Free Time Before Our Meeting

I had some free time after class and before our meeting last night so I went for a run.

Roughly 2miles at around 16mins

I was hoping to do more, but I felt like ass so I stopped (my legs and lower back were sore from a sick squat/deadlift workout from the day before). I decided to not completely give up, so I jumped some rope for about 15mins.


100 jumps (break)
75 jumps (break)
65 jumps (etc)
50 jumps
40 jumps
~10 single leg

I missed the gym

I was looking forward to actually doing squats with WEIGHT
Tabata squats over break helped I think, 130 wasn't that hard

(After Warmup)
squats
40, 60, 80, x 8
3x5 @ 110
2x5 @ 130

In between sets, 5 pullups each time so.. 40 pullups

OHP
40, 45, 55, 60
3x5 @ 65
2x5 @ 70

Bodyweight dips (I think these are worse than pullups)

9,8,7

Not strong enough...yet

12 pullups
Bent-over rows: 8 at 45, 55, 65, 85lb
Hang clean to push press: 6 at 85, 3x6 at 95lb

30 minutes throwing in the squash court, focusing on accuracy at different speeds. We didn't have enough to play ultisquash this time.

Medicine Ball Circuit

With a 5kg medicine ball,

3 rounds:
(20 med ball squats,
20 pushups,
20 med ball alternating chops)

full recovery

3 rounds:
(20 med ball catch, crunch + toss,
20 med ball backhands,
20 med ball forehands,
1:00 rest)

Rest for the first 3 rounds was that Frenchy and I alternated at the end of each round. I did my pushups on the medicine ball for the first round. We timed the first three rounds, and my times were 1:53, 1:28, 1:31 (so those were Frenchy's rest times, mine were around the same). Medicine Ball Backhands/Forehands were just a lunge out to the proper side, and a double-hand throw across the body for backhand or what was basically a shot-put throw for forehand. Maybe they don't mimic the motion very well, but we figured it could increase power through hip rotation in the lunge position, and that can't be bad. The first three rounds were significantly harder than the last three, for me.
