M11 W2 Conditioning Day

Summer 2009 Training
Mesocycle 11 - Week 2
Conditioning Day

Beginning Thoughts:

I was feeling so guilty for breaking my diet and gorging on Pizzas last night....well, I wish I had known how hard this workout was going to be!

Workout:

Lower Body Circuit done for 3 rounds:
Pistol Squats = 4 reps
Hanging Air Kicks = 10 reps
Unilateral Dumbbell Romanian Deadlifts = 12 kgs x 10 reps
Swiss Ball Jackknife Pikes = 9 reps
Supine Glute Ham Raises = 12 reps
I was destroyed after this and very very close to calling it a day.

Upper Body Circuit done for 3 rounds:
Parallel Bar Dips = 8 reps
Pull-ups = 7 reps
Flat Dumbbell Press = 26 kgs x 8 reps
Dumbbell Rows = 38 kgs x 6 reps
Banded Shrugs = Blue x 10 reps
Very tiring workout...

I didn't have any training partners today so no videos

Overall Impression:

I checked my pulse and then had it double checked by this trainer. After the first 3 rounds on Circuit 1, my HR was at 150. After 3 rounds of Circuit 2 my HR was at 140.

Last night I completed the first season of this TV Show called The 4400. I think it was a good season. There are similarities with Heroes and X-Men and general super-human conspiracy theories (lol) but I found it pretty entertaining.

I've also almost finished reading this book by David Compton called Executive Sanction. It's a real page-turner.

I hope everyone's had a good weekend. Sadly, my weekend has come to an end. Tomorrow is a new day in the stock market.

Thanks for reading, everyone!
