Incline Sprints - 10 sprints, 11 mintues
New addition to the gym, and I walked by, like, 5 times today before I noticed it:
A monolift, for God's sake! I doubt I will ever use this unless all the squat stands and power racks are occupied.
Speaking of which Squats felt okay today.
Deads, however, felt awesome. I know 135 is light, but it never felt as light as today. It felt like nothing at all, and I'm wondering if that's partially due to the squatting beforehand. It felt so light, that's why I decided to jump straight to 225 for just one more warm-up set. That felt fast as well. Then the first work-set felt heavy, and all the others felt pretty easy. Not light, exactly, but I was still able to focus on speed and form because I had full confidence in my ability to pull the weight. This is different from how my heavy sets of the other 3 movements have felt, but it could just have been a good day. We'll see how it goes next time.
Sprints were interesting. I got the programmed amount in, but it took a little more effort than I expected. The idea is that the first week or two are relatively easy, and I hope I haven't programmed my jumps to big. On the other hand, it was spring forward, and I was on less than 6 hours of sleep. We'll just have to see how it goes next week.
Did some reverse curls as my biceps work for this day (trying to bring this area up while maintaining everything else on this phase). I noticed that this grip, in addition to being overhand, is also about the same width as my deadlift grip. I highly doubt there's much chance of a carryover effect there, but it still felt nicely synergistic.
Also, I'm still doing reverse crunches and partial planche push-ups most days.
