Totally whiffed on the training split post yesterday… my apologies. Will do my best to get it up tomorrow.
Today’s workouts were a mix of traditional and out of the box. I matched a PR for my deadlift at 455# and managed 22 repetitions on my max bodyweight set of bench. While these are good numbers for me, I still wasn’t feeling all that great. I’m thinking my new schedule of splitting time between the gym and my day job is beginning to catch up with me. My answer was to sneak a power nap from 3.30 to 4.30 before getting on to the crux of the day.
As usual I found myself preferring this more creative brand of training. I’d even go so far as to say that I think this evening’s conditioning session was my favorite workout of the last 6 months. It was really tough, really fun, and really different. Check the video below and keep sending me your storyline submissions!!!
