Just Messing Around

Deadlifts: started at 145x3, 180x3, 215x3, 250x3, 285x3, 320x3, 355x2 (2RM).  Not bad, no improvement in 1RM, but the quality was better.  In particular, the bar left the floor faster and the lock out was stronger.  I also didn't tire out as quick, and the reps were smoother.  Whatever I'm doing seems to be having a benefit besides the 2 pounds of weight loss.

Assisted Dip Machine (Weight is after assistance): 158x8x7

Finisher:
Burpees (Reverse Ladders): 11, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2
Battle Ropes: To exhaustion with each set of burpees.

Yeah, I think I will avoid the gym tomorrow...........

WSFSB III: ME Upper Body

Hoist Roc-It Pec Deck: Worked up to a 60-lbs 4RM.  Since I tested a movement, I would pass on the rep-out movement that normally comes second.

LifeFitness ISO Shoulder Press: started at 35x5 and kept adding 10 pounds until I could barely hit the 5RM, at 95 lbs.  Using Brzycki's formula, that's a 106-lbs 1RM.  So next week, I will round up to 110 lbs and use that to work up to a 3RM at 95% of that (about 105 pounds).  My record with this movement, at this weight, was 2 reps.

Assisted Chinups (Light/monster Mini Bands): sets of 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 reps

LifeFitness ISO Rows (Elbows Up): 125x8, 7, 6, 5, 4 reps

Superset:

Decided to go with WSFSB III.  Rather than train around maxes, I can test them out each week.

This was my workout on Saturday morning.  Today, my abs were really spent, but my legs are really sore in the back.  I was also really tired.  I guess this was what I was aiming for.  For this week, I'm just going to do the weight days every other day.  On week 2, I will add 45-minute walks on the off days and do 2 days on/ 1 day off followed by 2 days on/2 days off. On week 3, is where I will start building up my run on the off days.
