Deadlift, Dips, Conditioning, HSPU practice

Deadlift
361x1, 3x3x381# (used the colored plates today instead of stripping the bar, hence weird #'s)

Weighted Dips 3x4x30#
_
Conditioning:

Tabata 95# thrusters for 40 total reps (20:10x8)
Tabata Burpees for 50 total reps (20:10x8)

HSPU practice: 3 handstand holds for brief periods, 3x max reps on incline pushups off GHD in gym

  • General: Going straight across in deadlift may be a tad too taxing for recovery purposes in the future, but I went with it today. Not really sure how I'll structure it next week but we'll see. 30# is the most weight I've ever dipped before. I'm seeing some huge benefits from doing dips so often, especially in my bench and shoulder press. The conditioning was brutal, especially the thrusters. I wasn't very happy with the amounts for each but it's something to work on.
  • Nutrition: Good, strict day 8.
  • Body: Shoulders were a bit tight but felt good overall
  • Sleep: 9 hours
  • Reflections: Had a really good training session today. I had olympic work planned tomorrow but I want to see how my shoulders feel in the morning. Going overhead 3 days in a row wasn't the brightest programming idea. Regardless tomorrow will be my first interval session in a while, and my first experience with Bikram Hot Yoga. I'll be making a trip to "the hill" on the powerline trail after classes tomorrow. Enough said

Good luck on the "hill" Ben. Just imagine me ahead of you while going up it (nothing new there!!!)
