ups
--Rest as Needed between sets--

RESULTS:
Bench Presses/Round - 20,17,14,11,10 = 72 Total Reps
Pull Ups/Round - 40,31,26,24,22 = 143 Total Reps
TOTAL REPS - 215 reps

This one didn't look bad but then I finished Round 1 and felt like my chest and forearms were going to explode...very miserable.  I also realized that I could've rested for 4 minutes between sets or 44 minutes and it wouldn't have made a difference.  I was hoping for higher pull up numbers but I didn't wanna cheat it and rest for long periods betwwen the transition from the bench to the bar...I chalked up and got on the bar.  til tomorrow..............

Sunday's Training:
Speed Back Squats @60%; 3 reps; rest 10 seconds
THEN....
Run 200m
20 Box Jumps - 24"
***TIME THE RUNS/BJ PORTION***

RESULTS:
1. 1:02          5. 1:00
2. 1:10          6. 1:00
3. 1:12          7. 1:00
4. 1:00          8. 1:01

***Complete the above for 8 sets****

I used 200# for the back squats which were designed to tire my legs before taking off for the 200m runs (which are actually a 100m run out and 100m run back...HUGE difference than a straight 200).  The stopping and restarting of the runs made my legs very fatigued for the box jumps, really this one was short but painful and very fatiguing.  For the first 3 sets, I rested 3 minutes between then I doubled the rest period to 6 minutes for last 5 sets per Coach.  Again nothing technical about today, just a grind...off day tomorrow, back at it Tuesday..........
