12+ mile run  pretty slow and easy. I had to pull an all-nighter last night so felt like crap, but still went out and did it before catching some shut-eye.

2 min max

EMG 5/18/13

TM workout.  After breaking 15 minutes last time, I increased my reps on T push-ups and push-up+row from 10 to 12.  All the lunges from 12 to 15.  Pull-ups from 6 to 8.  I could still only manage 6 dips though, just couldn't muscle up any more.

17 minutes exactly.

Also, I just registered for the San Diego Gladiator Rock'n Run race in June.

EMG -5/17/13

11ish mile hike/run.  I found some trails about 2 miles from my house and decided to go exploring.
when I got back I did max pull-ups
13 PR

NHG - 5/18/13


Complete the following in 7 minutes:
3 Overhead squats
Begin with 135, 185, 225 or 255 pounds (or scale as needed) and increase by 10 pound increments to as heavy as you can within the seven minutes. Do not use a rack.

185 - the hardest part of this is getting the weight from ground to front rack to back to overhead; I couldn't get 195 overhead today

Tabata Push-ups:  6 (something like 14, 12, 12, 10, 10, 8, 8, 6, 6)

EMG - 5/16/13

4 mile tempo run.  Crapped out, but finished it 29 minutes.  There is definitely a correlation between running Elfin' on Tues and having a crappy tempo on Thurs.

NHG - 5/17/13

Deadlift 5, 3, 3, 1, 1, 1:  275, 295, 315, 335, 357, 365

"Jackie"
Row 1000m
Thruster x 30 @ 45 lbs
Pull-ups x 30

8:42 (rower measurement system didn't work so I rowed hard for 4 min... that's close to my 1000m time; had to walk from rower outside gym to inside in order to find a bar; did first 10 pull-ups across the gym before I had to walk to another bar across the gym to do the last 20... I think I could have been well under 8 min without the clowns to one-arm curls in the squat rack and below the pull-up bars)

EDIT:  screwed up... was supposed to do 50 Thrusters... maybe that and the other crap makes it a wash

Thursday, May 16, 2013

NHG - 5/16/13

EMG - 5/3/13

11 mile run.  It was supposed to be 12, but it was so damned hot.  Plus this was my first week back to something resembling a full workout schedule, so my legs were pretty tired.  Excuses, excuses, excuse... but an old man has to listen to his body.
