training 12.16.2013

Christmas is in a week and two days.  If you're not winding down, you're about to spend a lot on shipping.

Lots of dynamic work, Assault + AG, and a resort of exercise order due to campers and wannabes.

Hammie curls, 5x10 -- grind them out

Squats, 6rm, Bulgarian split squats x5 between each set.  Sucked wind like a fat boy.  Lucky I didn't faint, actually.

Hack squat -- no way to do these today, so subbed quad curls heavy 3x8 at the end.

Heavy DB lunges, 3x10 with straps and really heavy DBs.  Got lots of looks with these for some reason, mostly by jealous old men.  Well, the old men part is true; the jealousy is the only reason I can imagine old men looking at me, since they usually spend every available minute they aren't doing micro-partials hitting on the attending college girls.  For the record, I'm old enough to be the cuties' dad, so these hacks are old enough to be their grandfathers.  That's plain wrong.

And I do mean micro-partials, frequently using machines in ways they were never designed to be used with a total ROM of about two degrees.  I am not kidding.  Maybe an inch of total movement, often in ways that guarantee injury at some point.  I'm sure they'll be shocked and earnestly tell their orthopod that they 'work out' all the time.

SLDL, 4x8 heavy

DB snatch, 3x10 just because. 

Going to double up each week on legs (read: quads), shoulders, and maybe some back.  Just a few extra sets here and there.

Have a nice Christmas, and everyone think nice thoughts for Milda, who just moved into an even smaller house.  One sympathizes, having done same recently.  Love you, hon.

  1. Oh, so very sweet of you. I look at it as "assisted simplification", because this move has provided a serious nudge to get rid of (even) more stuff. And, YAY, only one bathroom to clean! ;)

    Nice new blog theme!
