Thursday - Strength and Conditioning

You might be a red neck totally out of shape if you get super nauseous every time you work out. That said, I gotta get back to basics. Minimalist approach might be best as long as things are getting done.

Today was okay. Tomorrow, God willing, running intervals and core. If not this weekend, kick off next week with a GPP (gotta get in the habit of one good GPP a week -- and working out more than once, twice, or 0 times per week - FFUUUU...)

1. Max Effort Hang Clean and Press (3/1 - just to see what my max is)

• 3 x 110#
• 3 x 120#
• 3 x 130#
• 1 x 140#
• 1 x 150#
  
• 1 x 160# (PR)
  
• 1 x 170# FAIL
• 1 x 170# FAIL

Could not get the clean at 170. Burned 10 reps on 80# to finish.

2. Weighted DB Conditioning Circuit - all with 50lb DB

• one-arm snatch x 5/side
• one-arm swing x 5/side
• one-arm row x 5/side
• one-arm bench press x 5/side

Repeat 3x.

Funny how the benches were kind of tough (the hardest thing) and for the snatches/swings, 50lb felt light as a feather. Still was a burner. Included the swings because the smerl of my back has been bothering me - particularly the right side - and I need to do some lower back strengthening. It actually bothers me a bit after my clean/presses whenever I do those but answer is not fear, it's strength!
