Lat/chest stretching - 30 seconds each

Front squat - 45 x, 95 x 4, 135 x 10, 135 x 10, 135 x 10
(Superset with full rest - 45 seconds)
Alternating DB Curl - 35 x 10, 35 x 10, 35 x 10
(Superset with full rest - 45 seconds)
Supine hip extension w/ leg curl - 10, 10, 10

Hammer Lunge - Front - 10/L x 20 steps, 10/R x 20, 10 x 20
(Superset with full rest - 45 seconds)
Knees to Elbows - 10, 10, 10

Sprints at the track - 8 x ~50m
8.68, 8.45, 8.56, 8.18, 8.00, 8.25, 8.43, 7.96

Notes:
-Reach, Rock and Lift - ROM is getting a better.
-YTWL- Upped the weight and it was a struggle to finish the last few reps on W and L, shoulders were burning hard at this point.
-push-up plus - wrist pain is decreasing from the various stretches I got from Greg.
-Front squat - So glad I didn't up the weight like I originally intended, that 15 seconds less of rest catches up with you quickly!
-DB Curl - Decent weight, threw these here rather than at the end.
-Supine Hip extensions w/ leg curl- 1st set easy, last 2 sets after front squats not so easy
-Hammer lunge - Front - OH out of all 3 variations seems to be the hardest.
-Knees to Elbows - I was spent but I did better this time than last time.
-Sprints - 8 of ~50m - I say ~50m because apparently the new track they built at the AFB has not distance marks on the lanes. I did a pace count to get 50m since on a flat surface 100m ~= 66 paces. This wasn't too bad exertion wise but I am so SLOW!!!! I wanted to scream whenever I would finish. UGHHH!! My best time for 50m's is 7.96????

Notes:
-Reach, Rock and Lift - Still an asskicker but my ROM is getting a better.
DB External Rotation - 12.5 is too heavy, should go back down.
-YTWL- Struggle to finish the last few reps on W and L, shoulders were burning hard at this point.
-pushup plus - unless I can find a way to alleviate the wrist pain I may have to find something else to sub for this.
-Front squat - Not too bad of a weight but still an ass kicker at 12 reps.
-Supine Hip extensions w/ leg curl- 1st set easy, last 2 sets after front squats not so easy
-Hammer lunge - OH - Alternating arms halfway through seems to be a better idea than doing one arm all the way
-Knees to Elbows - I was spent.
-DB curls - I'm going to start throwing these back in at the end of my workouts, I was actually impressed that I hadn't curled in more than 2 years and I was still able to work close to what I used to do on a BB'ing split.

March 15, 2007
This week has felt like one huge slump for me, I know I should hit the track/road I just don't feel like freaking doing it by the time I get home. I'd rather take the kids to the park and enjoy the weather rather than go torture myself with a run.

March 14, 2007
-Went to the park with the kids for 45 min.
-Interval Run - 2.41 min run/1.58 min walk, 17.7 sec sprint/41.60 sec walk, 13.57 sec sprint/55.57 sec walk, 17.83 sec sprint/1.12min, 16.87 sec sprint, 2.45 min walk.

March 13, 2007
Went to the park with the kids for an hour, I SUCK at throwing a spiral, I'll be able to get a good throw in once every 20 throws and be unable to duplicate that, this is something I really want to work on.
Juggling - 5 minutes w/ 2 balls

Notes:
-Must get better at throwing that stupid football
-Need to review the juggling video some more the 3rd ball is throwing me off bigtime.

(Superset with full rest - 60 seconds)
V-Ups - 12, 12, 12

Barbell Complex:
OHS
RDL
FS
High bar squat
Low bar squat

45 x 6 reps, 95 x 6 reps

Notes:
-Reach, Rock and Lift - Looked easy on paper but these kicked my ass, it was a struggle to do the Lift portion with my palm facing up. My left shoulder was definitely making some weird noises on the "lift" part. No pain, almost like a popping sound?
-YTWL- Struggle to finish the last few reps on W and L, shoulders were burning hard at this point.
-Snatch Grip Deadlift - Started out on a box but after the first working set I went down in weight and did them off the ground since the 25# plates are smaller than the 45#'s.
-Cable Pull Throughs - I've never done these before and wanted to replace Romanian Deadlifts sine I've been doing those the last few months. I think maybe I was doing them wrong because my the end my lower back was burning, or perhaps pairing them with SGDL's weren't the best idea.
-Lunge w/ stepup - Was originally planning on Barbell Bulgarian Split squats but someone grabbed the rack so I subbed these in.
-V-ups - Ouch
-Barbell Complex - I thought I made good time through my workout so I threw in a complex, I didn't realize that I didn't set my watch forward! I was actually over time!

March 9 - 13 2007
Rest - Life got in the way, tried to fit in foam rolling and tennis ball stuff when I could.
