M9 W1 Upper Body Day

Summer 2009 Training
Mesocycle 9 - Week 1
Upper Body Day

Beginning Thoughts:

Bombay is the hottest it's ever been in the last 100 years. It's a boiling 40 degrees Celsius with 100% humidity. Ugghhh....

Workout:

Pull-ups:
BW x 5 reps x 2 sets
+ 13.2 lbs x 2 reps x 10 sets
+ 22 lbs x 2 reps x 5 sets
+ 30.8 lbs x 1 rep x 5 sets
+ 8.8 lbs x 5 reps
Total Reps = 50
Good stuff. The weights look weird because I am converting everything to pounds.

Unilateral Dumbbell Shoulder Press:
52.8 lbs x 5 reps x 3 sets
66 lbs x 2 reps x 1 set
I have become quite weak on these.

Medicine Ball Throws:
15 lbs x 15 reps x 6 sets

Front Planks with One Arm and One Leg Raised:
BW x 30 seconds x 3 sets

Videos:

Nothing special to report...though I wish I'd taken some vids of the pull-ups.

Overall Impression:

Tomorrow is an off. Next workout is on Tuesday. It's gonna be Pistol Squat Day.

I hope everyone's having a good weekend. Good luck for next week and thanks for reading!
