TD 72

starting from yesterday's post, our workouts in the morning are going to be split up into 2 parts: (1) strength lift and (2) a metcon- all the way until tough mudder tri-state.  if HD and i don't miss any planned workouts, we will end off at TD 90 before tough mudder.  that week should also be the next deload week!... i can't believe this 6-month journey is coming to fruition... i was telling HD that the blog will go on, so long as he and i continue to workout together.... i'll just have to change the headline is all, after nov. 12...

as i wrote yesterday, i've learned a little about programming and constantly varying monostructural, weightlifting, and gymnastic exercises... so i decided to take a shot at it for about twenty training days and HD & i will re-evaluate from there.

lift
squat- 5 reps/95lbs, 5 reps/115lbs, 3 reps/135lbs, 5 reps/95lbs, 5 reps/115lbs, 5 reps/135lbs

i wanted to do more squats, but i had to look at the big picture and ease up.  excited to start another cycle of 5/3/1 next week!

"elizabeth"
21-15-9 for time
dips
squat clean (95lbs, scaled down from 135lbs)

here is HD's first round:

results
HD: 13min 28sec     DV: 10min 4sec

afterward, i felt fresh throughout the whole day, so maybe this is the answer to maintaining energy levels.... haha, not overdoing it in the morning, yet working at high intensity.

we're taking a rest day tomorrow, so talk to you all on thursday!
