TD 42 & DD2 officially joins 4TWC!

this morning, HD & i split the training day up into 3 parts: (1) swim, (2) moderate treadmill work, and (3) lifts.  before i go into detail, i want to announce that DD2 has officially joined 4TWC, making us 16 members strong!  a very intelligent and hard-working individual, he makes a great addition to the team.

here is DD2 attempting a 405lbs deadlift:

although he didn't succeed, it still was a good attempt.  i don't know how many normal people that would be willing to even think about deadlifting that much weight haha... anyway-

warmup
400m swim.  we didn't time this portion, we just worked on form and focusing on getting the body warm & the blood flowing.

next, moderate treadmill run
for 9mins- 8mph @ 1.0% incline
total: 1.2 miles, approx. 142 calories burned

last:

for the first superset, it seems to me that my upper body is stronger than my legs, which i really hate.  by the last set, it felt as if my legs barely had any juice left to exercise.  here is my 3rd set:

for the tri-set, i felt really strong on the pullups and it was evident that my lat injury has subsided.  however, on the 3rd set, i was surprised that i only managed 4 reps on the bent-over row.  here is HD going through his 1st set:

and that's basically it.  i'm off to cape may for the next three days, so HD and i won't have a training day together until tuesday.  tomorrow morning, i plan on working on some CMC movements because there are only 3 weeks left until The Race For Tomorrow.  so the remaining saturdays until then will be spent working on burpees, box jumps, thrusters, kettlebell swings, and a mid-distance run of at least 6 miles.

i hope all of you enjoy the weekend and stay safe.

get involved w/or donate to the Wounded Warrior Project

cheers,
