'Recovery' Swim
800 meters total
I'm having a good DOMS after yesterday's workout in the gym.  The swim was relaxed; trying to focus on form (mine continues to suck).

Are you doing any form drills? I firmly believe even without someone watching me that they have helped me intensly even if it's just allowing me to think about a certain aspect for a few lengths.

Funny, earlier today in E's log, I mentioned that I probably ought to do drills even though my pool is non-standard and I don't like drills.

Yeah I read that in E's right after I posted this
Do you know how long your pool length is? You could do the drills and just not do as many lengths (Obviously)

The pool is 200m long but I already have visual markers for my 50m intervals, so it wouldn't be that difficult. I'll do it Og...keep pestering me about it too!

How did those drills go today? 
Couldn't resist!
Just look at the positives, with a 200m you don't need to turn around as much!

Nice... incorporating the 1-1/4 technique into your bench. Good stuff!

Sorry, I should have given you credit Milk! I knew I wasn't ready to try the 50lb. DBs quite yet and that's the next weight up in the gym so...thinkin' about your 1-1/4 squats gave me the idea to see if the extra push would kick it up a notch. And it worked! |

No credit necessary. I didn't come up with it... I think Rookie introduced me to it over at MH.

Bike
Distance: ~12 miles
Time: ~60 minutes
Just a leisurely ride with a few small hills. I felt really good and the knee was no problem. Friday, the knee felt fine and I forgot about it until I stepped briskly down some stairs!  I'm still not going to be able to run for awhile.
HGM for lunch.

Go Fin!
Nice progress dude, don't worry about a couple of wimpy exercises, it just means you worked extra hard in the others!

Random Workout #3
Still giving my knee extra time between HGM Phase I workouts with all the squats and lunges. I'm really missing those lifts and want to get back after them. May test some regular squats on Friday and see how it goes.
Today's workout felt good...mostly upper body stuff. My legs have gotten some good work this week between Sunday's long bike ride and yesterday's intervals. And, the cycling doesn't bother the knee at all. (I miss running too. )
Main Lift
Bench Press
1x10x115
1x8x125
1x5x135
(really should have done another set at 135!)
Superset 1
Military Press
3x10x60
Bent-Over Rows
3x8x135
Superset 2
Barbell Curls
3x10x50
Calf Raises
3x15 (w/ 60 lb. barbell)
Dips
3x6xBW
...that's all folks.

Quick Swim
800 meters total
Focused on form and pushed hard the second 400m - best time for 400m in awhile (NOT a PR!), but slower than I was hoping.
HGM for lunch.
