OPT Training Day 15

I found it fairly difficult to wake up this morning, don't know why since I had such a reasonable sleep, but I just didn't want to get out of bed. Once up things went well though and I felt well rested, yesterdays rest day was a good one.

Today is the second cycle of Day 11 so with deadlifts and shoulder presses in mind I did a good warm-up of:

800m run
30 push-ups
50 x 55# KBS
30 dips
50 x 45# thrusters
30 kipping pull-ups

Day 15:
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 - 25 unbroken x 5 sets; rest 120 sec
C. DB External Rotation - 4-7/arm x 3 sets; rest 45 sec b/t arms

Previous:
a1. 325x3, 345x3, 365x3, 385, 385, 385, 385, 385.
b1. 135, 135, 145, 155, 165 failed on 4/5 rep.
b2. 50, 53, 60, 55, 63 reps
subbed max double unders in a minute due to aggravated tendon in left elbow. KB Swings is what kills it.
c. 10, 10, 10

Today's Results:
a 365(3), 375(3), 385(3), 405, 415, 425 - Felt good, its been a long time since I've gone this heavy.

b1. 155, 155, 165, 165, 165(4) - Missed the last rep on the last set otherwise I was surprised how I managed to get my head around the bar and press through.

b2. 78# for all 5 sets - I really like the look of how Brent did his sets above. I love the mind game!

c. 20(7), 20(7), 220(7) - not my fav.
Had a great idea for a recipe while in the basement gym, butternut squash cakes. I'll let you know how they turn out.
