recap

finally stacked enough workouts to have something to write about.  I'll start with this morning and see if I can work my way backwards to last Thursday.  50 min run this morning and then about a 20 min walk with the Megan.  Felt really slow, but it turned out to be just slightly slower than 10min miles (which by most standards is quite slow) and I'm OK with that at current weight.  Last night was squats: 420 x 3, 445 x 3, and 470 x 3.  The last set was sloppy, but I'm pretty sure I hit depth on all three and called it good.  Wanted five, but it just wasn't there.  followed that up with a few sets of body weight one leg squats and hanging leg lifts.  Then spun on the stationary bike a medium/hard pace for about ten minutes.  I stayed pretty active through the weekend working in the yard.  The highlight was carry 320lbs of concrete from the barn to the house and mixing it all with a shovel.  Great ab workout.  Friday night was bench.  Did five sets of 10 reps with 235lbs.  Talk about mundane.  Anyway, my titties were pretty soar yesterday so it had to do some good.  Thursday night was deadlifts from the Andy Bolton "How to pull a grand" program.  Worked up to a set of 5 with 385lbs.  Seemed kind of lame a the time and seems even more so now writing down.  However, this was the first time I've pulled from the ground in several weeks.  It's too early to tell whether the heavy rack pulls have any crossover value at all.  If nothing else, I think my grip has gotten stronger for  the effort.  slightly less than two weeks out from the Tough Mudder.  Check this out:
