Today's Training Session: Total Body Strength Training

Today was the 7th day of the 40 in 40 program covered in the book, Easy Strength. My goal is to train 40 days in the next 40 days. In my 45+ years of training I don't believe I've ever trained this many days consecutively.

Warmup: Ankle mobs, wall slides, Indian clubs, Leg swings, lateral squats, "No Moneys"

Workout: Bench pushups-ft. elevated: 2 x 6; 1 leg RDL 2 x 5 @ 30 lbs; Eccentric chins 2 x 5; Squat on balance boards 2 x 6 @ 30 lbs; Snatch grip high pulls 3 x 3 @ 135; rollouts 2 x 10

Comments: Essentially more "core" exercises are a deadlift/hip hinge, a squatting pattern, a horizontal push (pushup, incline Db chest press), a pull (chins/rows),an explosive movement (swings/O-lift variations) and a trunk exercise.
Sets are low (2-3) and reps are usually in 3-6 range. The idea is not to go anywhere near max loads/efforts but to continually be Greasing the Groove (GTG). We will see how it goes.

Train hard and train smart!
