I've been slacking...

On my training blog lately - sorry!

Last week wasn't too exciting, and I can't remember all my weights off the top of my head. The general structure looked like this:

Tuesday - Lower body
Wednesday - Upper body
Thursday - Krav Maga bag class
Saturday - Speed pulls, good mornings etc.

This week has been a little scattered, too, especially with my buddy coming in to town from LA on Friday.

Here's yesterday's workout:

Magnificent Mobility warm-up

Intrinsic hip circuit

Front Squat warm-up to 12" box, 135x5, 185x3

Back Squats to 16" box, 2x5 w/225, 315x1

I'm going to start incorporating front squats in as a warm-up to help maintain good hip mobility and trunk stiffness.

The back squats didn't feel bad, just heavy. I need to get used to having some heavy iron on my back.

RDL's, 2x5 w/225

Low back was a little stiff so I didn't push this too much.

Bulgarian Split Squat EQI, 30 seconds each side

Here's my tenative game plan for the rest of the week:

Thursday - Upper body workout (AM) and Krav bag class (PM)
Friday - 18 holes of golfing fun
Saturday - Mixed upper/lower workout

Stay strong
