Ruggedness Training April 40812-41412

Not that anyone's following this, however, this us caught up. I've been recording these much differently; they go from action, to book, to flash drive, to desk top computer to this "diary".. or blog. A friend reminded me that this isn't for me, but for posterity, those who will look back, perhaps, and want to find out what kind of guy I was during this era.

40812 (Sunday) #295 Brooklyn, eating much drinking much, it’s like vacation. Rub-B for cocktails and great sirloin sandwich.
We did workout today at Chelsea Piers:
Squats – 3 x 10 no records, easy stuff
Leg Press – Maxed on what they said I could load on the slide 360, ha, 3 sets of 10+
Leg extensions – (leg curls hurt the ankle)
Various Pull ups, high and strong.
Good Yoga stretch and balance before going to Ruu-B’s.

40912 – (Monday) #296 Am diner in Manhattan, headed back to Philly. 182, so I gained 2 – 4 lbs depending on if I mark my starting wt at 178 or 180. I’m more inclined to go 180 b/c 178 has never been sustained for very long.
Guts & Butts at Temple, smaller than usual class. Go back to work and the regular routine.

41012 – (Tuesday) #297 182, steady even after ritual. Will hv to see how long it takes to metabolize the weekend. Overnight suspension training lite, relatively lite anyway. Wake up 3 sets of 6 handstand push ups, 2 w/ knees bent, 1 str8 legged, trying to increase ROM: Ankle hurts, Zombie Training, good stuff.

41112 Work: (Wednesday) #298... suspension training – good, some low strong pulls, chest dive getting stronger.
Wake up 181.5, (5 mins later 183.5, bad scale replace battery) handstand push ups 2 sets 3-4.
Temple legs:
Leg press (slide) progress to 800 lbs over 6-8 sets, reps decreased as wt was added. 800 lb 2 sets 4 reps.
Leg extensions (cable) 200 3 x 10, 8, 6 ??
Handstand push ups 2 x 4
Flips, 2 sets
Seated calf raises 3 sets (hurt ankle)
Various Pull ups 4 sets 6-8.

41212 – (Thursday) #299 182 – ankle didn’t hurt when I woke up, good sign. (could it be from yesterday’s training?) still ain’t right.
Good om, some HS push ups getting better.
FF today at the Y, maybe some vanity work.
16:30 noticed a rash on my face under my eyes?? Red dots around. Where did these come from? Something I ate??
NO MORE MUSCLE MILK BARS!! Yuck!!
Intense class hotter than normal and more ppl. No vanity work. Maybe at home??

41312 (Friday) #300 Nothing Special 180 Lift Therapy: (Just a milestone day.)
Hi-Lo squats (lo wt. hi reps hi wt low reps)
135 x 20 ----------- 225 x 3
185 x 16------------245 x 3
205 x 10------------275 x 3 this was awesome, but I should change low reps. Will modify as nec.
CF Style Super Sets:
Mil press barbell 50 secs, about 30 reps + dumb bell swing hand to hand same time no count.
HR measured at 180 after this. 3 rounds total.
Pull Ups on Smith + shrugs (115 lbs 3 sets of 20+)
Pulls were hi and strong, 10, 8 (wide grip), 6 (close grip)
Leg X 3 sets of 20 (about 30 seconds)
Tri-Bi-Tri (3 rounds)
Peck Deck 3 sets 16 (maybe) to 10 reps
HS push ups, fail…
Stretch & hanging ab work.
Doesn’t seem like I did a lot, but I felt it. I have to incorporate more endurance exercises after initial strength/power stuff. That’s the move, alternate and work all fibers!

41412181 Saturday #301 air squats, hs push ups Le Bercail birthday dinner for Tet w/ Fram. No workout today
