Another hour on the recumbent today while going through some circulatory system stuff, good times. This afternoon did

Press 2 x 5 @ 87.5, 1 x 5+ @ 87.5 (7 reps)

Deadlift 1 x 5+ @ 225 (12 reps)

Both felt pretty heavy, but I'm guessing it's partly because my sleep has been subpar and I hadn't eaten quite enough today. Hopefully the sleep issue will resolve itself as soon as biochem ends (another two weeks) and I'll get to sleep in two days a week!

Pushed yesterday's lifting to today:

Bench 2 x 5 @ 110, 1 x 5+ @ 110 (8 reps)

Squat 2 x 5 @ 170, 1 x 5+ @ 170 (8 reps)

170 for multiple reps and sets has been a big hurdle for me, so I was pumped to blow my last attempt out of the water!

Frequency method pullups is week are 5 sets 4, pushups are 5 sets 18. Also got in about an hour of study time on the recumbent this evening.

School is officially getting hectic now, so I've had to modify my expectations a little. Frequency method stuff has continued as usual. I played tennis on Thursday, biked on the recumbent for 55 minutes while reviewing today's dissection, and then this afternoon did:

Press 2 x 5 @ 85, 1 x 5+ @ 85 (9 reps)

Squat 2 x 5 @ 165, 1 x 5+ @ 165 (9 reps)

Pretty happy with these numbers, given that I was dead tired after the day.

Yesterday and today did my frequency method pullups and pushups (4 sets of 4 and 4 sets of 18, respectively). Also just finished

Bench 2 x 5 @ 107.5, 1 x 5+ @ 107.5 (8 reps)

Deadlift 1 x 5 @ 215 (15 reps)

Had to reset my grip after rep 13 but otherwise felt pretty good.

Anatomy starting definitely threw me off last week in terms of walking to school and burpees/any real conditioning. Next week I strive to do better. Yesterday played an hour of tennis, today was just

Press

2 x 5 @ 82.5, 1 x 5+ @ 82.5 (10 reps)

Squat

2 x 5 @ 160, 1 x 5+ @ 160 (9 reps)

Frequency method pullups and pushups and walking/generally moving have been consistent this week, burpees have not: I only did them yesterday (3 sets of 20 with 1 minute rest). Today I did

Bench Press

2 x 5 @ 105, 1 x 5+ @ 105 (10)

Squat

2 x 5 @ 155, 1 x 5+ @ 155 (8)

Gave up in middle of 9th rep. Dang.

Back into it today after a long birthday weekend. Did burpees on Saturday, 3 sets of 26 with 90 second rests. Miserable. Today was

Press
2 x 5 @ 80, 1 x 5+ @ 80 (12 reps)

Deadlift
1 x 5+ @ 210 (13 reps)

Felt pretty good. We're headed out now for a little bit of tennis to finish off the evening - we'll see how that goes after those deadlifts.

Frequency method this week (Mon-Fri) is 7 sets of 3 pushups, 7 sets of 15 pushups. Also continuing to walk to and from school every day. My burpee session goal for the week is 4 - now that I'm up in the 75+ range, it is starting to feel like torture.

Yesterday I managed to get 3 sets of burpees, each in 1:12, with 1:00 rests. Yay!

Today being my birfday I did my frequency method stuff, but decided to skip the burpee torture in the afternoon and moved right to

Bench
2 x 5 @ 102.5, 1 x 5+ @ 102.5 (10 reps)

Squat
2 x 5 @ 150, 1 x 5+ @ 150 (10 reps)

I am now cooling down with a glass of champagne. Good night!

This week (Monday-Friday) I'm doing 6 sets of 3 pullups and 6 sets of 15 pushups. This is my second full week hitting up the frequency method stuff again, feels good.

Monday and Tuesday did burpees. They were painful. Yesterday I didn't get 3 sets of 25 in the time allotted, partly because my wrist hurt some. Took today off from burpees and will see how it feels tomorrow. Today I did

Press
2 x 5 @ 77.5, 1 x 5+ @ 77.5 (11 reps)

Squat
2 x 5 @ 145, 1 x 5+ @ 145 (10 reps)

Both felt heavy, but squat felt a little more comfortable than it did last time.

Lifted today:

Bench
2 x 5 @ 100, 1 x 5+ @ 100 (10 reps)

Deadlift
1 x 5+ @ 205 (12 reps)

Then 3 sets of 23 burpees with 1 minute rest between sets. Still finishing inside of the time limit, so I'll be adding another rep tomorrow! We took 2 burpee holidays this past week, but I think I'm 17 or 18 for the last 19 or 20 days. It's definitely pretty hard now, so we may be taking a break or two every week, but we're aiming to keep going through the summer.

Later this afternoon we played about 75 minutes of tennis, which replaced my daily walk (walked about 30-45 minutes Tuesday through Sunday). I'm really enjoying having an active commute again!

Back to regularly scheduled programming yesterday:

Press

2 x 5 @ 75, 1 x 5+ @ 75 (14 reps)

Squats

2 x 5 @ 140, 1 x 5+ @ 140 (10 reps)

Also well into the 100-day burpee challenge (I think we just finished day 15) - did 3 sets of 22 with a minute's rest in-between. After squatting for the first time in 2 weeks. Ugly.

This week's frequency method work (Tuesday to Friday) is 5 sets 15 pushups and 5 sets 3 pullups.
