Storms, storms, storms

Last night, it stormed again, but not as bad as the previous night.  Then, it stormed hard from 10pm to 4am and rained 5 inches.  None of us slept much.  Last night, we got more sleep.

However, it was still storming this morning, so no run as I had hoped.

Instead, I started a repeat of New Rules of Lifting Stage 6.  I was only halfway through Hypertrophy I, but I think the leg day isn't a combination with asking my legs to drastically increase mileage in preparation for the half marathon in October.  I've been thinking about doing this Stage again to help with chin-ups.

So, here it is!


Stage 6 A1-2 (60 sec rests)


Warm up -from  FBB (10:15)

Negative chin-up - 20s, 21s (hiking back pack w/ 5#), 16s (hiking back pack w/ 10#)  ... I'll have to check on the back pack weight, maybe 10 pounds?

Underhand Lat Pulldown - 1x2 @110#, 9x2 @120# (fast pull, pause 2 secs, 4 sec return - done on knees, cheated on a couple 2nd reps by lifting up legs)

Barbell Split Squat - 2x10each leg @55#

Push-up (arms in) -  1x10 on bench, 1x10 on floor (some not as far down as I would hope)

Finished up with some foam rolling
