Lifting: 5/3/1B w2d4 - bench press Workout
Finishing up W2 of 5/3/1 with bench presses in the garage, then 50m sprints outside.
Warmup:
5 min jump rope, resistance band stretches and pulls.
BENCH:
Warmup sets: 5 x 55#, 5 x 65#, 3 x 80#
Working sets: 3 x 95#, 3 x 110#, 3+ x 120# (8 reps)
Strstd.com calculates my new theoretical 1RM at 151#, which is just over what I lifted for an actual 1RM the other week. So right on target. Warmup sets were easy, working sets also good. Tried to maintain good wrist form.
Then
5 x 10 @ 65#
Smooth.
Then
Death By 50m Sprint
Finished 3 rounds, failed on R4.
Holy shit did that ever suck. I'm going to try to cut body fat in May, so I'm going to incorporate more sprinting in every week. Went on a flat stretch of sidewalk by the house and went back and forth to the confusion of a neighbor watering her garden. Like all Death By workouts, the first round was great. Hit a 7min/mi pace. After that, no. I may need to do this more, or change it to 30m sprints until I get better.
