Thursday: Crawling back into it with a LIGHT one

After 2 days of spring break-level partying followed by 5 days of being sick as a dog, I still feel kind of sick but had to get into the gym. More that 1 whole week off is too much for me to take.

Was a little coughy/weezy/sniffly in the gym through the warm up so stayed in the weight room instead of hitting a GPP or sprinting it out but it was still no fun. Sweat was pretty intense anyway... still can't stop sweating...

Stretched a little, then....

Warm up -- 2 rounds of:
  • 5 pull ups
  • 10 burpees
  • 15 air squats
  • Samson stretch 10-15 sec/side
(would have liked to do 3 rounds but this was getting tiresome already)

* Wanted to start with squats but some turdface jumped on my rack right as I finished me warm up!!!! So alternatively, threw some 25s on a bar and just did sets of 10 for form as part of this little diddy:

Odd concoction (all with 95lb) -- 3x:
  • Squat x 10 -- power clean and press to position, behind the head press after set
  • Sumo Deadlift High Pull x 5
Obviously went super low on squats, was thinking there could be way to make this more of a combo by working in more presses... maybe should have done overhead squats

Did some weighted side bends in between (45lb)

Finished with 10 min on the eliptacal at a fairly solid resistance/random (haven't used that piece of crap in months it feels like)

ugh... looking at in writing, I am ashamed. Ran me down tho in my weakened state.

Good news: weighed in at 175.

Bad news: I felt flabby and weak -- I would rather weigh in at 182 and feel hard and strong than 170 and feel soft and weak 100% of the time.
