That's how much weight I cleaned and pressed today :)
10 sets of 5 reps, with a barbell loaded at 60 lbs.
Supersetted with 10 sets of 30 mixed KB swings with a 12 kg bell.
In slightly less than 30 minutes.
I am strong. I am invincible. I am fucking nuts.
This workout, btw, is Resolution #1. Next time I do it I need to up my weights since I got to 10 sets.
Yesterday's workout was a fun little thing involving a 10 lb medicine ball:
Superset: lateral lunge chop, 3x12 per side; one arm squat press, 3x8 per side
Superset: 1-leg pistol squats, 3x5 per side; elevated pushups, 3x12 per side
Superset: 1'leg hip extensions, 3x15 per side; McGill crunches, 3x10 per side
Tri-set: TRX rows, 3x15 (these were supposed to be body rows with feet on the ball, but those were so not happening); prone tucks, 3x12; rollout planks, 3x10
Burpees, 5x10. What made these special was, as I did the jump I tossed the medicine ball up, then caught it on the descent, dropping into a low squat. From there I set the ball down, did the squat thrust back, lowered my chest to the ball, then reversed the motion. There's something about catching the ball as you sink into the squat that I really like. Call me a disciple of Sacher-Masoch if you will. :)
