SATURDAY TRAINING Dynamic warm up and stretching Single Leg Squats 10 lb dumbbells 5x10 One Arm Dumbbell Rows 40's 5x10 Football Bar Curls 50 5x10 Stir The Pot 5x10
SUNDAY CONDITIONING AND RECOVERY 50 minutes of shoveling snow 20 minutes of back and hip stretching McGill Situps 5x10
You could probably say the heavy squats only using 10 lb dumbbells is pretty hyperbolic. However, it could be said the 10's are exponentially heavier than using nothing as I have been doing. My legs are actually really sore. Yep, that's pathetic, but I'll own it.
The assistance was equally unheavy. I am adding in the dumbbell rows to get that range of motion back in my back. Slowly stretching and strengthening seems to be going a long way with my psoas, so I am going to take that route with my upper back as well. Stir the pot was a really great core exercise. I'm glad I found that one.
So, my body is still feeling pretty good from benching with my legs down on Friday. Constantly doing the little things is adding up. I have to stay on top of this crap especially being just a little over a month out from my meet.
We got more snow here on the Northeast. I love it. I shoveled my big butt off on Sunday morning. I will gladly count that as conditioning. I actually like doing it. I think it's because for many years I couldn't because Jess thought I would drop dead.
