Summary

This week I have been less than diligent about blogging, but that doesn't mean I haven't been training. I just haven't wanted to take the time to write everything out; this has left me time to think and pray, which I have been doing a lot of lately. But here's a summary of Thursday through Saturday:

• Thursday: 30-minute run on the trails behind Brentwood Y (4 miles), Inversion
  
• Push up on knees: 5 on, 5 off thru 20
• Visualize recovery for 10–15 seconds (Breathe correctly and visualize blood flowing from heart to lats & pecs and glutes & hips.)
• Plate front delt raise: 30 quick style (standing, holding a 5–10-lb plate at 10 and 2, raising from just above thighs to eye-level)
• Repeat all the above 5 times
• 1-leg squat: 5 on, 5 off thru 20
• Visualize recovery for 10–15 seconds (Be creative!)
• Glute ham: 1 rep every 5 seconds for 1:30; start up at arm’s length and go down then up
• Repeat all the above 5 times 
• The glute ham set was especially hard, and I split the two up, completing arms at lunch and run/legs in the afternoon.

• Friday: 1-hour ride on the trainer at night (because I spent the afternoon with Anna!). Note to self: It is too dark by 6:15 to be out on the road then!
  

• Saturday 300 swim in the morning, then the following with Will in the afternoon:
  
• 10-6-3 EDI (slow 10-count, 10 reps, slow 10-count, 6 reps, slow 10-count, 3 reps; think manual holds)
• Body-weight squat
• Glute ham to arm’s length with violent stops
• Bench press with light bar
• Plate front delt raise with 5–10-lb plate: iso at bottom (Thrust chest up and squeeze glutes; don’t relax at all, especially glutes and hamstrings!)
• Push up on knees
