Purposely deloaded this weekend to keep my muscles fresh. This Wednesday, I will be trying out for the USA national bobsledding team, so I need to be on my A-game.

After sprinting, jumping, and granny tossing a shot put yesterday (and then doing push training for bobsled), I didn’t make it to the push camp. I was 7/10 of a second too slow on my 45m dash.

I have an adventure race this Sunday, and I have fire in my veins now. Gonna resume tomorrow afternoon and work to be more explosive.

Yes. I can try again at the next 7 tryouts if I wanted to. But I’m gonna work more and see if I can hit my marks better.

Plus, Lake Placid is a bit of a hike for a day and half stay up there, so I’m waiting for the Albany and Syracuse dates to be posted.

New workout schedule.

Today:
Front squat 8-6-4-2 x185

Leg press 5x5x675

Leg ext 5x5x135

Leg curl 5x5x95

Deadlift 8-6-4-2x 245

Back extensions 5x5x25lbs

Kb swings 50reps x 70lbs

8mins of sprinting stairs/double footed

Power cleans 8-6-4-2x115

Jerks 4x5x85lbs, 1x5x95lbs
Kb high pulls 5x5x40

Bench 8-6-4-2x105

Lat pull down 5x5x100

Cable bicep curls 4x5x70, 1x5x80

Pull overs 1x5x40, 2x5x45, 2x5x50

Note: on my 8-6-4-2 reps, there is a ~15second pause in between sets.

Today, I did a 5k adventure race for the first time since Fall 2012. So much fun! I’m a little beaten up and tired, but I hit all 26 obstacles and finished the 5k with a time of 51:02, so I’m fairly proud of that. There were a lot of walls to hurdle and climb over, lots of mud and rolling mounds to get through, three different tests of balances, some muddy water pits, a sand bag carry, and jumps over fire.

But by far my favorite obstacle, and the one I owned, was the ramp that led to the finish line. Killed it.

Been dealing with an on and off migraine and headache since the race Sunday, but still got a work out in this morning.

3x20 goblet squats 35lbs
7-7-7 Pull-ups

3x20 squat thrusts
7-6-7 Chin-ups

2x10 Push-ups
2x10 tuck jumps

The goal for the pull-ups and chin-ups is to hit at least 20 reps with the shortest amount of sets. This has been the goal for a while. On Sunday, after the race, I did the marine pull-up/chin-up test and hit 9 in a row, which felt good. So there’s definite improvement in that department.

Now, I have to work on my 7/10s of a second…
