6/4/09 Training

Warm up
Powerball for several minutes
light kbell complex - halos, goblet squats, stiff legged deadlift
Pushup - 1x15
Pullup - 1x5@bw

One arm Clean & Press
3 reps @ 32k bell for 20 minutes
Left arm = 15 sets
Right arm = 15 sets
This went better than I expected, especially since I was beat up pretty good from yesterday's workout. I haven't pressed my 32k bell for a while due to some lingering elbow tendinitis. Much to my surprise, these felt good...got tough between 15 and 20 minutes though...didn't compromise on my form...just had to really grind out the third rep of the sets.

Sumo Deadlift
3 reps @ 250lbs for 20 minutes
I completed 22 sets, but the last one was sloppy, so 21 good sets.
I haven't done sumos for a long time...since I typically deadlift conventional. I actually rarely do sumos...needless to say, it is my weak deadlift stance. This felt fairly light to me. I did all sets with an overhand grip, which started to give out at the end...so much so that I had to almost re-grip on each rep as I neared 20 minutes. I did a brief pause (1 sec) at the top and bottom of each rep.

I was going to do some pull ups, but pretty wiped out...so I didn't do any tonight.

Other physical activities today
Went for a 1.25 mile walk with my dog after dinner.
Jogged lightly for approx 15 minutes while trying to teach my son how to ride his bike.
