TD 20

HD and i kept it simple today 'cause i had to get up to the city really early.  our legs and lower back were still aching from yesterday... we wanted to swim, run, swim, but the pool was packed!  so we had to adjust our session on the fly and this is what we came up with: (1) warm up run on treadmill, (2) leg & shoulder superset, (3) abs, (4) tabata on the treadmill:

treadmill
12 min @ 7mph, .5% incline
total: 1.4miles, approx. 159 calories burned

superset (sorry, no fancy charts for one superset)
squat-  12 reps/135lbs,     5 reps/205lbs,     6 reps/185lbs
thruster w/rotation - 10 reps/25lbs (each hand) x 3

here is HD doing his 3rd set:

what i've noticed after this superset is that we were either tired from yesterday's session, or our legs are weaker than our arms (which is super unsat if that's the case). 205lbs for me was difficult to get depth and i could barely get 5 reps this morning.  i can easily get 5 reps for 235lbs bench... so i'm hoping that our legs were just fatigued.  if not, we're going to have to re-focus our workouts on leg strength, because those muscles, along with your back are the most important muscles when it comes to activity.  the others are just "vanity muscles" that are just there for show haha.

weighted situp machine
25 reps/20lbs x 3


tabata on the treadmill
6.7mph, 12% incline, 20 seconds on: 10 seconds off x 8
unfortunately, i didn't track the approx. amount of calories burned on this one.

HD caught me doing an entire tabata:

we wrapped up by stretching and that was it.  hopefully, there aren't that many people using the pool tomorrow morning.  would definitely love to get some pool work in.  either case, we'll be ready to get it in.  currently, i'm heading out to send our friend AM off to the west coast.  tonight is his last night in NJ.  maybe i'll get some pics of the night up in tomorrow's post.  not gonna be a late night for me though, cause there are things to accomplish tomorrow morning.
