OPT Training Day 11

Felt really good today despite Leslie having a stomach flu and helping her with it throughout the night. It was pretty nasty with lots of puking and no sleep, I wonder if i'll get it? I seem to think that because of all the exercise, vitamins & minerals and all the outside germs/bacteria that I'm exposed to my immune system is up to the challenge.

Day 11 Training:

A. Dead Lift - build to a heavy triple quickly; rest and then take no more than 3 more sets to build to a heavy but not 1RM; rest as needed b/t 1's
B1. Press Cluster - 1.1.1.1.1 x 5; rest 120 sec
B2. KBS - 21 unbroken x 5 sets; rest 120 sec
C. DB External Rotation - 4-7/arm x 3 sets; rest 45 sec b/t arms
My addtions to Day 11:
d1. Good mornings - 2020, 10-12r x 3sets; rest 600 sec b/t
d2. Rotator Cuff Rotations - 2020, 18-20r x 3sets; rest 60 sec b/t


Results:

a. 325x3, 345x3, 365x3, 385, 385, 385, 385, 385

Deadlift was strong and I could have easily gone up another 45lbs but I don't have the weight to throw on the bar. Everybody on the OPT site was doing only 3 sets of the 1 rep-almost max. I wonder why?

b1. 135, 135, 145, 155, 165 (failed on rep 4/5)

Press was good, finished off the last 2 reps of set 5 with push presses otherwise all were shoulder presses.

b2. 50, 53, 60, 55, 63 reps

Subbed max double unders in a minute instead of the KB swings. Elbow does much better with these.

c. 10, 10, 10

Just can't seem to get anything useful out of these. I have to figure out proper technique and get a dumbell/bench I can actually use.

d1. 115/115/115

Good tempo, noticed a muscle twinging in my glute....

d2. 20/20/20

Used the red band.

Tomorrow's post is already up on the OPT site and I notice that there's going to be more double unders tomorrow. I thought that might happen.......
