Training for a powerlifting competition is vastly different than the training I am doing right now. The change is good, but it is also hard work. It is only mid-morning and I am desperately wishing for a nap, except I am seldom able to nap and I have to work in a couple of hours. A one hour training session has utterly wiped me out. I might need some coffee before work to make it through my closing shift.
warm up:
overhead squats with 35 lb bar-2 sets of 10
narrow stance windmills-bodyweight x 8 each, with 10kg kettlebell x 8 each
1a. skater squats with 5 lb dumbbells
to 3 folds of the mat x 12 each leg
to 2 folds of the mat x 10 each leg
1b. single arm dumbbell push press
20 lbs x 8 each, 25 lbs x 8 each
2a. front squats-flat shoes
43 lbs x 10, 93 x 8, 113 x 6, 113 x 6
2b. chin ups-neutral grip, with small green band
x 7, x 6, x 6, x 3
3. a 12 minute circuit of:
-dumbbell curls with 15 lbs x 15, x 13, x 10
-kettlebell triceps extensions with 10kg x 15, x 10, x 6
-ab wheel x 15, x 11, x 10
-skipping 1 minute x 3 rounds
Maybe I can try closing my eyes for 15-20 minutes…
