06 Jan 2014 - From Road Warrior to Taunton Rider

From the time i was awoken until i got to the gym it was raining. With the threat of Flash freezing later in the day. Every time i hear that term it makes me think of that insane scene from Day after tomorrow. Where the Cold air is almost a live. Any how the roads were semi bare leaving the island and driving was somewhat smooth getting to the ferry then onto the gym.

0625 hrs
Completed in a Semi Circuit /Superset like fashion

Push Ups 4 x 17
Head Harness 4 x 15 x 44 lbs
Barbell Curls 2 x 21 x Barbell (In the cage for extra juice!)
Yes i Curled in the Squat Cage. I am that bad ass. Actually it just made sense. Push Ups felt very smooth and explosive. Bench tomorrow so this was an active rest day. The 44 lbs KB felt light on the head harness today. This might be my new standard.

What the outside world is quickly turning into. 

Tricep Pull Downs 4 x 21 x EFS Orange Band
Fat Man Pull Ups /Rows 4 x 13
This was a good Combo and i got a great Tricep Pump in both arms which is another positive sign for my left side.

GHR 3 x 7
Capt Kirkawoski Shrugs (Wide /Medium /Close Grip)
1 x 7/7/7 x 135
2 x 7/7/7 x 155

First time doing Shrugs since i felt my back nearly go doing these. So I figured go light, hold at the top and squeeze harder. My Low back was feeling better than it has the past few days but why test it doing something that doesn't really matter?

What driving to work tomorrow will probably feel like

Prowler 8 x 40 yards x 90 lbs

This was the real reason for the day. Getting this done. After push 5 i was reduced to a fast walk instead of a sprint. My legs were starting to die and figured cut back on the throttle and finish in a decent amount of time or push hard and run out of time. But trust me even walking with it quickly it was hideous. I did run the or attempt to run the 8th push and got 3/4 of the way before i my legs turned to rubber. Good times. break times were 2 min or less.

Keep Moving Forward, Keep Getting Strong(er)
