Saturday 7/26
White water rafting was fun. A lot more intense than last time. River was 18 miles long and took us I think four hours. My head didn't bleed at all despite getting tossed around a bit and jumping off giant rocks and stuff.
Monday 7/28
My hamstrings and lower back have been EXTREMELY tight the last two days. I was having trouble tying my shoes. I had giant knots on both hamstrings, felt like there were golf balls under my skin.
Warm up. Stretched and foam rolled my hamstrings a lot and it helped.
Jerks using the yoke (messing around while waiting for andy)
90 x 5, 5
140 x 5, 5
160 x 2, 2
180 x 2, 2
200 x miss, miss, 1
-I had the bar set so I can barely dip down at all to force me to be more explosive. I liked them and think they may help with my explosiveness.
Zydrunus press
95 x 8
145 x 4
145 x 4
145 x 4, missed 5th
-These are a lot harder than I thought they'd be!
Incline press
145 x 8
185 x 5, missed 6th....?
Switched to a closer grip
155 x 8
155 x 8
155 x 8
135 x 12
95 x 20
Axle push downs (suspended by all of my bands)
2 sets of 10 with just the axle
1 set of 15 with a 5 on each side
-doing these with my axle instead of barbell worked much better since it's lighter.
Didn't seem like a bad workout, but I am feeling EXTREMELY week. I'm lucky I am half way decent at jerks because my pressing strength is absolutely terrible.
I haven't had a good workout since over a week before Hudson Valley. I really hope I can squat normally tomorrow because when I don't squat (haven't really squatted in over a month I believe) I feel like such a pansy and get really weak on everything else.
I also apparently bled more than I thought because there was blood in spots I didn't notice and on a bunch of my weights and my oly shoes.
