Friday 7/20 upper body training

My time was limited with the kids in tow. But this time I changed things around because I really want to re-incorporate direct arm training.

Dynamic warmup

Face pulls: -even reps paused
30 x 12
40 x 12
3 x 50 x 12

Straight arm pulldowns:
3 x 50 x 12

Bench press, 2-count pauses at liftoff, bottom, and at lockout on last rep before racking:
Bar x 5
75 x 5
75 x 5
100 x 5
116 x 5
127 x 3
138 x 3
3 x 149 x 3 - dropped from 151.5 so I could work more on technique and longer pauses
Had planned SlingShot work at 165-171 but skipped it to get in some extra arm work

Neutral grip pullups:
3 x BW+40 x 5

Dips:
3 x BW x 12

Incline DB curl:
3 x 15s x 10 with minimal rest between sets

Time was up, had to get the kids.

Kids had their champinship swim meet on Saturday so I moved my training to Sunday. That’s the end of summer swimming so after today my heavy squats/deads day can finally move back to Saturdays!

95 x 5

Sumo deads:

155 x 1
175 x 1
195 x 1
6 x 208 x 1 - with a little over 60 sec between pulls. A little pain but not horrible

That was it. Had to head back to the family and playing supermom.

I am on vacation in the south. Missed the training. Unfortunately there is no way to fully exercise

Hey people. Been crazy over here. In addition to the usual family circus...

1. Hubby has another possible job opportunity in North Carolina and I’m scrambling to get the house ready to list, just in case we have to move quickly- schools are starting in a couple of weeks yikes!!
2. A couple days ago my 9-yo daughter had what appeared to be an abcessed tooth, emergency trip to the dentist. Turned out to just be an ulcer and she’ll be fine
3. Just moments ago as I was STARTING my training, the same 9-yo took a tumble on the pool deck and chipped her front tooth. I’ll be taking her for yet ANOTHER emergency dentist visit in an hour.

SO MUCH FOR TRAINING FOR MY MEET!!!! GRRRRRR

How is your daughter?! I hope the chip can be repaired quickly and expertly!

Congratulations on the job opportunity! And I hope things turn out for the very best there, too.
