Hey guys. Sorry for the long lapse in updates, the past couple weeks have been hectic with me moving to Mass and getting set up at my internship and whatnot. I'm finally all settled into a regular schedule so hopefully I'll be able to pay more attention to this blog. But anyways, in other news, Chrissy is currently in Italy for 2 weeks so her training is on hold. My training is taking a drastic turn due to my internship at Mike Boyle Strength and Conditioning.
At MBSC you are required to do the entire summer workout plan while interning. Their philosophy is that you need to be able to do a workout to coach it. Unfortunately for me, their program is centered around field sports and isn't conducive to powerlifting. The program is centered around a lot of unilateral limb work and stressing stabilizers and synergist muscles. Because of this, my training is sort of on hold. I'm using this time to heal up my hips and gain some balance in my upper body. On sunday's ill be doing the Bench/Deadlift/ and possibly military press work sets of Juggernaut to keep my training progressing and I'll try to post fitness tidbits on here as much as possible.
Here's how today's workout went:
Dynamic warm up
Deadlift: 135x5, 225x3, 285x8x5
Bench: 45x5, 115x5, 140x8x5
Military Press: 45x5, 80x8, 80x8
My shoulders were feeling dead so instead of continuing I called it quits after 2 work sets since I have 4 days in a row of working out at Boyles ahead of me.
Here's todays exercise of the day: X-Pulldowns
These are awesome for scap. stability and for improving the strength of your scap retractors (which everyone needs). Ideally these are done on a Kesier but any functional trainer will do. Just remember to keep your shoulders set and worry about form rather than weight.
Well thats all for today guys. Until next time.
