Despite the extremely nice weather I went inside to the gym and did some strength training today.
Warmup: Quad rocks, lower body rolling, Cross crawls, ankle mobs, Indian clubs, neck mobs, lateral squats, squat Iso holds
Workout: Squat to low box (12")-1 x 6 @ 95, 1 x 6 @ 135, 1 x 5 @ 175, 1 x 4 @ 195 supersetted w/Landmine 1/2 Moons 3 x 12 @ 45 w/narrow handle
Hex Bar RDLs 4 x 6 @ 195 supersetted w/weighted chins 4 x 6 @ 40 lbs.
Elevated pushups w/weight suspended from hips: 3 x 10 @ 40 lbs.
KB swings: 6 x 12 @ 32 kg. (on the minute)
KB suitcase carries: 2 x 35 meters @ 32 kg.
Comments: Good session. Good ROM on squats...likely will never go truly heavy on these again but "greasing the groove" and using them as much for mobility work is still good.
The risk reward is just not worth it for me anymore at my age. I am not a competitive powerlifter but use strength training as a means to an end...decrease chance of injury in my sports and improve/maintain performance. Like the suitcase carries as a complementary exercise to the Farmer's walks.
Train hard and train smart!
