Workouts have continued to be sporadic. My younger daughter was here 3 or 4 times longer than expected because of some car issues, which I finally got sorted out. It was a pleasure having her here, but it definitely disrupted the regular routine! That plus the usual house project.
I ran on the treadmill Friday, total of 25 or so minutes, 3 sprints. Started off after a good 5 minutes walking for a warmup with a 6mph run for a minute. Then 7.5mph for a minute. Finally 8mph for not quite a minute. The goal here is: treadmill set to 10% incline and 10mph and see how long I can run. I'll be very excited if I can get close to 2 minutes. So far I'm not even to 10mph. I'll be running today following my weight training.
Chest workout today. Usual PVC pipe and light dumbbell warmup including PVC pipe bench press. Then empty bar 1x20
135: 1x10
185: 1x10
225: 1x5
265: 1x3 vety happy with this. First time I've even attempted 265 in quite some time.
255: 1x3 Probably could have gotten another rep but I'm by myself. Not looking for drama...
245: 1x4
225: 1x4 These last three sets were max effort. The bar stopped partway up the last rep and I had to dig deep for the extra push to get it up.
Db incline:
60lb: 2x7
Db lateral raises:
10lb: 1x20
15lb: 1x20
20lb: 1x15
Db "reverse flies?" Bent over raises? Not sure what you call these. Targeting rear delts. You get the idea...
15lb: 1x15
20lb: 1x15
Enough weight training. Time to run, which I DO NOT feel like doing! In between two of my heavy bench press sets I walked a quarter mile at 4mph, so I'm pretty much warmed up. Plus, my heart rate is up because I supersetted the db inclines and rear delt laterals. So I'll walk a bit and get right into running. My low back is a little bit sore so It'll take a little bit to loosen up...
