Fuck You Friday - Power Endurance/Mental Toughness

Today I woke up just ready to put in some work.  I opted for more Bulletproof Coffee this morning instead of eggs and oatmeal.

While I waited for my work out partner to show up, I knocked out 50 strict form push ups, 50 strict, dead hang pull ups and 50 strict, as deep as possible dips.  It felt pretty good, especially my push-ups because I've been working so hard on them recently.

This was the plan for today:

While doing burpee pull-ups earlier this week, I noticed my timing and footwork was way off and I was making it a lot harder to do.  I thought the burpee pull-up ladder was a good way to start our main workout with a little leg fatigue and concentrate on perfect reps.  

The bench press/row ladder was especially difficult today.  I wanted to start off at 140m and get progressively faster, but as the bench presses went down, so did my recovery for the row.  I managed to pull off my goal, which only means I could have started at 145m.

(excuse the moto bullshit quotes--we share a whiteboard)

Since we only have the one barbell in the gym now, Adam and I switched off for a 10 minute max strict press at 65lbs.  I ended up with 134 and Adam ended up with 125, I think.

This was my first time doing the Gym Jones "Tailpipe," and it was pretty difficult.  My splits for my 250m were 49.8/49.2/47.3, which hopefully we can improve on.  Our transitions from kettlebell to rowing machine were pretty slow and next time we'll time the whole Tailpipe to get a baseline.

All in all, it was a killer workout and hopefully I earned some margaritas and burgers this weekend.  Starting 5/3/1 for my afternoon workouts next week, so hopefully the heavy barbell work will add that oompf I've been missing with all this conditioning.
