This Past Week (3/22-3/28)

So this past week was actually a fairly productive week for me. My sickness was pretty much gone (yes!), just a few sniffles here and there, so I was back on the grind with my iron game. Considering I didn't actually get back home until Monday afternoon, all of my lifts were pushed back a day, but it was all good. I could tell the week off really helped as well. I squatted Monday evening and throughout my entire lift I felt as strong as I have all year. I was hitting my weights easily even though I had jumped up 5-10 pounds for all my lifts from the previous two weeks. This trend continued with my bench workout on Tuesday.

Wednesday was a non-lifting day for me, and maybe it was because I had watched Rocky II the night before, but for some reason I really wanted to do a boxing workout. So that's what I did on Wednesday. 10 minutes of heavy bag work followed by 5 minutes on the speed bag and 5 minutes jumping rope. Then I did plate pushes in my basement for 15 minute as my finisher for the day.

Thursday was my deadlift and back day, and instead of taking the day off from lifting on Friday I did my military press workout. Just like on Monday and Tuesday, my heavy weights were moving well so it was a really good week in the beast room. Saturday was another off day from lifting, and after mixing it up on Wednesday I decided to mix it up again on Saturday. I began that workout with incline walks on a treadmill for 5 minutes as my warm-up, then moved on to a 22 minute TRX total-body circuit where I'd go 30 seconds on 30 seconds 0ff. It was the first time I had used the TRX in that capacity but I really enjoyed it. One thing I will say though is that while the workout felt pretty intense while I was doing it, afterwards I recovered very quickly and there was almost no soreness the next day. I don't know what this means exactly, but I just wanted to make note of it.

This past week I also uploaded 16 YouTube videos to my Exercise Index. This current week is going to be a busy one for me as I'll have to write at least one program and two articles (one for the site and one for The Source). I'll also need to start planning for SMS6, which will either start Sunday or Monday.

Well, that's all for last week. Now it's time to go live this one.

Get big or die tryin'.
