I’ve previously mentioned that weekends are generally a lot less restrained than during the week, right? Because, yeah, they are. It’s usually just one junky early-afternoon meal and that’s pretty much it for the day.
Yesterday we knew we were headed to “dog day” at a local garden, so we grabbed McMuffins on the way, sat and ate mini-picnic-style, then walked around.
Sunday workout:
Morning: 90-min walk with Mrs. and dog.
Afternoon:
A1) Push-up 10x10
A2) Sit-up 10x10
A3) Air squat 10x10
Followed by 30 min. lawn mowing (Maybe last go’round for the season? Depends on how crazy the weather stays.)
Bodyweight workout was done for time. Ended up being 16:56, just trucking steadily through it to see what’s what, not deliberately racing the clock. Next time it rolls around, of course, shooting to cut the time down.
Mrs. started taking an online yoga class on Sunday afternoons, so I figured I’ll use the time to grab a quick workout instead of loafing around all weekend. Didn’t feel like breaking out the weights, so bodyweight-only stuff in the backyard was a nice alternative.
Not gonna lie, getting in touch with more coaches recently to setup the AMA threads has sparked/rekindled a fire and made me want to double-down on making sure I’m walking the walk (… he says after having MickeyD’s and pizza and beer yesterday. Ugh. One thing at at time.)
Really appreciate the work you’ve done with the AMAs. I’m having a blast.
Great to hear, man. Really glad they’re turning out so well for everyone.
Thursday morning weight: 196.7
Wednesday food:

11:00 - Eggs, Normandy veg

3:00 - Plazma, 5g creatine
5:00 - Grilled chicken breast, bbq sauce
7:00 - Roasted chicken; baked potato; kale with onions
9:00 - 2 scoops Metabolic Drive, cinnamon, peanut butter
Wednesday workout:
A) Progressive pulls EMOMx15 min
B) Semi-sumo deadlift 1x1
C) 1-arm hanging band lateral raise 3x8 (2-count peak pause)
Progressive pulls are basically an old school mechanical advantage drop set: Power cleans for sets of 3, then high pulls for sets of 3, then deadlifts for sets of 3, then deadlift singles.
Decided to try them EMOM for a “two great tastes that taste great together” approach. Felt pretty solid since the pulls are still autoregulated - when you don’t get a successful triple (or when you know you won’t get the next one), you proceed to the next movement.
I added one heavier single after the EMOM because I was on a roll when time ran out. Added the laterals because I was still feeling frisky.
