M9 W4 Conditioning Day

Summer 2009 Training
Mesocycle 9 - Week 4
Conditioning Day

Beginning Thoughts:

I decided to make some changes to my training just for today. The goal was to set a time limit of 20 minutes and squeeze in as many front squats and pull-ups as I could in that time limit. The weight on the front squats was set at 185 lbs. This was done yesterday. I am so sore today I cannot even sit on a chair without my legs absolutely collapsing.

Workout:

Overhead Squats:
25 lbs x 5 reps
45 lbs x 4 reps
75 lbs x 5 reps
95 lbs x 5 reps x 3 sets

Timed Set @ 20 minutes:
Front Squats @ 185 lbs = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 35 reps
Pull-ups @ Body Weight = 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 35 reps
The longest and most grueling 20 minutes of my life!

Videos:

Nothing.

Overall Impression:

Time to rest and plan my next mesocycle...

Have a good weekend and thanks for reading!
