TBT/NROL: Week 1 Workout 1

Bodyweight this morning: 241. So, I have to drop 12 pounds in 7 weeks.

Lunchtime Aerobics: Intervals on an Elliptical (6 rounds) - 1 minute hard at Level 13 and 2 minutes easy in reverse at Level 6.

Evening (60 minutes rest at the end of the superset):
16" Front Box Squat: 115x5, 140x5, 165x5, 190x5, 215x3 (3RM), 200x5.
Band Assisted Pullup (Light/Monster Mini): 6 sets of 5

Sumo Deadlift: 170x5, 205x5, 240x5, 275x5, 310x1, 275x1
One Armed Neutral DB Press: 25x5, 30x5, 35x5, 40x5, 45x5, 50x5, 55x5 (5RM)

16" Lateral Step Ups: BWTx5, 15x5, 20x5, 25x5, 30x5 (Hard), 30x5
Rounds on the Punching Bag: 6 (Latest addition to the home gym:)

Some lifts I haven't done in the longest, so I tried to work up to a 5RM in 6 sets. I guessed right on nearly everything but the sumo DL, which is why I did 275 for 5 the first time but only one rep the next - - - I overestimated my max at 340.

The boxing was my way of finishing myself off good cardio-wise while getting in trunk rotation work in a more dynamic and fun way. Each round consisted of 10 of the following punches per hand: jab, long punch, bodyshot, uppercut. Then they were combined into 2 minutes of combinations done hard and fast. After that, I felt spent and exhausted in a good way.
