8.13.09 - Thursday - Day 4 - 4x7

Qigong Breathing exercises

Intu-Flow

Heavy Day -

A1. Dbl C&P - 32kgs - 3x5 (felt rough, but doable. I think 4x7 will preserve me better and keep me from over training again)
A2. Alt Renegade Rows - 32kgs - 3x5 (felt great)

1 minutes between sets

B1. High pulls - 40kg - 1x5/5, Dbl swings - 32kgs - 2x8 (hands so sweaty, I switched to dbl swings)
B2. FSQ - 40kg - 1x2/2, 2x5/5 (first time I have squatted with the 40kg)

1 minute rest between sets.

I had to break out the chalk, I was sweating so bad. Overall a great session, rougher that I thought. Started reading me new book, The Way of Energy. Good so far!
