Courage corner

and so it was today. I swear there was heat rising off the platform in the garage today,lol. There's nothing like knowing the work that lay ahead on those days( which seem to be pretty frequent of late) that you would rather do anything than get started.

So now I focus on the skill of mental discipline as it is much harder to come by these days than physical discipline. The courage to do what I set out for myself regardless of the desire to do so at the time ;} As hard as it is I am really enjoying( afterwards) training alone. It truly is a test of my mettle when there is no audience, No encouragement and no other energy than what I bring to the table. ANd a number I have already convinced myself I should obtain.

Snatch Hi Pulls
36x5/5/5/5

44x10/10/8/8/6/6= 48 reps/set

x five rounds= 240 reps /10,560 foot pounds.

28 minutes.

Interesting. I did the same 240 reps on May 31 but used heavier and lighter weights

5/31/06
High Pulls Ladder
36x10/10
44x8/8
53x6/6 Five ladders= 240 reps in 25 minutes

total volume: 10,300 lbs
36x20x5 rounds = 3600 lbs
44x16x5= 3520 lbs
53x12x5=3180


Interesting that the heavier work sets were the lowest in total work and combo of the heavier and lighter work produced less total work than the constant weight for the same total number of reps.BUT the it was pretty darn close.

Oh yeah, I got a serious pump in my , ahem, glutes. Guess the hip snap is actually working right.

Pullups
7 sets of 5 ballistic. 35 total

MAN I was weak as a kitten here. I did them without the pauses and they were HARD! I the hi pulls killed my arms and shoulders it seems. I do get a good shoulder/trap podriv( yank) as I hip snap.

Waiters walk, 36 lbs.
each arm x 100 ft equal one lap ; 4 total laps

These actually felt good! even my right shoulder. the light work paid off. ALso, now walking on sidewalk not grass. time for a change.
