2.5 hour hike this am. May try to do a fitness class tomorrow if my legs and back from yesterday’s workout aren’t sore. Or just take the whole day off.

Krypteia Cycle 2 Week 3
Squat - 3 Warm Up Sets
Squat 5s Pro- 230# (75%) x5, 260# (85%) x5, 290# (95%) x5
Squat BBB- 165# 5x10

Odd set super set- Ring Rows x14

Cut back on accessory work today since the weight was going to be heavy and I didn’t hit all my reps on my first run through of this 3 weeks ago. Crushed the heavy squats today so that felt really good.

This afternoon :

-15 minute elliptical warmup
-4 sets push-ups, reps of 20, 18, 15 and 20
-crunches, in between push-up sets: 3 sets between 50 & 70 reps each
-Incline bench: 2 sets of 115 pounds for 12 & 10 reps, 1 set 135 pounds for 8 reps
-machine flys: 70lbs, 2 sets of 10 and 80 lbs 1 set of
-Tricep rope pull down and overheads: 3 sets of 10 each way 60, 70 & 80lbs

Took it a little easy on the weight cause I felt some slight irritation in my left arm around the elbow. It actually went away pretty quick but this is only my third week lifting again and I don’t want to risk an injury. Will make up for it later this week with push-ups during my work day and probably dips on shoulder day.

Tonight:

Deadlifts: 315 4x6
Bench: 135x8 155x6 185 2x4 210 2x3
Incline Bench: 175 3x4

Still was tired from my squats yesterday, so I took it easy on deadlifts. Bench is feeling really good right now. Benching 3x a week is paying off.
