Did a lot of rock and mountain climbing over the week in Colorado but no organized workouts. I was back on the farm yesterday and did this:
Bench:
190 x 8
220 x 5
235 x 3
260 x 1
260 x 1
260 x 1
220 x 5 (had to break up)
Bench was just not there. I had 2 and a half hours sleep the day before and a 12 hour car ride and I think I was just drained. I was supposed to do 270 x 1 for the power matrix and I just knew I did not have it. I never have trouble with the last set and I even had to break it up.
Added 65lb dumb bell press sets of 10 but with a twist. First set, back was level each set I moved the bench up a click until I was sitting up right on the last set. It took five sets.
Finished with 7 107yard sprints all out sprints with 90 seconds recovery. 4 down hill and three up.
I thought I was running about 60 to 80 yards but after I was done I stepped it off and it was at least 107. Got my heart way up but kept loosing it and never got a good count.

Summer Workouts "Back on the Wagon" Day 15
Been on the road since Friday visiting family in Iowa and have not worked out in five days. We just made it to the farm and I went to the barn to pump a little iron
Bench
190 x 8
220 x 5
235 x 3
270 x 1
270 x 1
270 fail (my brother helped me on my right, my slow, side.) I don't think I could have got it but I don't know for sure)
220 x 5
I am a far way from dominating the weight for this power matrix set but this is better than last week.
We have a really nice bar that is curled so much that the weight can be level but the lifter's thumbs are up with the fingers point in. I put 35lbs on each side and did the following:
10 tri. bar pull-ups + 5 shoulder press =15 reps without putting the bar down. I did this a total of three or four times until my tries were fried.
I then went and jumped on the trampoline with the kids and did a few flips to get my heart rate up and finished with 150 burpees A.F.A.P. Finished in 11:30. My arms were fried and that slowed me down. Actually, I was not huffing and puffing that bad when it was over. My heart rate was about 160 40 seconds after I finished. I just hit mussel failure before I was done.
