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)

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.
