Simple But Not Easy, Today's Training and Hello Turkey
The Bootcampers found out today that simple is not easy. After a thorough warmup we did a stack workout. Start with one exercise, rest, then we do two exercies, rest, then three, etc, up to five exercises. We did one section that was kettlebells, one section bodyweight and one section mixed. Simple, quick, NOT easy. They did a great job.
My workout today is deadlifts. Seeing how heavy I can get. I like to do over over with the grip. Just feels weird to me to do over under. I will see how heavy I can get before I have to switch. Here’s how it went down:
Deadlifts
135 – 5 reps
145 – 3 reps
155 – 2 reps
165 – 1 rep
170 – 1 rep
175 – 1 rep
180 – 1 rep (grip starting to fail)
185 – 1 rep (over under grip) feels weird
190 – three failed attempts (man, I wanted that). The pic is 190 on the bar. Something to shoot for!
Finish
Three rounds
20 – hanging knee raises
10 – kettlebell swings (62#)
my grip was shot
Hello Turkey
