2014-02-28 Push Press

Warmup

Press -
45x5
55x5
65x5
75x5
85x5
95x5
105x5
115x5? (may have skipped)
125x3
135x2
I went in with different music than usual, but it was time for a change regardless.

Push Press -
125x5x3
It took a few sets before I got the hang of this again, but I think I'm ok now.

Pull-Up -
8, 8, 7, 7

Front Raise -
20x8x3
Getting progressively easier. I'll take this at least once more, though.

DB Preacher -
25x8x3
Did some continuous reps, and rest-paused a bit on set 3. Gradually working back up.

Band Pullapart -
Mini*75, 50, 50

Cardio:
Erg - 5m warmup (3:05 pace), 4x(90@<2:00, 60@off, 30@3:05)
5m rest
Elliptical - 5m@1I, 7R, 140rpm; 10m@1I, 8R, 180rpm; 5m@1I, 7R, 130rpm

The erg is getting to be a pain in the ass here; it shuts down fast after I stop and makes it harder to track time while I get water and towel off, the straps make lift difficult, etc.. It also seems to lose track of time when I do a slow pace; I'm pretty sure I accidentally warmed up for a good bit more than I meant to because it stalled so much. Trying to sort my phone out for music in that position also doesn't work very well (hard to be back in pockets - might be time to just get some bluetooth earbuds).

I wore the Oly shoes for the whole workout today (forgot my chucks). I actually liked the effect on the elliptical, and probably preferred it to chucks on the erg.

I'm torn on how to handle the progression on cardio, see next.
