Today's Training Session: Total Body Strength Training

Today was the 38th session of the 40 in 40 program. Hard to believe it is almost done. I will be interested in the testing results next week.

Warmup: Tabletop hamstring, ankle mobs, forearm wall slides, Indian clubs, tabletop hip rotators, low box hip flexor, open hip t-spine rotation, 1/2 kneeling adductor

Workout: BB RDL 3 x 3 @ 195; face pulls 2 x 12 @ 55; Incline DB bench 2 x 6 @ 80; Pistol to bench 2 x 6 w/15 lb. med ball; 1 arm DB row 3 x 3 @ 95

Comments: Working on stability in the pistols as I would love to eventually get to full ROM pistol w/o resistance by end of spring. Patience will prevail.

Earlier in day: dynamic warmup; then 10 x 60 meters sprints on the turf w/walk back for recovery

Today's Training Session: Total Body Strength Training

Today was another one of those quick, though not hasty, training sessions as my schedule has been jammed with the final touches on our new expansion and other things in life going on.

Warmup: Indian clubs, Ankle mobs, forearm wall slides, open hip adductor, open hip t-spine rotation, low box hip flexor
Workout: Ring pullups 2 x 6; KB swings 2 x 6 @ 40 kg; KB Farmers carries 2 x 70 yds. @ 32 kg.; Band resisted pushups w/ft. elevated 2 x 6 @ 1" band; RFESS 2 x 6 @ 50 lbs.

Comments: Again, simple, short, sweet. During this 40 in 40 program none of my training sessions have exceeded 60 minutes even with warmup and power work. Many have been around 30-35 minutes which is one of the secrets to recovering so well on this program I believe.
