Tuesday: Back in it with some MEBB strengthy strength

Have had a ROUGH month, between busy work days, some sickness, too much hecticness on the weekends, and prob a few other lame excuses. I let fitness slip down my priority list, but that is DONE.

Back to school time: 6 days a week ideally, 4 on a slack week. Goal is:
  • 3 days of heavy lifting (MEBB or other focused strength training)
  • sprinting OR intervals at least twice a week
  • at least one good GPP, Warrior Challenge or ass kicking WOD every week
  • some other conditioning thrown in there (with weights and without)
TODAY'S WORKOUT:
Warmed up with some stretches and some bar (45lb) thrusters and overhead squats to get the blood flowing and then warmed up with some 135lb DLs before work set.

MEBB Deadlift:
  • 3 x 225
  • 3 x 245
  • 3 x 265
  • 1 x 295
  • 1 x 305
  • 1 x 315 (PR)... I should have kept going to see where I broke. It was heavy, but I did it with no trouble. Same rep routine next time and keep going until fail.
Weighted Pull-ups and Dips (3 x F) with 30+lb (used 2 10lb plates on chain that was at least 10lb):
  • Pull ups: 4, 2, 4
  • Dips: 7, 6, 5
(did these alternating... prob could have squeezed out more dips. Pull ups are still my nemesis)

Finished with a few sets of DB bench presses and some extra push ups and pull ups at the very end...
  • 10 x 40
  • 10 x 50
  • 10 x 55
Weigh in: 174.5
