Tuesday All 'Round Workout -- Not Gonna Cut

1. Squats 5 x 5 x 170

(squats felt heavy)

2. Circuit
  • burpee with pull up at top x 5
  • DB swings (70lb) x 10
  • jumping lunges x 10
3 rounds, 6 minutes --- wanted to get a fourth round in there but couldn't - was deeaad...

3. Russian Twists 3 x 15 (25lb plate)

4(ish) -- gayness and failure.
  • Leg lifts/raises, another quick set of pull ups... all just monkeying around out of frustration b/c I wanted to do glute-ham raises & couldn't find good place to anchor...
  • Tried some flags and I didn't have them today - did TWO and was killed. Sucked. I was crankin out 5 last time I did 'em. bah...
5. More failure -- ATTEMPTED Double DB Push Presses @ 55 and it was just too fuckin heavy for me. I can't bust that weight. Could be that I was exhausted, but still. Dropped down to 50 and was able to do them, but not well, and not many. (I've done good sets at 50 before tho, so I don't know what was going on.)

All in all, just was SPENT by the end of the weight room portion of my workout and took the fatigue into the cardio room with me, where I had to try four machines until I found one that wasn't metric (kph) and could handle the full speed for me intervals....

6. Intervals -- elliptical machine, manual at like 10 resistance I think: pushed 14 mph for 60 seconds, then snail's pace/recovery for 90 seconds -- 3 times and then cooled down.


Good workout, but not great. Was fucking tired and I HATE not being able to complete what I want to do.
