I knew it would happen. DOMS! My legs have been ridiculously sore since Monday’s workout. I thought I scaled it back enough, but I was wrong. Oh well. Rest on Tuesday and a light movement session yesterday seemed to help. I was able to do a full workout today without too much trouble. This week was my ramp-up towards restarting my LP strength program on Monday. In conjunction, I start classes with Integrative Nutrition Institute start on Monday as well. I’ll be doing a Whole 30 to celebrate the start of that year long nutrition and health counseling education. Take that, Monday!

Today’s Workout

Warm-up:

3 rounds of the following - 1 min. jump rope + 10 squats + 10 pushups + 10 situps + 10 good mornings @ 45#

Conditioning:

Followed along with EmerFit.com, but changed it to as many rounds as possible in 15 min.:

With a 95# bar, AMRAP in 15 minutes of - 5 deadlifts + 5 hang power cleans + 5 thrusters.

I got 6 rounds and stopped at 12 minutes and change.

I liked this workout. The deadlifts were easy, the hang power cleans started to tax my grip, and the thrusters just sucked. But, those 95# thrusters represent a boost in weight from my previous ground to overhead session by 15#. And that’s after this month long break. Pretty stoked with that result, and I’m even more amped to finish my LP and getting back to regular conditioning work.
