One aspect of aging (youâll confirm this truth sooner or later) is the ebb and flow of âenergy.
The days I push a sled or carry heavy laden bars (Farmerâs Walk) always results in the next day not walking to my garage gym and training.
Just flat out all my fluids are a quart and half down. ð
So when the âjuiceâ returns, I take full advantage and push it.
Today, one day after a rest day after a 400 pound sled push over a 600 foot high-friction concrete surface, in the morning after oatmeal topped by a banana and apple shards, and copious coffee, the garage gym beckoned and, âjuice-full,â this:
1. 20 rep lite bar Smith Machine squat warmups.
2. Rack Olympic bar squats, 4x13x225#.
3. Calf raises/stretches launching off elevated wood block between squat sets, 3 foot positions 60 to 70 reps each.
4. Standing Smith Machine lite bar military presses, 4x12
5. In between sets, lite (5#) side lateral plate raises then moving each elevated plate plate from my sides and bringing them together in front of me, then holding steady - elevated - at my sides for a count of twelve. 4x12x5# each hand
6. EZ bar bicep curls 4x12x50#
7. Standing high cable double biceps curls, 4x15x40# (each side).
8. Pec deck flyes 4x8x140#.
9. Leg press (closer), 1037# (not a typo), reps 12-15-25-15-10 = 77
