Deads, Pullups, and MV02

After giving my arm a rest for the last couple of days, it feels back to normal. I went to the gym to do my deads and pullups, and then came home to do MV02.

Deadlift: 215x5x3
Pullup Ladders: 1,2,3 x 3
MV02 15:15 w/ 16kg KB: 43 sets of 7

I felt great. No pain at all in the arm.

Yesterdays Deads and Todays Meltdown

I am so out of the habit of writing in my log that I completely forgot to put down yesterdays work. Here it is:

Deadlift: 205 x 5 x 3
Pullup ladder: 1,2,3 x 4

I am rebuilding my deadlift from the ground up. I am really focusing on technique and not weight. I am hoping once I get back up to the poundage that I am used to, the technique will all be dialed in.

As for today, on a whim I decided to do the Meltdown. I don't know why, since it was the routine that F-ed up Josh's shoulder, but I tried it anyway. I got to about the 30th snatch and I felt a twinge in my right bicep. I did a couple more and realized it wasn't going away and stopped dead. I figured I would live to fight another day.

No more meltdown for me.

Back in Business

Last week was a busy week. During those seven days I:

Took my last undergraduate finals...ever!
Moved
Graduated

Needless to say, I barely had time to get a workout in, much less write about it. Now that we have the internet working in our new place, I can get back to my log.

Today I did a bunch of presses with the 32kg and the 24kg and my fourth ever V02 15:15 workout. Here's what it looked like:

Whole lot of press w/ 32kg and 24kg KB
MV02 15:15 w/ 16kg KB: 39 sets of 7
