Getting Better

Still have a cough, not as bad. Physically I feel alright. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be back to normal and ready to train properly. Today I got a little something done.

Rebounding - 45 minutes.

Feeling better.

Still Sick

This morning I went to the hospital. There they gave me another two days off work. I still feel terrible. Yesterday was worst. Today I have a little bit of energy so I did some light activities.

Theragun, lots of Theragun.

Rebounding - 35 minutes.

Raised Leg Crunches - 5 sets/20 reps.

Hopefully a good night sleep will help how I feel. The crunches are getting easier. Previously I would suffer with my abdominals cramping. Not so lately.

Sick

I'm sick. Coughing most of last night and my head feels like it's under water. I decided to stay home from work today so I don't pass on whatever it is I have. I'm bored from playing video games. A little rebounding won't hurt.

Rebounding - 30 minutes.

Now I feel quite exhausted. Time for a rest.

Training

I slept like crap last night plus I feel like I caught something at the Log Lift event yesterday. I don't feel really sick but I do have a cough that won't let up. My throat isn't sore, not yet. I also feel a little tight in my chest.

Today is a training day. I'm supposed to do Squats but I don't feel like I should push it too hard. Time for some rebounding plus.

Rebounding - 5 minutes warm ups.

Push Ups and Burpies - 6 sets/varied.

Rebounding - 6 sets/5 minutes on the 5.

I did a total of 14 Burpies combined with 10 push ups per sets. Jumping to my feet is getting easier. Perfect for preparing for the up coming FORCE test.

While watching a movie tonight I did the following.

Raised Leg Crunches - 6 sets/15 reps.

Charity Log Lift

 A great day with wonderful people doing amazing things for those less fortunate. Sounds pretty good. Today's Log Lift Competition at Iron Age Gym did just that. This is my first time competing at a max log event. I didn't train much log as I'm focused on being prepared for Battle At The Border. I have been working on my over head pressing strength.

Here's how it went.

160, 180, 190lbs.

I had my normal breakfast which wasn't enough. I was shaking like a leaf after the first warm ups. That said, my goal was to get my name in the record books. I did that and I'm pleased. My log will get better over time. Currently the Mens +50 Open Log Press record is mine at 190lbs.

Core and Cardio

I really don't want to take days off that I don't have to. That said I'll continue to do a variation of Muscular Endurance as active recovery on my "off" days. Here's how today went.

Rebounding - 5 minutes warm up.

Ab Sling Knee Ups - 10 sets/12 reps.

Rebounding - 10 sets/5 minutes on the 5.

Tomorrow I am planning to pull >475lbs on the axle just to prove to myself I'll be ready for Battle at the boder.

Hypertrophy Training Week 1 Day 2

Pressing today. I spent much of the morning running around. This didn't leave me much time to train. At least I did a little something.

Rebounding - 10 minutes warm up.

Inclined Axle Press - 115lbs/12 reps, 4 sets/6,6,8,8 reps/205lbs.

Rebounding - 15 minutes.

At this time I gotta start getting ready for work. More to discuss. Just no time today.

Hypertrophy Week 1 Day 1

Yesterday I didn't feel much like training. So, I went for a walk.

This morning is a much different story. I feel amazing. Time to get under the bar.

Rebounding - 10 mimutes warm up.

Squats - bar/10 reps, 135lbs/8 reps, 4 sets/6 reps/225lbs.

Rebounding - 30 minutes.

I kept training short as I want to ease into the hypertrophy portion. I really enjoyed the Muscular Endurance and took to it quite well. Now is something different. Walk before running. Next week will be more. Now it's time to eat and get ready for the day.

Training at Bldg 21

I really like the set up at bldg 21. Lots of bumper plates, quality bars, famers walk handles, yoke, prowlers, a full rack, lifting platform, good sized tires, kettle bells, ect... All that on a large gym floor. Saturdays are the only time its really available. But not every Saturday. Today it was available. Today I went.

Not really training anything specific as it's between Muscular Endurance and Hypertophy training. On top of training for the up coming strongman competition I always have to be aware that I have a FORCE test to do before August. Today I focused on recovery and moving my feet. I walked lots and used the Theragun. I walked/ran about 10 laps of the gym running on the long sides. I'm happy that I was actually able to run. Especially at over 350lbs body weight.
