This morning we warmed up with some grappling drills then hats on for three rounds of burpees, squat to toes, pushups, side planks, planks and something else I don’t remember.

Then we did practice in soft kit.

I was still pretty sore from last week but i got through it, it wasn’t pretty.

Tomorrow we get in armor!

It’s a “Dominus” workout.
 

Wednesday I didn't get in due to other factors, but I got in Thursday night for the first de-load session.

Basically did all 6 of my current mainstay upper and back exercises in 45 minutes or so, as opposed to the usual 3-4 in an hour+, by doing them substantially lighter and not approaching failure. Three sets of each with no drop sets. My rest breaks were MUCH shorter.
  • Lat pulldowns 105x16, 105x16, 105x16
  • Smith inclined barbell bench 70x14, 70x14, 70x14
  • Machine biceps curl 50x20, 60x16, 60x16
  • Machine overhead press 35x16, 45x12, 45x12
  • Machine triceps extensions 47.5x20, 55x20, 65x25
  • Rear delt flies 60x12, 70x12, 70x12
It was definitely fun and much less of a slog, though of course part of me wants to push harder and get the "real" numbers. I figure I'll do 1-2 more sessions like this and then get back to progressive overload.
Saturday did pretty much the same. In theory, from most of the recommendations I've seen, the second de-load should be lighter than the first, but I kept it pretty even. Still quick and fun for the amount of sets.

  • Smith inclined barbell bench 70x14, 70x14, 70x14
  • Lat pulldowns 105x14, 105x16, 105x16
  • Machine biceps curl 50x20, 60x16, 60x16
  • Machine overhead press 35x16, 45x12, 45x14
  • Machine triceps extensions 50x25, 60x25, 65x20
  • Rear delt flies 70x12, 60x12, 70x12
