Strength Training - 11/15/08
A DB Power Clean and Press - 3x5@45
B Chin-ups - 3x5
C Smith Machine Split Squat - 3x5@65
D Circuitx2
D1 Push-ups AMRAP
D2 DB Row (L) 1x15@45
D3 Push-ups AMRAP
D4 DB Row (R) 1@15@45
A DB Power Clean and Press - An oldie but a goodie - left side was worse than right but I am hoping I can address this while training.
B Chin-ups - No idea what the assist was here but it was pretty low as I was struggling to make 3, let alone 5.
C Smith Machine Split Squat - For some reason Tim had me do this using the bar in the Smith Machine. Technique was a bitch for the first set, but by the 2nd I had managed to do ok, and the third I did well with.
D Circuit - This is a popular tool in Tim's arsenal - combining push-ups and rows in various interesting and uncomfortable ways.
Overall - Hard as it is to believe, this is going to be my new workout when I don't train with Tim. I'm happy to see that he has me working on strength AND that this is a much shorter workout than the previous one. (It seems Tim has been doing some looking at short and sweet workouts - I'm hoping this is a trend that continues.) I hope I make some good gains with it.
