5 JAN: complexes before strength - 2 thumbs up
WOW! I did a barbell complex before lifting. Freaking awesome. Got my heart rate up, my body loose, and just the tiniest bit of fatigue in my traps before the normal strength work. I ended up using just the bar, as I want to slowly adapt to the load and not sacrifice weight on my straight sets.
- Barbell complex:
a. bent row: 45 x 8, 8, 8
b. hang snatch: 45 x 8, 8, 8
c. thruster: 45 x 8, 8, 8
d. overhead squat: 45 x 8, 8, 8
e. drop lunge: 45 x 8, 8, 8 - chin-up ladders: 5 x 1-2-3 (30 reps total)
- bench press: 175 x 10, 10, 10
- squat: 245 x 10, 10, 10 (almost ate it on last rep of last set. back will pay the price next week)
- EZ-bar preacher curl: 75 x 12, 8
- leg raise off bench + toes to sky: 15, 15 (like doing top half of dragon fly)
