Another fun day in the gym. For the first time since my illness I squatted with a barbell. A whopping 20lb one, but a barbell none the less!
Lil Bear:
Squat: 85 5x5 STRONG!!!!
Bench: 55, 5x5 - She's back in the game, shoulder was fine
Row: 75, 5x5
Dips: 5, 3, 4 - not getting to parallel. Bad girl!
Me:
Squat: 20, 3x5. I am teh lift master!
Bench: 115, 5x5 Easy as a breeze. I think I have form and breathing nice and tight.
Row: 115, 5x5 Still strong. Hitting the chest on every rep.
Dips: 4, 5, 2 - Form fix. Now elbows above shoulders on every grinding shitty rep.
Afterward we introduced some aerobic work in the back yard - fun with sandbags.
2 minutes of log relay (running with logs) for warm up.
1 minute of sandbag shoulders (her 30lb bag, me 50lb bag)
1 minute of sandbag over head toss (both with 30lb)
2 minutes of sandbag relay (she did 2 trips with 30lb, 1 trip with 50lb, 1 trip with 70lb - EPIC lift, like a pocket sized strongman competitor doing an atlas stone. I did 2 trips with 30lb, 2 with 50lb and one with 70lb)
2 minutes of "Collapsed onto grass wheezing" as warm down.
We'll be doing this 3x per week after lifting - increasing by 30 seconds every time.
