Today was a HIC session. I ran short hills and completed this 15 times. I nearly died but I got it done.

Week #4 Base Building- Day 45
Yesterday was an endurance session. I rucked for about 2 hours with 45lb ruck. I ran into some pretty good hills on this march and I felt it in my legs, but I also felt like I was on auto pilot. I guess the best way to describe it was that although I was out of my comfort zone I felt like I could continue...almost like I just settled into a groove and kept going.
All in all it was a good way to clear my head and get the workout I needed. I am looking forward to todays day of rest.

Week #4 Base Building- Day 47
Again sorry about the delay fellas...this log is a few days behind...
Monday was a max strength day. I did the following:
BP-235lbs -5x5
OHP-125lbs- 5x5
SQ- 200lbs- 5x5
I had little to eat a few hours before so I think that my lifting suffered...I had to back off the bench press and drop it down to 230 because I was struggling on rep#3 on set# 4. Overall I felt okay but will try and eat a good source of energy before my workout. I did this workout after I got off of my shift at around 7:30 this morning...I was gassed but pushed through it..the breaks helped..

Week #4 Base Building- Day 48
Today was short hills again. What a smoker...I feel better on the sprints ..its not till after the workout is complete do I start feeling the smoke...don't get me wrong during the sprints I am huffing and puffing but once the workout is over it feels like my body starts to catch up to what just happened...all in all a good workout..
Tomorrow is a rest day and I'm ready for it...

Re: Briancsnv- Training Log
Today was my first day of the Operator Block. My cluster consisted of the following:
using 70 percent of my 1 rep max, this was the workout:
Operator- Day#1
BP- 179lbs @5x5
OHP- 95lbs@5x5
SQ-151lbs@ 5x5
I felt good through the workout and took 2 minute breaks between sets.
On a side note this morning I had a unit PT this morning after work. We had to complete a 2000 meter row as fast as we could. I started strong and gassed out on the last 500 meters. I finished the 2000 meter row in 7:45...but what I noticed was that although I was gassed once the row was over I was able to recover much more quicker than previous tests..normally I would lay on the ground and catch my breath but after this test I just got off of the rower and walked around a bit...I wasn't totally destroyed...i'm sure the base building block I just finished helped some...

Operator Day#2
Today was HIC and I am sticking with hill sprints. Today I did 15 sprints up a short hill and jogged on the way down. It was a butt kicker.

Operator Day#3
BP- 179lbs @5x5
OHP- 95lbs@5x5
SQ-151lbs@ 5x5
I warmed up before hand with a light 10 minute jog. I was still feeling the effects of the day before's short hills so I had to spend a little more time warming up than usual. All in all it was still a good workout.

Operator Day #4
yesterday was short hills again. Man these hills kick my butt however I think I'm seeing more improvement to my cardio so I'm opting to stick with hills sprints a little longer. it was a good workout but still a smoker.
