eventful

Had a wonderful afternoon. After my stomach went south I had a very panicky drive home and spent the time going between the bedroom and bathroom, getting a few minutes of feverish sleep between trips. Not sure what brought that on but I guess I can look forward to the scale tomorrow morning at the gym. Should be a few pounds lighter.

Feel too shaky to concentrate enough to get much done, but reading this article has my brain spinning. My subconscious always seems to perk up when I lack the capacity to do anything about it. Where are these ideas when I’m well rested and ready to work?

pre-mb: ladder set

Beat myself up to a good near-vomit this morning doing a ladder workout with front-squats and barbell presses. Ladder workouts are good for slowly moving volume b/w multiple lifts. I allowed 30s rest b/w sets for the first half and 60s rest for the second half. I was hobbling like an old man after the ladder set and could barely walk after the strip set of leg extensions.

front-squat: 95×1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9
barbell press: 95×9 | 8 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1

leg ext: 90×20, 80×15, 70×12 (strip set)
seated calf-raises: 75×20, 75×12
