Recovery

A lot of things can come up on you all at once; my hip was killing me on sunday and the next day I felt sick as a dog--so no heavy weights for me. Foam rolled for a good half hour swam for a while and stretched. It's important that when things look grim, you look to do what you can; for me this is rehab/prehab and recovery work. So even though it's a huge bummer that I can't train--life goes on, and I'll work on what I can until I'm back ready to hit it hard again.

1 min of work @6rpm

This was a "skill" workout, not trying to get smoked.

Me and Valery Fedorenko.


Now a qualified AKC club coach. Learned a lot; felt great. Lots of interesting things to think about and drills to help me achieve some higher numbers and better times for my jerk sets (going to pick those up again with my new knowledge).
Valery was a great instructor and I'm glad I went through it. I was also lucky enough to meet Catherine Imes there as well who was an excellent instructor.

Quick workout:

185 x 5
205 x 3
215 x 1
225 x 1 x 2
KB Front Squat:

Med ball lateral throw x 8/8 x 3

Muay thai for 2 hrs
Finished Muay Thai with tabata burpees; hit 10 reps/set for the first few, finished with 9's. When I can hit 10's and still be explosive for all 8 rounds I will be strong and well conditioned.

Deadlift:
365 x 5 x 3
385 x 5 x 1

One arm Barbell Military Press:
85 x 5/5 x 4 (last few reps turned into side press)


Keg Clean and Press x 6
Keg Zercher Squat x 6
Rest 1:00 and repeat for 10 rounds. 1:00 work 1:00 rest, finished early on some sets so took more rest. Biceps and shoulders are fried from holding the keg in zercher position and my body and legs are cooked. This is not fun with a 120lb keg. I do not recommend this circuit for anyone who isn't completely crazy.
