Friday morning I slept in. It was unintentional. I don’t know if I didn’t set the alarm clock properly, if it failed, or if I simply didn’t hear it. All I know is that I woke at 6:15 - an hour an a quarter later than I desired. No workout on Friday.
Sunday, mowed the lawn before the rain came and then sat down to watch the Cards and the Astros. Cards won 5-1, Glaus hit his first home run as a Cardinal and broke the club’s 8-game no-HR string. Nice job, fellas.
This morning I got up and met Marathoner at the gym. Did some overhead squats, weighted chin ups and weighted dips.
Workout
- Warm Up
- 10x OHS @ 45#
- 10x OHS @ 95#
- 10x OHS @ 115#
- 10x OHS @ 135#
- Then
- 5×3 OHS @ 160#
I intended to do 5×5, but had to dump out on the fourth rep of every set. That was kinda frustrating (and loud). I just couldn’t seem to get out that fourth rep. Must work more OHS if I’m going to hit my 15x @ BW OHS B-Day goal.
- Weighted Chin Ups
- 5x @ BW+25#
- 5x @ BW+30#
- 5x @ BW+35#
- 3x @ BW+40#
- 3x @ BW+40#
- 3x @ BW+40#
- 1x @ BW+50#
- 1x @ BW+50#
- 1x @ BW+50#
- Weighted Dips
- 6×5 @ BW+50#
- 3×8 @ BW+35#
As I was walking from the chin up bar to the dip station (about 4-5 steps), I left the belt (onto which I had put the 50#) on my hips. It was easier to just waddle 5 steps than to take it all apart, carry the plates and belt 5 steps, and then hook it back around my hips.
On of the regulars nearby said something like, “Looks like you’re hangin’ low today.”
…if I were into metaphors…
