Today was fun! The chief reason for this is I went to my friend's gym to hit a class. With my main gym closing in 2 weeks, it will likely be my go-to solution for my class fix 2 or 3 times per week. I took the opportunity to show face, say hi to some future training buddies, and get sweaty! I jumped on the 6pm class.
Back Squat
A Set Every 2 Minutes
4@75%
3@80%
2@85%
1@90%
4@80%
3@85%
2@90%
1@95%
Because this is towards the end of a cycle they have been running, that I haven't done, I scaled my percentages back a little. I went at 130kg for 75%, 135kg for 80%, 140kg for 85%, 145kg for 90% and 150kg for 95%
Overhead Squat
A Set Every 2 Minutes
4@75%
3@80%
2@85%
1@90%
Again, I scale and went at 90, 95, 100 and 110kg respectively.
4 Rounds for Time:
40 Double Unders
20 Alternating Dumbbell Hang Snatch 22.5kg
20 Alternating Dumbbell Overhead Reverse Lunge 22.5kg
20 Pull-Ups
10 Handstand Push-Ups
I completed this in 16:50, as prescribed. This workout almost made me sick, and I still felt light-headed an hour later!
Equipment
Food
Today was a great food day too! I started with breakfast at 7:30am. I had grapes, tomatoes, 5 rashers of streaky bacon, and 2 fried eggs.
For lunch, at around 1pm I had slow cooked diced steak, with a few cherry tomatoes cooked in, and covered with a little cheese.
At 8pm I ate my evening meal, which was 2 pork loin steaks topped with cheese, sweet potato wedges and half an avocado. I followed this with blueberries, grapes, yoghurt and honey.
The last day has seen interest grow in Mountain Murph, which is extremely exciting! There is never a better way to dive into a challenge. Training support and advice will be offered, scalable versions are suggested, and there's no entry fee or commitment!
