Re: Nick's Log
Ran 3 miles in my neighborhood. 27:28. Felt good.
Bought a new squat rack yesterday. Very excited. Not sure what to do with my old DIY squat stands I've been using since 2010.
I'm toying with the idea of putting them outside as the start of some kind of Richard Marcinko Rogue Manor outdoor prison weight pile.

Zulu 6.3
Today went poorly, missed a bunch of lifts.
It's been about a week since I last lifted, due to various work and family stuff. First day back in my garage gym in a couple months; working out in air-conditioned gyms is making me soft!
WPU, BW +45lbs => sets were 2, 2, 2, 2, 1
OHP, was supposed to do 160lbs, couldn't get it. Dropped to 145lbs=> sets were 2, 3, 3, 3, 2
Dead, 345lbs, sets of 1, 2, 1, 1, 1
Did three sets of abs between exercises, 12 ab wheel rollouts, 1 min of planks.

Re: Nick's Log
Crazy last couple of days with work and family.
Friday: finished out my Zulu Cycle. Only got 1 rep on my last set (of 5 sets) for WPU (Bw + 45lbs) and bench (240lbs). Squat (5 sets x 2 reps for 270lbs) felt great.
Saturday-Monday: no workouts, resting up for the APFT
Yesterday: APFT
Pushups: 67
Situps: 64
2 mile: 15:45
Not really happy with my run time, going to work on that during this next block. I'm not happy with the pu/su either, I just know I can fix those easier with some tweaks to my lifting plan.
Today: 3 miles, 27:47, easy pace
Looking forward to starting my next block of zulu.

Re: Nick's Log
Yesterday morning:
Ran 3 miles, 28.04 min
Work has been getting crazier and I can't count on that lunchtime lifting session anymore. I missed several lifting sessions this last week. So, instead of cardio in the morning and lunchtime lifting, I'm going to have to alternate cardio-lifting in the am. This also means, assuming I do 3 days of cardio (2× HIC, 1x LSS), I will need yo double up one day of cardio and lifting, probably on Saturday. Ugh.
