Half marathon last weekend, came in at 1:21:high, better than a minute ahead of my A-goal. Super jazzed about that, and pumped for my chances at breaking 3:00:00 in the full come November. (Oddly enough, on long race efforts, my triceps are one of the sorest parts of me, not my legs. Probably should work on that).

Ankle was sore when I got out of bed this morning, but its loosened up.

Friday Upper however was the order of the day, and man I smashed it. Everything was good, got in every exercise I wanted, numbers up across the board. Hour and a half as well, just solid stuff. Incline bench brothers, dont sleep on it.

The shoulder has finally mended and is usable as we go into Q4.

Burhurt we did a warmup short run in helmets then ladders in helmets.

Then did Wimhoff breathing to help with lung capacity.

Then foot drills.

Then 3 rounds of 60 seconds each of burpees, leg flutters, lunges, bridges, planks, jumping squats, rest.

Maybe not in that order and I think I’ve forgotten an exercise.

Going to play Breath of the Wild wearing my helmet as prescribed by our armorer.

Strength workout tonight.

Friday night I did get back for three rounds of machine triceps extensions (with drop sets), three of face pulls (pushing weight up a bit and drop setting the last set), and three of leg extensions (pushing weight up from last time I did them).

Sunday was super busy but I snuck in for a quick 30-ish minute session. Three sets of machine pec flies with a drop set on the last one, three of dumbbell inclined curls with drop sets, and two hard sets of machine triceps extensions (more reps, pushing weight a little, and drop set on the second).

Still sluggish in the mornings and neglecting my lower/core morning exercises but I intend to bring those back.

Nice! Are you using a spotter? A rack with a catch? How close to failure are you getting?

I'd typically open my Saturday workout with bench, but I've never consistently had a spotter so I always ended up leaving a rep or two in the tank.

I've recently switched over to the smith machine for benching and am enjoying it so far.

The rack yeah, and not to failure. I'm not doing much to failure these days, trying to conserve the joints and tendons.

In fact that's my latest pondering. My elbows, just putting them on a table after my upper body workouts, hurt. Really sensitive.

I don't know what to do about that lol
