2012 Off Season TD 17

this morning HD and i split up the sessions into (1) deadlifts, (2) a superset, and (3) a timed workout.  hopefully we'll get to sneak in a workout in the afternoon and complete this strength cycle, along with our deload week of 60% 1RM... haha we're getting too spoiled.

deadlifts
5reps/135lbs, 5reps/190lbs, 5reps/190lbs, 5reps/190lbs, 5reps/190lbs

used to be our favorite lift haha... now we kinda dread it even if it's light this week.  HD was killing it at 235lbs.  i have to catch up!

next, superset
front squats- 12reps/70lbs, 10reps/70lbs, 8reps/70lbs
modified front planks- 25sec, 25sec, 25sec

this weight for the front squats wasn't taxing at all and gave me a good stretch.  it was good practice to work on our form.  moreover, when you get used to doing 60sec for the modified front planks, 25sec is a breeze... sorta felt like we were cheating ourselves, but we have to keep in mind that "deloading" is necessary.

last, for time
5 rounds
swim 50 meters
15 hand-release pushups
15 bicycles

here are my first two rounds:


i always say that i've gotta start getting used to putting my head down in the water, but i was stubborn this morning... next friday we plan on doing a longer swim, so i gotta get my butt in gear for that and keep my head in the water.

results
HD: 12min 56sec     DV: 10min 47sec

that's all for now.  hope to see you in the afternoon.
