So, I took a week off to let my thumb/wrist recover. It was tough, but I'm so glad I did. I got back in this morning and did TT2K4 Workout B. I'm trying to apply the principle of getting better/stronger each workout and today I was successful setting a PR in the BB Squat.
TT2K4 Workout B
Dynamic Warm-up
Specific Warm-up
BB Squat 185x8
Hammer Strength (HS) Iso Shoulder-Press 90x8
1A) BB Squat 245x8x3
1B) HS Iso Shoulder-Press 110x8x3
2A) DB Reverse Lunge 40x6x2, 30x6
2B) Bulgarian Split Squat BWTx12, BWTx8
3A) 1-Leg Stability Ball Curl BWTx10, BWTx8
3B) Spiderman Climb BWTx12x2
Observations:
* Wrist and thumb felt great. The new gloves w/ the wrist wrap really help.
* Squat is getting better, but it still needs a lot of work. Need to focus on leading with my rear and then sinking down in between my legs. My breathing also needs some work. I feel great during the squat, but I get a little lightheaded after each set.
* Not quite strong enough to use dumbbells for the Bulgarian Split squat yet. My legs were fried after the squats.
* I've never done the 1-Leg Stability ball curls before. Might be one of the hardest moves I've ever done!
I’ve Changed My Thoughts on Cardio… Here’s Why

The comment box is open! Nice work on the Rows (I finally allowed myself to push it and did 3 sets with the 75# DBs). I've been using DBs (50#) for the Bulg. Split Squats, but haven't been able to hit the 12 reps...here I thought it was just me.
ReplyDeleteI found that the 1 Leg Stab. Ball Curl gets much easier over time...at first it was beyond tough. I'm looking forward to seeing how you progress.

Mike,
ReplyDeleteYou've got me beat by a mile on the Bulg. Split squats. After doing regular squats, I struggle just to finish with my bodyweight! But I'm getting better. I've got two really good logs to post this evening, and one really crappy one.
