Back in the groove

First old age is a bitch.

Now, I have got to take some time off this heavy lifting. It really sucks to have your mind want one thing and your body decide on a totally different thing. But this is the laws of the land. You realize that you can't do something a certain way and God, in his glory, gives you the one gift that does indeed come with time and age, wisdom. You learn and adapt. Funny how that works out.

Monday, Chris and I took off for a crossfit that should have been a good way to ease back on the horse. Surrrre

Five rounds for time.
Run 1/4 mile
10 hanging clean 95lbs
30 pushups
10 knees to elbows

My time was 22m53s and Chris tool a time right under 27. I feel we should have went with a heavier clean as the 95 felt really light through the whole wod. After I laid out on the floor like I just had someone hit me in the breadbasket. Trainer ask if I was good and I replied yeah I am good better than I have been in awhile.

Tuesday I had plans for a wod with Dan but the weather gods said nay and decided to see if they could drown us. So off to the gym I went. A good squat workout with some slow serious deep squats.

5x5 squats with final set 275lbs
5x5 sissy squats with final set 155lbs
3x10 leg press with final set 460lbs
3 sets walking lunges 80lbs length of gym
1 set of step ups with 70lbs

Overall happy with the squats. Tool my time between sets and focused. I am feeling them today.

Also I've started a new daily workout that I do in conjunction with whatever I do that day. It's a 60 day program. On day one I do:
10 pullups
10 lunges
10 pushups
On day two I add 1 rep to each exercise. Should be interesting by the middle of next month.
