531 Upper & The 'C' Word

"Stupid Human Tricks"
Tuesday August 24

On a beautiful summer's eve, I took to the Dam hill and since I only ran the bottom half, did it ten times.

Wednesday August 25

Rollin' and Tumblin' (by Johnny Winter?) aka foam roller and mobility work
Sleddin' 6x30 yds 3/3 with 115
Benchpress work up to 320x1 then 255x3 and 5
Suspended pushups (on bar) w/ feet up 100 reps several sets
Low cable rows w/ V-bar 5x10/ 185, 210, 235, 260, 285
DB shrugs 5x15/ 120
Landmines 3x5 each side
Band pushdowns 100 reps (purple band)

And I engaged in a lively debate with Cosmo as to whether one had an increased risk of keeling over dead from endurance events as opposed to lifting very heavy weights. We found studies on folks dropping dead during and post endurance events from heart problems but the leading cause of weightlifting related deaths seemed to be from aysphixiation. From choking to death. From a barbell laying across one's throat. Take that Monkey Boy!
The 'C' word is conditioning,
Stay strong,
