Training update...

It seems that adding one rep is not linear but rather it is exponential at times.

Yesterday - 9/27
Rest

Today
Prep - foam roller and GFM
24 kg Get-up + x 1+1
36 kg Get-up x 1+1 x 3

36 kg Strength Aerobics - 10 seconds on/30 seconds off
{Clean + Press + FS} R + L
then alternating R then L sets of:
{Clean + Press x 2 + FS} x 16 sets
{Clean + Press + FS + SN } x 16 sets
Total of 34 sets

stretch

Having 4 reps per set of Strength Aerobics is not a  linear increase - at least for me.
The last 6-8 sets were a challenge.

Training update...

It has been a tough week.
We found out Thursday morning 9/7 that my Mother-in-Law had passed away so everything came to halt and we got ourselves together and made the trip be a part of the arrangements and funeral etc...
The funeral was a great celebration of her life and she was well loved and is now at peace.

Saturday and Sunday I was able to get in a hotel workout:
Elliptical 30 min
DB press x 50# x 15
DB row x 50# x 15
Goblet squat x 50# x 15
DB "skull crushers" x 25# x 15
DB Curls x 30# x 15

Good to get some work in to assist in handling the stress.

Drive back to Pittsburgh on Tuesday

24 kg Get-up + x 1+1
36 kg Get-up x 1+1 x 5 sets

Last night 9/14
Elliptical x 42 min
level 14, random, avg. HR 130
Certainly hit some higher heart rates during some of the Hills but I had been getting the same avg. HR at level 11 or so previously so I may just be getting in better "shape".

Today
