Random Tuesday Thoughts and Bonus Training

I'm coming to the point where the minimal amount of work I have to do to progress is increasing. I have to attack my weak points harder and more often. I also have to prioritize recovery even more than I already have. Today I went in for an extra workout for weak points in my squat, namely my quads and abs.

Lunges (each leg):
3x6 135

GHD Sit Ups:
3x12 Body

Leg Extensions:
3x10 90

It's summer and I wanna relax and enjoy it, but I also don't want to lose my edge. At the same time, however, I know from experience that a temporary gung-ho attack mode only gets you so far. It's really consistency over time that produces champions, and every winner has periods of backing off.

So, it's been a while, yet again. Now that it's summer, though, I think I'll start updating this blog regularly again. Following is today's squat focused workout. It's my deload week so nothing too crazy. I even threw some movements in that I don't normally do.

Squat:
2x8 Bar
1x5 135
1x3 225
1x2 275
1x1 325
2x3 275

Iso-Lateral Leg Press:

One Arm DB Press:
3x6 65

Pull Ups:
3x8 Bodyweight

Back Extensions:
3x10 45

GHD Sit Up:
2x12 Bodyweight

Just a note: I did the GHD sit ups like Dan Green does, focusing on extending out, and not all the way down like CrossFitters do.
