9 MAR: Lifting again
I can't follow a M-W-F whole body routine forever, but there is something nice and reassuring ab out the simplicity and repetitive nature of these workouts. I know I'm only 2 workouts in, so maybe I'll feel different after 2 months!!!
Warm-up: 5 minutes, 3.8 mph @ 5degree incline
Barbell complex:
A) SGHP: 60 x 6, 6, 6
B) Hang snatch 60 x 6, 6, 6
C) Thruster 60 x 6, 6, 6
D) Bent row 60 x 6, 6, 6
Strength work:

Strength work:
- FBGM: 65 x 12, 12, 12
- Leg press: 250 x 18, 18, 18
- Rope grip row: 75 x 12, 11, 11
- Neutral grip pulldown: 100 x 12; 110 x 12, 12
- Incline bench dumbbell press: 45 x 12, 12, 12, 9
The complexes are great. I can tell I'm adapting to it quickly, though. Next week I'll switch to a dumbbell complex that will involve a lot of unilateral work. These subtle changes will keep me interested and progressing on such a simple plan.
Meals:
- 8:00 AM: 4 eggs cooked in olive oil
- 11:00 AM: 2 bowls of homemade pasta salad (with lots of turkey sausage)
- 12:00 PM: Pre workout drink, 35 total calories, heavy on l-Arginine and l-Leucine
