Saturday Training


'Team Workout' Paired Murph w/ extended run

Run, 1.35 mi

100 Push-up (hand release)s
150 Air Squats
Run, 1.35 mi

Then I decided (despite my hand being ripped open by the pull ups) to set a new Deadlift 1RM. Had more in my, but i couldn't grip the bar properly. Decided I am going to retest everything at the end of my 5/3/1 cycle and update my figures relative to BW then!

That's me just finished week 2 of it to be fair mate - will be able to give a good assessment once I am complete.

It is certainly more fun than the 5x5 I had been doing - it is actually beyond 5/3/1 as it includes joker sets and an AMRAP set for each compound.

It does take quite a while in the gym as I am working out with a colleague who is using lighter weights so we need to do a lot of chopping and changing between lifts! Ideally I would be able to get some accessory work in as well.

I need to develop the ability to get out my bed so I can get to crossfit sessions in the morning
 
Hi mate

Yes I did - I am in at 203lbs :)

I will get my post done tomorrow, including yesterdays & todays lifting stats - I have just been a bit busy with work and stuff!
 
Need to make sure I keep this log updated! I am still training though so don't
fear!
