Quotidian Catch-up 9/30 - 10/2/2009

October 2, 2009

6 miles: 47:36 (7:56 mins per mile)

I had a job interview this afternoon, so running keeps you feeling light and gets rid of any bloating. Also, a heavy weight workout will deplete your glycogen stores and I know I always get really tired.

DL @ 295# X 10 +
IBP @ ??? X 6 +
5 Rounds

DLs 295# @ 10, 10, 8, 7, 6
IBP 225# X 1, 205# X 1, 185# X 5, 135# X 6, 5

Is 400# for 5 sets of 8 - 10 reps a possibility by the end of 2010?  I actually got lightheaded when i tried to do some eliptical work after this workout. So, that means some serious anaerobic depletion, and that can only happen with a "big boy" movement. Big boy movements involve multiple major muscle groups. This has a number of salubrious effects but two that stand out 1) they work large muscle groups and put secondary stress on a variety of core muscles, stabilizers etc 2) because they involve so many muscles they trigger testosterone growth. Deadlifts and back squats are two primo "big boy" movements.
