10 tempo aps around the tennis court
10 60(?)m runs 1:1 work:rest
6 10(?)m accelerations, cut twice
5 shock jumps, 5 depth jumps

Definitely overdid it on the speed work, feel like dog shit. Doubt I came down with a cold that quickly

So-reason for all the weird workouts: I’m in China for six weeks with no access to any Weights, and would prefer to not shrink to nothing

So I’ve been back in America for about a week. In preparation for HS, adopted a schedule that gives me about 30 minutes of training time. Sooo, changing training to one loosely based on @ActivitiesGuy; so far it’s looking like

  • working up to a 3 hard sets on a lower body lift 4-5x/week; 2days deadlift variation, 1day squat variation, 1 day explosive pulls (muscle snatch, continuous clean and press, etc) with some upper body mixed in and isolation at the end

  • Deadlifts + db pres/clean 'n press, Squats + laterals

  • Tentative schedule: Monday Deads, Tuesday Pulls, Wednesday Squats, Thursday Complex, Friday Deads, Saturday Distance, Sunday Sprints

  • 3 days conditioning (complex, hill sprints, distance run)

China was fucking amazing. Wish I could’ve stayed longer. Met my 3 cousins (15,17 and late 20s), had a blast. Also drank too much alcohol (I never got drunk though)

Also went to a 2 week summer camp, met a girl (no this doesn’t end how you think it ends). On the last night of camp, I went to her room to play uno and ended up spending the whole night with her. We were planning to meet in Shanghai but that didn’t work out.

If you never got drunk, you probably didn’t drink too much alcohol, bud. It’s a vacation! You enjoyed yourself, and you should regret nothing. Back to business.
