Away on a Break Back Home

MAR. 17

So, training at a gym there....

Smith Machine Clean & Press 3 x 5 (up each set of 5) 135, 145, 165
(I use this because of my bad right wrist and not being able to use a straight olympic bar because of it. Smith machine keeps the wrist stable.)

Incline Press in the power rack 5 x 5 with 215 lbs.
Alternated with ...
Plate Rows 115 lbs. 5 x 5
(Setting 2 45 lbs. and a 25 lbs. plates stacked ontop of a 10 lbs. plate just to clear the floor, Bend down and grip underneath the 45's edges and pull it back, up and into your chest in rowing motion. "Crush" with your forearms so the plates can't slide. Simulator for lifting round Atlas Stones. This exercise mimics it pretty well but is really tricky at first.)

1 Arm Farmers Walk 1 run each side for distance.
(Doing this carry 1 sided as if you were carrying a water bucket. Doing this 1 sided makes you have to work to balance and keep from tipping to the side and this is made even harder while moving/walking with a heavy dumbbell in 1 hand. Grip, back, calves, thighs, transverse abdominals, obliques as well as the other stabilizers in the trunk.)

Juijitsu before I left in a.m. 90 min.
