A nice weekend!

Had a good rest weekend. Saturday the weather was amazing. I sat on the deck and fell asleep. Sunday I had an early morning football game and then went on a hike with Mel and Mike Marriot from the gym. It was a good hike. We did pieces from the Sunset and Big Laguna Trail. We stopped at Water of the Woods for some snacks and you could clearly tell that we are pretty conscience about what we eat. I had brought salami, blueberries and some cashews. Mel brought a blood orange some almonds and some really tasty dark chocolate. A good snack to go with good friends and a good hike. I think we did something like 6.5 miles. A nice Sunday! I hope to hike more. I kind of slacked off recently. I’ll post pictures when I get them from Mel.

In terms of workouts…here you go

Deadlifts 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 I went 195 – 205 – 215 – 220 – 225. That was good. I felt strong. The last set was tough and I could feel my back not maintaining perfect form but I was dramatically rounding it and I’m not too sore today. So it felt good. I would have liked to give 230 a try but didn’t want to over do it. Next time. I would really like to see what my one rep max would be since the last time I did it I think it was only 210 or something considerably lower then 225.

10 rounds of 10 OHS 76#, 10 burpees – Time 22:04
I really did well on this workout. I like overhead squats and can just get through the burpees. I was able to get all 10 overhead squats without breaking them up for the whole 10 rounds. So that helped keep the time low and then I just had to get through the burpees. So I really liked this workout! It is interesting to think about doing a workout that is 100 OHS and 100 burpess compared to a workout that is 10 rounds of 10 and 10. It is completely different mind game when you break it up into sets of 10. Even though you are going to be doing the same amount of work. Funny how that works.

Today they are calling for shuttle sprints. A lot of sprints. Should be pretty miserable!
