Quick Recap

Haven't sat down at a computer for a while but here we go..

Thursday I just did a bunch of overhead work.. with no particular order or scheme in mind.. Just sort of put shit overhead because I wanted to let my legs continue to heal.
I did a bunch of 3 rep and 2 rep sets from 105 up to 130..
Then I kept 105 on the bar and did an ascending ladder if push press and strict pull ups from 1 up to 9 of each, with no time scheme. Just sort of went back and forth while the 7 PM class was mobilizing. I kept getting chatty and off course.

Friday - Tuesday I was in LA.. ate crappy, slept well, rested well. got 2 half ass hotel fitness room WODs in.. Not really happy with either, but they were fine just to "do something"..

First one I did a super set of front squats (on a smith machine, which I hate with a ripping passing) and bench press..
I did 5 reps of each and ascended the weights on the front squat from 155 up to 195, and 125 up to 155 on the bench.. Nothing special.. No time component.. just strength stuff..

Second one I did a really haphazard 20 minute AMRAP which crumbled halfway through..
The goal was to do: 5 lat pull-downs to mimic a strict pull up, 5 overhead press machine, 5 back squats in the smith machine, then a 200m sprint on the tredmill.
I put 140 on the lat pulldown to try to keep my form super strict, 90 on the overhead press (which I upped to 105 midway because it was too easy).. The back squats I abandoned halfway because the smith machine makes my back hurt, it always feels like you are pushing against the tower horizontally instead of "up" against the barbell, thing blows. I then subbed 15 air squats for this from the halfway point onward. The sprints I was hoping to just keep the machine on and running the whole time and hop on the moving tread when it was time to run, but it had a weight sensor so I had to start and stop it every time which was a buzzkill on the metcon portion of this..

I will say this though.. I sort of "half-like" to do sprints on the treadmill because once you set the pace to max out the machine (like 12.4 mph or whatever the max is on most machines), you HAVE to keep that pace until its over... When I run outside I tend to mentally check out and slow down "when it starts to hurt" just with human nature.. but on the treadmill, you can't..  Sort of an interesting feature on a piece of equipment I otherwise hate.

First time running since the marathon and it felt fine.. Legs are back in working order.. Ready to crush some shit this month.. Let's do it.
