    Friday 5/16

    Pull Ups 10 x 3 (1 min rest)

    Rack Pulls (knee height)

    5 x 225
    1 x 315
    1 x 405
    1 x 495
    1 x 585
    8 x 495
    12 x 405

    Rack Rows 3 x 12 x 225

    Reverse Grip Pulldowns 4 x 10-15

    Plan was to hit a single with 635 on rack pulls, but on the 585 pull, I got a shooting pain thru my hamstring/adductor area. Hamstrings been sore since Monday from the Goodmornings, so I think I just wasn't fully recovered. Probably should have warmed up better too. Either way, decided not to go heavier and went back down to 495 and just pulled for reps. Whole workout felt great, back is blown up from erectors to traps.

    Hope nothing got hurt in there Andy! 585 is still damn impressive though...

    Hey Andy, do you do your pulldowns strict?

    Yes. Very. I use a prolonged stretch at the top as well.

    Tuesday 5/20

    Conditioning: 1 hour Inclined Treadmill

    Been limited to the treadmill and the sled for the last few weeks. I want to get back onto the track, but I had some pretty good pain going on in the top of my foot that was preventing me from sprinting (Am I getting old?). I also like to train between 11 - 1 and the general public isn't allowed to use the track while school is in session. Its tougher for me to get there in the evenings.

    Was there a debate about this?

    Thurs 5/22

    Cardio - 1 hour incline treadmill. These sessions are leaning me out rather quickly. I'd post a before and after picture but that's gay

    Well, kinda - you're a Marine. Speaking of that, thanks for your service Andy, and here's to hoping you have a great Memorial Day weekend.
