Well, we're back from our quick trip to Atlanta with a stop over on the way back at the MIL's.

Day 2 Strength Training - 7 Aug 2007

I took my TRX to Atlanta and did the Military Fitness Guide Day 2 Strength Training workout in the hotel room yesterday morning while Mrs. Egham was in her meeting.

(1 set each)
Exercise - specified reps (actual reps)
Suspended Incline Press - 10 (1)
Suspended Crunch/Pushup – 10 (7)
Single Leg Chest Press – 6,6 (6,6)
Elevated Back Row – 15 (15)
Single Arm Power Pull – 10,10 (10,10)
TRX Swimmer’s pull – 10 (10)
Y Deltoid Raise – 8 (8)
T Deltoid Fly - 8 (8)
Low Deltoid Fly – 8 (8)
Standing Back Extension – 12 (12)
Suspended Pendulum – 16 (16)
Suspended Oblique Crunch – 8,8 (8,7 w/ 4,3 on elbows)

Suspended incline shoulder presses are HARD! I expressed some doubt about even getting into the proper position to do these back when I first got my TRX and looked through the guide. LD responded that getting into position isn’t all that difficult, it’s the presses that are hard. My response to him was “I wonder if I can do 2?” Well, the answer is now in….It’s a clear “NO”. I only managed one and perhaps somewhat over a half of the second before collapsing. So, my goal is now to do 2……someday…

They also ruined my chances of completing the specified reps for the Suspended crunch/pushups. I also had to drop to my elbows to get as far as I did with the oblique crunches.

All in all, a good workout that left me drenched and out of breath. Fun!

--------
This morning, in the steambath that was Greenville, SC, I went out for an early run. 5.9 miles in 50:30 (8:34 / Mile)....I get real slow when conditions are like this.
