It was bizarre. Like someone stabbed my heel when I was running. Probably plantar fasciitis - so will just watch volume. My 5/3/1 has been really progressing well - so ratcheting back the AMRAP sets might be perfect. While 185x10 on bench and row is not anything special, it does mean Iām getting a decent level of strength back. Will just keep inching everything up. Iām at 5 rounds through. 5 more will have me back in legit good shape. So donāt need to push through potential injuries.
Yeah, I think the look I would like to have is out of the question. My body wonāt carry an extra 40 lbs. This year was my final to try to add mass. I was 220 at the start and topped out at 250. Iām 240 now and feel a little better but being heavier is uncomfortable and Iām pretty sure the weight has gone to my legs, glutes, and mid section. Bigger legs are cool, but they donāt do much for achieving that jacked look. Iām going to have to settle for lean and athletic.
Yeah, Iām at 220 now, and walking around at 250 would be cool for about a week - until I realized I couldnāt tie my shoes, and had to get all new clothes. 220 at lower bodyfat would be my ideal, I think. Iām 220 with about 185 LBM at the moment. Getting to 200/205 LBM at 220 would be sweet.
Treadmill pushes - where you keep treadmill off and just push the belt. 3x30ā
3x3 hang power clean - 175-195-215 (9 total)
Pendlay Row 3x3: 150-170-185 (12)
Finisher: Metcon where I alternated sets of 10 pushups with 10 calories on stair mill for 5 rounds. Nice little gasser.
The cleans and rows I did 3 or 4 warmup sets too. I keep making steady progress. May have underestimated my training max at the beginning - but feels great to keep progressing!
In keeping with my ādo somethingā every day - this morning before work, I was going to do the gym, but just not quite back in my sleep groove well enough to wake-up, workout, and then get to the office in time. So - did some curls (maybe 50 reps), some mobility, and then 90 swings (30 with 30#, 30 with 55#, 30 with 100#). Still planning on an evening session, but if I donāt get to it, I did something at least.
