M3 W2 Extra Workout

Winter 2009 Training
Mesocycle 3 - Week 2

Extra Workout

Beginning Thoughts:
Happy New Year, everybody
Workout:
Overhead Squats:
60 kgs (135 lbs) x 3 reps x 6 sets
40 kgs (88 lbs) x 10 reps x 2 sets
The first 6 sets were REALLY hard. 135 lbs felt like a ton and on two occasions (which I have not counted), I failed at 135 and got stuck and had to dump the weight. I wanted to do 8 sets in all with 135 lbs but after 6 I decided to call it quits. I wanted 6 to have quality.

Rope Chin-ups:
BW x 5 reps x 3 sets
Wow this was hard hell!!!

Facepulls:
45 kgs x 12 reps x 3 sets

Front Planks:
45 seconds x 4 sets
60 seconds x 1 set

Overall Impression:
I think today was one of those workouts which looks good on paper but is really shitty in feeling. I know that my OH Squat strength has improved greatly but at the same time, I couldn't seem to get my groove quite so easily today and that bothered me. The rest of the workout was pretty good actually.

In any case, I want to once again wish everyone a Happy New Year
