9/9/2019

Strength Training

Warm-up: 5 box jumps, 5 med ball throws, 5 med ball slams.
Squats: 45x5, 135x5, 225x3, 280x5, 280x5, 280x5.
Press: 45x5x2, 75x5, 95x3, 115x5, 115x5, 115x5.
Barbell Rows: 95x5, 115x5, 140x8, 140x8, 140x8.
Lat Pull-downs: 122.5x8, 122.5x8, 122.5x8
Stretch: kick stretches.

So, this next two month stretch will be a blessing and a curse. A blessing to my lifting schedule; I'm working the mid-shift, and will be able to hit my three day per week lifting schedule in the mornings. Prior to this, I was missing Mondays and getting two days in a week, and my numbers were diving. Now, I've just backed everything off to my warm-up sets, and am working from there. I'm also dropping the power cleans/snatches for the barbell row in the middle of the week, and deadlifting two days per week. The power movements just aren't necessary for a guy at my age to necessarily be doing, and I'll get more benefit in moving more weight with the barbell row and saving my knees and worrying about hitting the rack position on the power cleans.

The curse is that my TKD classes are now covered up by my work shift, which means all TKD training will be solo, which I'll hopefully start up here soon.

I probably could have added 10 lbs to the deadlift. The pulls came off the floor with good speed.

9/16/2019

Strength Training

Warm-ups: 5 box jumps (taller box), 5 med ball throws, 5 med ball slams.
Squats: 45x5, 135x5, 225x3, 290x5, 290x5, 290x5.
Press: 45x5x2, 75x5, 95x3, 120x5, 120x5, 120x5.
Deadlifts: 135x5, 205x3, 225x1, 285x5, 225x5, 225x3.
Stretch: kick stretches, quads, and sat in the stretching machine; got it up to 130 degrees.

The squats seemed tough today, and I'm not sure why. My bar speed was decent, but it just felt tough out of the hole. I added a few sets after the deadlift work set to try to work on grip strength a little more.

Sitting in the stretching machine was really nice. It made me feel more loose afterwards, which I think will help me out more in getting back to class. I'm going to keep this up, along with my other stretching.

Strength Training

Warm-up: 5 box jumps, 5 med ball throws, 5 med ball slams.
Squats: 45x5, 135x5, 225x3, 265x1, 300x5, 300x5, 300x5.
Press: 45x5x2, 75x5, 95x3, 122.5x5, 122.5x5, 122.5x5.

Stretch: kick stretches, quads, stretching machine.

The two back off sets for deadlifts seem to be helping, or at least not hurting the next workout. I really feel the work in my hands and forearms, and I try to hold that last rep for as long as my grip will allow without dropping the weight. I've been pressing without the belt, and will continue that as long as I can.

Stretch: kick stretches, quads, and stretching machine.

I'd heard stories of guys squatting heavy weights, and the music in the gym fading out as they dropped into the bottom of the squat. So today, I just decided to pay attention to the music while I did my reps. Sure enough, there was a little bit of drop in octave, as I drove up to the top, it went back to normal. Pretty cool. It'll really change when it gets heavy.
