Today's Training Session: Strength Training

  Today, up in Nantucket with my lovely wife, we had a chance to train at the Great Harbor Yacht Club which is a surprisingly good training facility.
  Unlike a lot of these resort and hotel facilities who have tons of cardio equipment and strength training is an after thought this facility had some nice gear including a squat rack, Landmine trainer, functional cable unit as well as some med balls, plyo boxes and the like.
  In other words, more than sufficient for a good training session.
    Don't know why but today I had the urge to do barbell squats which I usually approach with caution due to the risk/reward re: potential low back injury. I haven't done barbell back squats in months but I warmed up thoroughly and proceeded with caution. Here's what the entire training session looked like:

Back squat: 1 x 5 @ 45, 1 x 5 @ 95, 1 x 5 @ 135, 1 x 4@ 185, 1 x 4 @ 205, 1 x 3 @ 225, 1 x 3 @ 255;
   The squats were supersetted with weighted chins: 5 x 5 @ 45 lbs.

TRX suspended pushups(ft. in stirrups): 4 x 25 supersetted with Landmine 1/2 moons 4 x 12

Landmine 1 leg RDLs 4 x 5 @ 60 lbs. supersetted with Box jumps: 4 x 5
45 degree back raises: 4 x 8 @ 45 lbs.
Ab Dolly rollouts: 4 x 10

   So following my basic training program template I got in a squatting pattern, a deadlift (hip hinge) pattern, an upper body push and upper body pull as well as 2 trunk/core exercises and a power movement.
   Good session esp. considering I am on "vacation."

Train hard and train smart!
