Comments: Straight up sauna session out here this morning. The idea was to get a deload/conditioning session and sweat out some beers. Mission accomplished. Time to go get some AC…
That’s a hell of a Deload. I think the metcon would have been enough for me. ![]()
Those metcons are a workout in themselves.

Comments: I’m not sure what I’ve done to my neck but I could barely turn my head yesterday without terrible pain on the left side. It may be a pulled trapezius because the pain goes from the base of my skull all the way down to my shoulder. I think I hurt it trying to do muscle-ups at the playground last weekend and must have reaggravated it lifting on Saturday. Because of that I decided not do anything that involved putting weight on my shoulders. This was definitely a solid session and finished with a nice 10 minute climb ride in the garage. The EZ Bar Goblet squats might be a new favorite.
Weight-wise, I haven’t counted calories in about 10 days while on vacation. I only worked out twice over that time. Yesterday morning I weighed 174.0 pounds so I have put on a pound or two. Time to buckle down and try to work that back off.
Nice work Trent. Looks like a very nice leg workout with some nice biking thrown in.
I am impressed you were able to even give a muscle up a try. ![]()
Sorry to hear about your neck and trap being sore. That is a painful area!
I hear you on the foods. July 4th for me carried over into the weekend as well. LoL
Hope that neck is feeling better quick!
Thanks Shane. I can get my chest above the bar but can’t get “forward” enough over the bar to get my weight centered enough to do the “dip” portion of the movement. If that makes sense… I feel like a little more practice and I could do it. Well, if this neck problem ever goes away…
I hope your neck/shoulder gets better. I have fudged that up at times. You will heal.
Thank you! Hoping it heals up soon!

5 Minute Cool Down Ride – Matt Wilpers
Comments: My legs felt great for this one so I pushed it. He was doing intervals in Zone 2 and Zone 5 mostly. I was doing Zone 4 and 6 respectively. The last two minutes were all in Zone 7 and that is what pushed my just past my previous PR. I got out my little fan too and turned that on and that helped a ton as well.
Damn. That is impressive man! That is really fast, especially doing it for a full 60 minute ride.
Congrats on that new PR. Smoked it!

Comments: Finally brough my Airdyne home last night. Figured I’d hop on it this morning. Definitely need to change that seat out… Went to the gym and had a nice Push session. That was more chest focused to try and take it easy on the upper trap. Good session. Will probably just do another Peloton ride tomorrow morning (as metcons that don’t involve the upper trap are hard to find). Also, I will somehow have to do a pull session while working around the upper trap. Not sure how possible that is. I think if I can avoid: deadlifts, upright rows, etc. and focus more on: Pull-ups, rows that focus more on the middle back and bicep curls I might be OK.
That was a heck of a push session Trent.
Good to see you were able to get your airdyne home and in use.
Good luck with the pull session. I did some swimming this weekend and noted how hard swimming is on the lats. Maybe swim some laps for an easy pull session this week?

Comments: Good ride. Was going to do a metcon this morning but figured I would take it easy on the trap muscle. Still got the blood and sweat flowing. Done.
Good on the decline bench. You do not see that performed much anymore.
Nice audible call there to let the trap heal up. Smoking pace too Trent. Great job!
Thanks gents!

Comments: Good session. I tried to stay away from anything that involved deads or upright rows. Hopefully the trap muscle is OK after that. Did some extra conditioning to try and burn some more calories. Done.
Great work Trent. You still got in some heavy sets even with that trap bothering you. Great way to work around and get it done.
