Today's Training Session: Strength Work

2nd day in the deload week so the "core" movement was the incline DB chest press. These deload weeks are sometimes as challenging as any other at least in a psychological sense!

Warmup: Foam roller shoulder mobs, ankle mobs, wall slides, sidelying t-spine rotation, low box hip flexor, 1/2 kneeling adductor, Indian clubs

Workout: DB Incline Chest Press: 3 x 5 @ 40, 50, 55; Face Pulls 3 x 12 @ 62.5; Smith machine inverted rows 3 x 12 supersetted w/rollouts 3 x 10; "1 arm" pushup on med ball 2 x 6 Ea.
KB Farmers carries 2 x 70 yds. @ 32 kg.

Comments: For many seasoned athletes these deload weeks seem almost irrelevant but they are the key to recovery and allow the supercompensation effect to take place. You should embrace them instead!

Train hard and train smart!
